Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Poland?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Polish citizens need a visa to visit Indonesia, and the practical solution is the electronic visa on arrival (e-VoA), requested online through Indonesia's official portal before travelling.
Poland is covered by Indonesia's electronic-visa system, so Polish tourists heading to Bali, the Gili Islands or Jakarta obtain their permit online rather than entering visa-free. The entire application is done at evisa.imigrasi.go.id, with a visa on arrival still offered at designated airports and seaports as a backup. Ensure your Polish passport is valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date.
Do Poles need a visa for Indonesia?
Yes. Polish nationals are not covered by Indonesia's visa-free tourist scheme and must hold a valid visa for a holiday or short business visit. The easiest route is the electronic visa on arrival (e-VoA), requested online before you leave Poland. The on-arrival visa is still available to Poles in person at Indonesia's official international entry points.
Where Polish travellers apply
Applications are submitted on Indonesia's official portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id, and a standard tourist e-VoA does not require a visit to the Indonesian Embassy in Warsaw. You create an account, upload your passport data page and a photo, and pay the fee with an international card. For non-tourist purposes — work, study or long stays — the Embassy in Warsaw is the right point of contact.
Documents and fees
Polish applicants normally need a passport valid at least six months with a spare page, a recent passport photo, proof of return or onward travel and a card for the e-VoA fee. The exact fee, the length of stay and the validity are decided by Indonesian immigration and may change, so verify the current figures on the official portal. Avoid intermediary sites that add their own charges on top.
Processing and tips
The e-Visa is usually issued quickly, but no guaranteed turnaround is stated, so apply several days before departure. Print your approval and keep a copy on your phone to show at the immigration counter. Confirm that your arrival airport or seaport is among those officially designated for e-VoA holders before you travel.
Common mistakes
The most common slip among Poles is a passport with less than six months' validity, which can lead to being refused boarding. Overstaying the permitted period or using a tourist visa for paid work are further mistakes that carry fines. Finally, apply and check the fee only at evisa.imigrasi.go.id, as look-alike commercial sites are widespread.
