Our guide to the Indonesia visa from Kuwait
Kuwaiti citizens can obtain a visa for Indonesia on arrival at the main entry points, or apply online for the electronic visa on arrival (e-VOA) before departure.
Kuwait is among the nationalities eligible for a visa on arrival in Indonesia for short tourist or business stays. Kuwaiti travellers have two options: get the visa directly at the immigration counter on arrival, or plan ahead by applying for the e-VOA online through the official portal. Exact amounts and durations are set by the Indonesian authorities.
Do you need a visa?
Holders of a Kuwaiti passport cannot enter without formalities, but they qualify for a visa on arrival (VOA) for a short stay. This visa is issued at designated airports and seaports; it can also be requested in advance online (e-VOA). The passport must remain valid for at least six months beyond entry.

500,000 IDR
Official government fee only. Providers and visa centres add their own service charge on top.

How to apply for a visa for Indonesia from Kuwait
- 1Check before departure that your entry point actually issues the visa on arrival.

- 3Complete the form at the dedicated counter after landing.
- 4Pay the fee and collect the sticker before immigration control.
Another route is open to your nationality: Indonesia e-Visa, applied for online before departure.
How and where to apply
Two routes: at the VOA counter on arrival in Bali, Jakarta or another approved entry point, paying on the spot; or online before departure at the official portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id, where you create an account, complete the form and pay by card to receive the e-VOA by email.
Where do you apply for a visa for Indonesia from Kuwait?
A visa on arrival for Indonesia is issued at the border post itself, at a counter placed before immigration control.
- Not every crossing issues it. Confirm that your specific airport or land border does before you book.
- The counter is reached after landing and before immigration. Follow the visa signs rather than the exit.
- The fee is usually paid on the spot, sometimes in cash and in a specific currency. Card is not guaranteed.
Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Kuwait on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Kuwait but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

How long does a visa for Indonesia take?
A visa on arrival is issued at the counter of the entry point when you cross the border: there is no processing time to plan for before departure.
Through the online application (Indonesia e-Visa): 4-5 business days.
Processing and tips
The online e-VOA is usually issued quickly, but apply a few days before departure. VOA on arrival can save preparation but may involve a queue; the e-VOA lets you skip the counter. Check the permitted length of stay and the options for extension.
Before you fly, and at the border

Common mistakes
The main mistakes: confusing the short-stay VOA with a visa that permits work, overstaying the allowed period, or presenting a passport too close to expiry. Use only the government portal for the e-VOA to avoid third-party sites charging extra fees.
