Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Italy?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Italian nationals must obtain an authorisation for a tourist stay in Indonesia: an e-Visa applied for online before departure, with an electronic visa on arrival also available at selected entry points.
An Italian traveller planning Bali, Java or Komodo does not enter Indonesia freely. The most reliable route is the tourist e-Visa, to be requested and paid for online before boarding. The Italian passport must remain valid for at least six months from entry.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. An Italian citizen must hold either an e-Visa prepared in advance or an electronic visa on arrival offered at some Indonesian airports and seaports. Applying for the e-Visa before flying is preferable, avoiding queues and the uncertainty of on-site availability.
How and where to apply
Everything is done online at the official portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id run by Indonesia's Directorate General of Immigration. The Italian applicant opens an account, completes the form, uploads documents and pays by card. No trip to an Indonesian consulate in Italy is required for this tourist category.
Documents and fees
Carry an Italian passport valid six months after entry, a photo, an address of stay and an onward or return ticket. The exact e-Visa fee and its validity period should be confirmed on the official portal, as these details can change.
Processing and tips
File the application several days before the flight to absorb any processing time or additional-document request. Keep the e-Visa both digital and printed, and check that the name matches the passport exactly. Also consult Viaggiare Sicuri for any health requirements.
Common mistakes
Common errors for an Italian traveller: counting on free entry that does not exist for this stay, travelling on a passport whose validity drops below six months, or confusing the advance e-Visa with the visa on arrival. Never pay on a third-party site imitating the official portal.
