Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Palau?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Palauan nationals need a visa for Indonesia; the official e-Visa is applied for online before departure, avoiding any consular trip.
Palauan passport holders wanting to explore Sulawesi, Bali or the Raja Ampat archipelago need a tourist visa. As there is no Indonesian mission in Palau, the electronic route is especially convenient: the application is filed on the Directorate General of Immigration's e-Visa portal. A visa on arrival exists at certain airports, but an e-Visa arranged in advance remains the most reliable.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Palauan citizens must obtain a visa before entering Indonesia for a tourist stay. The standard format is the electronic e-Visa requested online. At major entry points such as Denpasar or Jakarta a visa on arrival may also be issued, but it is not guaranteed for every nationality: an e-Visa obtained beforehand is the safest option from Palau.
How and where to apply
From Koror, Ngerulmud or any Palauan state, the process is completed entirely online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id. You create an account, fill in the form, upload your supporting documents and pay by card. The electronic visa arrives by email — no trip to an Indonesian embassy is required, which is decisive since the country has no Indonesian mission on its territory.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Palauan passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival, a recent passport photo, a scan of the bio page and an online payment method. A return or onward ticket and proof of accommodation may be required. The fee amount and validity period are not confirmed here: check the official portal for the current rate before paying.
Processing and tips
The e-Visa processing time is not guaranteed in our source, so file several days before departure, allowing for the flight connections often needed from Palau to Indonesia. Make sure the name and passport number you enter match the document exactly. Keep both a printed and a digital copy of the e-Visa throughout the trip.
Common mistakes
Do not automatically count on visa on arrival: it depends on the entry point and prevailing rules. Avoid third-party sites that overcharge; only evisa.imigrasi.go.id is the official source. Finally, a passport with less than six months' validity is a classic ground for refusal — check it before booking from Palau.
