Our guide to the Indonesia visa from the Netherlands
Dutch nationals must obtain an authorisation for a tourist stay in Indonesia: an e-Visa applied for online before departure, with an electronic visa on arrival also offered at selected entry points.
A Dutch traveller planning Bali, Java or Sumatra does not enter Indonesia freely. The safest route is the tourist e-Visa, requested and paid for online before boarding. The Dutch passport must remain valid for at least six months from entry.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Dutch citizen must hold either an e-Visa prepared in advance or an electronic visa on arrival offered at some Indonesian airports and seaports. Obtaining the e-Visa before flying is the best option, avoiding queues and the uncertainty of availability on arrival.
How much does a visa for Indonesia cost from the Netherlands?
500,000 IDR
Official government fee only. Providers and visa centres add their own service charge on top.
Indonesia e-Visa, applied for online before departure: 1,000,000 IDR.

Documents and fees
Have ready a Dutch passport valid six months after entry, a photo, an address of stay and an onward or return ticket. The exact e-Visa fee and its validity period should be checked on the official portal, as this information can change.

Another route is open to your nationality: Indonesia e-Visa, applied for online before departure.
How and where to apply
The application is made only online at the official portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id run by Indonesia's Directorate General of Immigration. The Dutch applicant creates an account, completes the form, uploads documents and pays by card. No visit to an Indonesian consulate in the Netherlands is needed for this tourist category.
Where do you apply for a visa for Indonesia from the Netherlands?
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 the Netherlands on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in the Netherlands 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
Apply several days before the flight to cover any processing time or additional document. Keep the e-Visa both digital and printed, and check that the name matches the passport exactly. Also consult the Nederland Wereldwijd travel advice for any health requirements.

Common mistakes
Common errors for a Dutch traveller: believing in free entry that does not exist for this stay, travelling on a passport whose validity falls below six months, or confusing the advance e-Visa with the visa on arrival. Never pay on a third-party site imitating the official portal.
