Indonesia visa on arrival for citizens of Russia: conditions and fees 2026

Yes. A Russia passport gives access to a visa issued on arrival, not to free entry: it has to be requested and paid for at the counter, in an airport or land border authorised to issue it. The length of stay associated with this route is 30 days. Not every border post issues this visa, so consult the list of authorised entry points published by the Indonesian authorities before booking a flight to a secondary destination.

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.

Bring a valid passport, an onward or return ticket, and the address of your accommodation in Indonesia. No amount is quoted in this guide: the fee is set by the Indonesian authorities, displayed at the counter and published on their official site. Accepted payment methods vary between entry points, which is why carrying some cash alongside a bank card is useful.

The procedure takes place on the spot, after landing. Follow the signs to the visa on arrival counter, hand over your passport and proof of onward travel, pay the fee, then present the receipt or sticker at immigration control. Allow time, because the counter can be crowded when several flights land together. Extension rules and other conditions are set by the Indonesian immigration service.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Russia 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.

The visa is issued immediately at the counter when the file is complete, but queues can be long at peak hours: do not plan a tight domestic connection right after landing. Check the conditions on an official Indonesian source a few days before departure, because visa on arrival rules change regularly. Keep the payment receipt until you leave the country.

The most common mistake is treating the authorised length of stay as something that extends automatically: overstaying leads to a daily fine and to trouble when leaving. The second trap is the remaining validity of the passport, which must meet the Indonesian requirement on the day of entry, not on the day of booking. Finally, be wary of intermediary sites selling a supposed paid pre registration: the visa is paid at the official counter, on arrival.
