Discover visa requirements for your trip
Indian nationals need a visa for Indonesia. Most apply for an electronic visa (e-Visa) online before leaving, and a visa on arrival remains possible at eligible entry points.
Indonesia issues Indian travellers a short-stay tourist visa. The recommended route is the e-Visa, requested in advance on the official portal at evisa.imigrasi.go.id, while major airports such as Bali (Ngurah Rai) and Jakarta frequently grant a visa on arrival. The Indian passport must be valid for at least six months from entry.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. An Indian national must hold a visa to travel to Indonesia for tourism. The usual option is the e-Visa arranged before departure; at designated international airports and seaports a visa on arrival may also be issued, depending on the entry point and the applicable rules.
How and where to apply
The e-Visa application is made online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id, the portal of Indonesia's Directorate General of Immigration. You create an account, upload your passport bio-page and a photo, complete the travel form and pay by card; the approved e-Visa is sent by email as a PDF. A traveller who chooses the visa on arrival pays for it at the immigration counter on arrival.
Documents and fees
Prepare an Indian passport valid for at least six months with a blank page, a recent photo, a return or onward ticket and proof of accommodation. The fee, validity and length of stay are not specified in our data: check evisa.imigrasi.go.id for the current amounts and durations before you pay.
Processing and tips
The e-Visa is generally delivered electronically within a few days, but we guarantee no timeframe; submit at least a week ahead and keep the PDF as well as a printout. Check that the name and passport number match the document exactly, and look into the extension conditions if your stay runs beyond the initial period.
Common mistakes
Do not board with a passport under six months' validity or without a free page. Do not always rely on the visa on arrival: it depends on the entry point and is not guaranteed for every purpose. Finally, reread each field before payment, as a typing error can invalidate the e-Visa and lead to refused boarding.
