Key takeaways

  • Apply for the e-VOA online before you fly to skip the arrival queue.
  • Fill in the All Indonesia declaration and keep its QR code on your phone.
  • Use only the official government websites; copycat sites charge extra.
  • Bali’s tourist levy doesn’t apply to Jakarta.

Do you need a visa?

  • ASEAN citizens (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and the rest) can visit Indonesia visa-free for 30 days.
  • Most other visitors, including from the US, UK, Australia, the EU and many more, need a visa on arrival. Buy it online before you fly as an e-VOA, or at the airport on arrival.

The e-VOA

  • Cost: Rp500,000.
  • Stay: 30 days, extendable once by another 30 days.
  • Apply: on the official immigration site, evisa.imigrasi.go.id, before you travel; you’ll get it by email.
  • Proposed rise: in August 2026 immigration proposed raising the fee to Rp750,000 (e-VOA) and Rp1 million (on arrival). Check the official site for the current fee.

The All Indonesia arrival declaration

Since 1 October 2025, every passenger arriving from abroad must complete the All Indonesia declaration at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id within 72 hours before arrival. It combines the customs declaration, the health form and immigration details in one, and gives you a QR code to show on arrival.

Your passport and ticket

  • Your passport should be valid for at least six months after you arrive, with blank pages.
  • Have proof of a return or onward ticket.

After you land

From Soekarno-Hatta, the airport train takes you to BNI City in central Jakarta in about 48 minutes (Rp70,000). See our airport guide and the step-by-step route to Bundaran HI.

Visa rules change. Always check the official immigration websites, or your nearest Indonesian embassy, before you travel.
