Do I need a visa for Indonesia from The Gambia?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Gambian nationals need a visa for Indonesia, which they obtain online through the official e-Visa before leaving.
Gambian travellers tempted by Bali, Java's volcanoes or the seabeds of Sulawesi need an Indonesian tourist visa. From Banjul or Serrekunda the application is filed entirely online on the Directorate General of Immigration's e-Visa portal, with no consulate. An important point for departures from The Gambia: a yellow-fever vaccination certificate may be requested on entry to Indonesia.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Gambian citizens do not enjoy an exemption and must obtain a visa before entering Indonesia for a tourist stay. The standard format is the electronic e-Visa, requested online. A visa on arrival exists at some airports, but an e-Visa prepared in advance guarantees smoother boarding.
How and where to apply
From The Gambia, the whole application is filed online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id. You create an account, complete the form, upload your documents and pay the fee by card. The e-Visa is then emailed to you; no trip to an Indonesian embassy is needed from Banjul.
Documents and fees
Have a Gambian passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival, a recent photo, a scan of the bio page and an online payment method. A return ticket and proof of accommodation may be required. As The Gambia is a yellow-fever risk area, keep your international vaccination card to hand. The fee amount and validity are not confirmed here — check them on the official portal.
Processing and tips
The e-Visa processing time is not guaranteed in our source; since flights from The Gambia involve connections, file your request well ahead. Make sure the name and passport number match the document exactly. Keep a printed and a digital copy of the e-Visa throughout the trip.
Common mistakes
Do not forget the yellow-fever certificate: leaving The Gambia without it can lead to refused entry. Do not automatically rely on visa on arrival, reserved for certain entry points. Finally, avoid third-party sites that overcharge: only evisa.imigrasi.go.id is official.
