Our guide to the Indonesia visa from Sweden
Swedish nationals require a visa to visit Indonesia, and the easiest way to get one is Indonesia's electronic visa on arrival (e-VoA), obtained online via the official portal before departure.
Sweden falls under Indonesia's e-visa arrangements, so Swedish travellers bound for Bali, the Komodo National Park or the diving grounds of Flores secure their permit online instead of entering visa-free. The whole request is handled at evisa.imigrasi.go.id, while a visa on arrival remains available at designated entry points for those who prefer it. Check that your Swedish passport will stay valid for at least six months after you arrive.
Do Swedes need a visa for Indonesia?
Yes. Swedish citizens do not qualify for visa-free tourism in Indonesia and must carry a valid visa for holidays or short business stays. The most convenient form is the electronic visa on arrival (e-VoA), applied for online before you leave Sweden. The counter visa on arrival is still open to Swedes at Indonesia's official airports and seaports if you would rather sort it on the day.
Where Swedish travellers apply
Applications go through Indonesia's official site, evisa.imigrasi.go.id, and a routine tourist e-VoA does not require a visit to the Indonesian Embassy in Stockholm. You set up an account, upload the passport bio page and a photo, and pay the fee using an international card. For work, study or extended stays, the Embassy in Stockholm handles the appropriate visa categories.
How much does a visa for Indonesia cost from Sweden?
500,000 IDR
Official government fee only. Providers and visa centres add their own service charge on top.

What documents are required for a visa for Indonesia?
Documents published for the online application (Indonesia e-Visa):
- Passport valid 6 months
- Photo
- Proof of funds
- Return ticket
No separate list is published for the visa issued on arrival in a source we can verify: confirm with the official source which documents the counter will ask for.
Documents and fees
Swedish applicants usually need a passport with six months' validity and a free page, a recent colour photograph, proof of onward or return travel and a card to pay the e-VoA fee. As Indonesian immigration sets the fee, permitted stay and validity and revises them from time to time, confirm the current details on the official portal. Steer clear of agents adding markups to the government price.
How to apply for a visa for Indonesia from Sweden
- 1Check before departure that your entry point actually issues the visa on arrival.

- 3Complete the form at the dedicated counter after landing.
- 4Pay the fee and collect the sticker before immigration control.
Another route is open to your nationality: Indonesia e-Visa, applied for online before departure.
Where do you apply for a visa for Indonesia from Sweden?
A visa on arrival for Indonesia is issued at the border post itself, at a counter placed before immigration control.
- Not every crossing issues it. Confirm that your specific airport or land border does before you book.
- The counter is reached after landing and before immigration. Follow the visa signs rather than the exit.
- The fee is usually paid on the spot, sometimes in cash and in a specific currency. Card is not guaranteed.
Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Sweden on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Sweden 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.

How long does a visa for Indonesia take?
A visa on arrival is issued at the counter of the entry point when you cross the border: there is no processing time to plan for before departure.
Through the online application (Indonesia e-Visa): 4-5 business days.
Processing and useful tips
The e-Visa is generally granted quickly, though no fixed processing time is promised, so submit it several days before flying. Keep both a printed and a digital copy of the approval to present on arrival. Verify beforehand that your chosen airport or seaport appears on Indonesia's official e-VoA list.

Common mistakes
The classic error among Swedes is a passport with less than six months left, which can result in being turned away at check-in. Overstaying the permitted days and treating a tourist visa as a work permit are further missteps that lead to fines. Finally, use only evisa.imigrasi.go.id and confirm the fee there, since imitation websites are common.
