Our guide to the Indonesia visa from Norway
Norwegian nationals must hold a visa for Indonesia; the e-Visa is requested online before departure, with a visa on arrival offered only at certain entry points.
A Norwegian traveller aiming for Bali, Sumatra or Jakarta prepares the entry formality before leaving the country. From Norway, the e-Visa completed on Indonesia's official immigration portal and paid online is the simplest path. The passport must stay valid for at least six months after arrival.
Do you need a visa?
Norway is not among the countries exempt from an Indonesian visa, so a Norwegian passport holder needs a valid visa, whether the trip is tourism or a short business stay. The electronic e-Visa, obtained before boarding, is the recommended format; a visa on arrival remains possible at some airports but involves queues and a risk of refusal at the counter.
How much does a visa for Indonesia cost from Norway?
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.
What does a visa for Indonesia really cost?
The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.
- Government fee500,000 IDR
Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.
- Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top
Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.
We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.
What documents are required for a visa for Indonesia?
Documents published for the online application (Indonesia e-Visa):
- Passport valid 6 months
- Photo
- Proof of funds
- Return ticket
No separate list is published for the visa issued on arrival in a source we can verify: confirm with the official source which documents the counter will ask for.
Documents and fees
Plan for a Norwegian passport valid for at least six months, a photo meeting the standards, an address for your stay in Indonesia and, in most cases, a ticket out. The exact amount and permitted duration depend on the visa category and are not fixed here, check the official rate shown on the portal when you apply.
How to apply for a visa for Indonesia from Norway
- 1Check before departure that your entry point actually issues the visa on arrival.
- 2Prepare the supporting documents and the fee, often required in cash.
- 3Complete the form at the dedicated counter after landing.
- 4Pay the fee and collect the sticker before immigration control.
Another route is open to your nationality: Indonesia e-Visa, applied for online before departure.
How and where to apply
The procedure is entirely online, from Oslo, Bergen or any point in Norway, at the official portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id. You open an account, complete the form, upload the requested documents and settle the fee by card; the e-Visa then arrives by email, with no embassy visit.
Where do you apply for a visa for Indonesia from Norway?
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 Norway on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Norway 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
The processing time varies with the category and demand, so submit the application a few days ahead rather than at the last minute. Keep the e-Visa printed or on your phone, verify that the name and passport number match the document, and retain the payment receipt.
Before you fly, and at the border
- Passport validity: most countries require the passport to stay valid beyond the return date, and the margin required differs from one destination to the next. Check it on the official source, and count from your return, not from your departure.
- A visa is not a right of entry. The border officer decides, and may ask for a return ticket, an address or proof of funds even when everything is in order.
- Conditional exemptions exist: several countries waive the visa for holders of a valid visa or residence permit from a third country. This depends on the destination and on the document, and we do not publish that rule when our sources do not carry it. The official page does.
- Minors travelling alone or with one parent are often asked for extra papers, typically a parental authorisation and the family record. Ask the post before booking.
- Overstaying is not a formality. It exposes you to a fine, to removal, and to an entry ban that can outlast the trip by years, including for the whole area when the destination belongs to one.
Common mistakes
Frequent pitfalls among Norwegian travellers: a passport about to expire, an error in the passport number, no proof of accommodation or return ticket, and confusing the tourist e-Visa with the visa on arrival. Turning to a paid intermediary site instead of the official portal needlessly raises the cost.
