Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Mauritania?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Mauritanian citizens need a visa for Indonesia; the standard route is the official e-Visa, applied for online before departure.
Mauritanian passport holders hoping to explore Bali, Jakarta or Yogyakarta must arrange a visa in advance, as Mauritania is not among the fully visa-exempt nationalities. Indonesia has digitised the process: the application is filed on the Directorate General of Immigration's e-Visa portal, with no consular visit required. Confirm the exact category and fee on the official site before booking.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Mauritanian nationals are not among the visa-exempt countries and must hold a visa before entering Indonesia for tourism. The usual format is the electronic e-Visa, requested online ahead of travel. Do not travel assuming a visa on arrival: the reliable route for a Mauritanian passport is the e-Visa obtained beforehand.
How and where to apply
From Nouakchott, Nouadhibou or any other departure point, the whole application is submitted online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id. You create an account, complete the form, upload your supporting documents and pay the fee by card. The electronic visa is then emailed to you, sparing a trip to an Indonesian embassy.
Documents and fees
Have a Mauritanian passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival, a recent ID photo and a scan of the biographic page. A return ticket and proof of accommodation may be requested, and a yellow-fever vaccination certificate can apply depending on your itinerary. The fee amount and validity are not confirmed here: check the official portal for the current rate.
Processing and tips
The processing time for the Indonesian e-Visa is not guaranteed by our source, so file your application several days before your flight out of Mauritania. Make sure the name and passport number you enter match the document exactly, as any error blocks boarding. Keep both a printed and a digital copy of the visa throughout the trip.
Common mistakes
The most common mistake among Mauritanian travellers is relying on a visa on arrival that is not guaranteed for this nationality. Be wary too of intermediary sites that overcharge: only evisa.imigrasi.go.id is the official source. Finally, a passport valid for less than six months is a classic reason for refusal.
