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