Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Malta?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Maltese citizens need a visa for Indonesia, but it is easy to obtain, either online through the official e-Visa or on arrival at major entry points.
Maltese passport holders dreaming of Bali, the Gili Islands or Jakarta fall under a visa-on-arrival regime. In practice they can obtain a visa at the counter of certain international airports or, more conveniently, an e-VoA online through the Directorate General of Immigration's portal before leaving Malta. The electronic option remains the safest way to skip the queues.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, but in a streamlined form. Maltese citizens are not fully exempt: they qualify for a visa on arrival for a short tourist stay in Indonesia. This visa can be issued at the counter of major airports (Denpasar-Bali, Jakarta-Soekarno-Hatta) or obtained in advance online as an e-VoA.
How and where to apply
From Valletta or elsewhere in Malta, the simplest option is to request the e-VoA at evisa.imigrasi.go.id: account, form, passport upload and card payment, all before you fly. Otherwise the visa on arrival is paid directly at the immigration desk of your Indonesian airport of entry. No consular visit is required.
Documents and fees
Carry a Maltese passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival and a recent ID photo for the online request. A return or onward ticket may be required both at the counter and online. The fee amount and validity are not confirmed here: check the current rate on the official portal.
Processing and tips
An e-VoA secured in advance lets you skip the arrival-desk queue, which is especially long in Bali during peak season. Our source does not guarantee a set timeframe, so allow a few days to be safe. Check that your details match the passport exactly and keep a printed and digital copy.
Common mistakes
Do not assume the visa on arrival is offered at every entry point: the list changes and some land borders are excluded. Avoid intermediary sites that overcharge for the e-VoA; only evisa.imigrasi.go.id is official. Finally, a Maltese passport valid for less than six months is a common reason for refusal.
