Indonesia e-Visa for citizens of Madagascar: online application, fees and processing time 2026

Yes. As a Malagasy citizen you are not visa-exempt for Indonesia and must hold a valid authorisation before arrival. The tourist e-Visa covers short stays; any other purpose, such as work, study or a longer stay, falls under a separate visa category.

Have ready a Malagasy passport valid for at least six months on the date of entry, a compliant passport photo, your return ticket and proof of accommodation. The exact fee and validity period are not confirmed here and should be checked directly on the official portal when you apply, as they change from time to time.

The whole process is completed online at the official portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id: you create an account, fill in the form and upload your supporting documents. There is no need to visit an Indonesian embassy in person. The approved e-Visa is emailed to you as a PDF, which you print or keep on your phone for boarding and immigration control.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Madagascar 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.

Submit your application several working days before departure to absorb any slower processing or requests for extra documents. Pay the fee with an internationally accepted bank card and confirm that the name and passport number you enter match your travel document exactly.

The most common mistake is travelling on a passport with less than six months' validity, which leads to denied boarding. Avoid unofficial intermediary sites that overcharge for the service: only evisa.imigrasi.go.id is the official source. Finally, do not confuse the e-Visa with the visa on arrival, and make sure your category matches the actual purpose of your trip.
