Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Netherlands?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
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 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.
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.
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.
