Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Portugal?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Portuguese travellers need a visa for Indonesia. In practice it is obtained online as an e-Visa before departure, and a visa on arrival is also offered at some entry points.
A Portuguese passport holder planning a trip to Bali, Jakarta or anywhere else in Indonesia cannot enter without prior authorisation. From Portugal the simplest route is the e-Visa, requested and paid for on Indonesia's official immigration portal before flying. The passport must stay valid for at least six months from the date of arrival.
Do you need a visa?
Portugal is not on Indonesia's visa-exempt list, so a Portuguese citizen needs a valid visa for both tourism and short business stays. The recommended format is the electronic e-Visa, secured before boarding; a visa on arrival is still available at some airports and seaports, but the e-Visa avoids queues and the risk of being denied boarding.
How and where to apply
The application is entirely online and can be completed from Lisbon, Porto or anywhere in Portugal at the official portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id. You create an account, fill in the form, upload the required documents and pay the fee by card. No visit to the Indonesian embassy is needed for this short-stay visa: the approval is sent by email.
Documents and fees
Have ready a Portuguese passport valid for at least six months, a compliant passport photo, an address for your stay in Indonesia and, in most cases, an onward or return ticket. The exact fee and period of validity depend on the visa category and are not fixed here — check the official price shown on the portal when you apply.
Processing and tips
Processing time varies with the category and current demand, so file several days ahead rather than at the last minute. Keep the e-Visa printed or on your phone, make sure the name and passport number match your passport exactly, and keep the payment receipt.
Common mistakes
The most common mistakes among Portuguese travellers: a passport too close to expiry, a typo in the passport number, no proof of accommodation or return ticket, and confusing the tourist e-Visa with the visa on arrival. Using a paid intermediary website instead of the official portal is another needless extra cost.
