Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Iceland?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Icelandic citizens need a visa for Indonesia, but it is easily requested online through the official e-Visa before travelling.
Icelandic travellers swapping the landscapes around Reykjavík for the beaches of Bali, the temples of Yogyakarta or the island of Lombok need a tourist visa. Indonesia has digitised the process: the application is filed on the Directorate General of Immigration's e-Visa portal, with no consular visit needed. A visa on arrival exists at some entry points, but an e-Visa arranged in advance remains the safest option.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Icelandic nationals are not fully visa-exempt and must obtain a visa for a tourist stay in Indonesia. The standard format is the electronic e-Visa, requested online. At major airports such as Denpasar (Bali) and Jakarta-Soekarno-Hatta a visa on arrival may also be issued, but the e-Visa avoids queues and last-minute uncertainty.
How and where to apply
From Iceland, the whole application is submitted online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id. You open an account, complete the form, upload your supporting documents and pay the fee by card. The electronic visa is then sent by email — no trip to an Indonesian embassy, often accredited from a neighbouring country, is required.
Documents and fees
Prepare an Icelandic passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival, a recent passport photo, a scan of the bio page and an online payment method. A return or onward ticket and proof of accommodation may be requested. The fee amount and validity period are not confirmed here — check the official portal for the current rate.
Processing and tips
Indonesia's e-Visa processing time is not guaranteed by our source, so plan several days ahead of your departure from Iceland. Make sure the name and passport number you enter are strictly identical to the document, as the smallest discrepancy blocks boarding. Keep a printed and a digital version of the e-Visa throughout the trip.
Common mistakes
Do not automatically bet on visa on arrival: it is offered only at certain entry points and can change. Be wary of third-party sites that overcharge for the process; only evisa.imigrasi.go.id is the official source. Finally, an Icelandic passport valid for less than six months frequently leads to refusal.
