Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Sweden?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
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.
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.
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.
