Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Saudi Arabia?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Saudi nationals must obtain a visa for Indonesia, which the official e-Visa lets them prepare entirely online before departure.
Saudi travellers planning a tourist stay in Bali, Yogyakarta or Lombok need a visa. Indonesia favours the e-Visa, an electronic authorisation requested on the Directorate General of Immigration's portal. A visa on arrival exists at several airports, but obtaining it online in advance is simpler from the Kingdom.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Citizens of Saudi Arabia are not visa-exempt for tourist travel to Indonesia. The recommended format is the e-Visa, requested online before departure. At Denpasar (Bali) or Jakarta a visa on arrival may also be issued, but it is wiser to plan ahead to avoid any hitch at the immigration counter.
How and where to apply
From Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam, the whole application is completed at evisa.imigrasi.go.id. Create an account, fill in the form, attach the supporting documents and pay the fee by card. The e-Visa then arrives by email — there is no need to visit the Indonesian embassy in Saudi Arabia.
Documents and fees
Carry a Saudi passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival, a recent photo, a scan of the bio page and a bank card for payment. A round-trip ticket and an accommodation booking may be requested. As the exact price and validity period are not confirmed here, check them on the official portal.
Processing and tips
Processing time is not guaranteed by our source, so file your e-Visa a few days before your flight out of the Kingdom, allowing for the local weekend. Check that the details entered match the passport perfectly. Bring a printed and a digital copy of the authorisation to show at boarding and on arrival.
Common mistakes
Do not travel assuming visa on arrival will always be available: it depends on the entry point and on rules that may change. Do not use unofficial platforms that add extra charges. A passport close to expiry remains the most common cause of refusal for Saudi nationals.
