Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Latvia?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Latvian citizens need a visa for Indonesia, but the process is simple: an online e-Visa before departure or a visa on arrival at the major airports.
Travellers holding a Latvian passport heading for Bali, Java or the Moluccas benefit from a simplified regime. The application is filed on Indonesia's immigration e-Visa portal, with no consulate, and a visa on arrival remains an option at the main entry points. The passport must be valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, but in a simplified form. Latvia is among the nationalities eligible for the visa on arrival (VOA) and its electronic version (e-VOA) for a short tourist stay in Indonesia. There is no full exemption, but also no heavy consular file.
How and where to apply
From Riga or elsewhere in Latvia, the most practical route is to request the e-VOA in advance at evisa.imigrasi.go.id: account creation, form, passport scan and card payment. Otherwise, a visa on arrival can be obtained at the counters of major airports such as Denpasar or Jakarta, without going through the Indonesian embassy.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Latvian 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 or onward ticket and proof of accommodation may be requested. The fee amount and validity period are not confirmed here — refer to the official portal.
Processing and tips
Our source does not guarantee a precise processing time, so allow a few days before the flight out of Latvia. Check that the entered data matches the passport exactly, since an error blocks boarding. Carry both a printed and a digital copy of the visa.
Common mistakes
Do not treat visa on arrival as automatic at every entry point: it is better to secure the e-VOA beforehand. Avoid third-party platforms that mark up the fees; only evisa.imigrasi.go.id is official. A passport with less than six months' validity remains the most frequent cause of refusal for Latvians.
