SERVICES
General Information
To gain entry into Indonesia, foreign nationals need to have in their
possession passports with at least six months of validity and
appropriate visas.
Visa application is carried out at the
Indonesian Embassies or Consulates overseas nearest to the
applicants’ domicile. The application is made by filling out appropriate
application forms - available from the Embassies or Consulates - and by
enclosing 2 colour passport-size photographs and a valid passport, along
with supporting documents depending on the types of visa to be applied.
Please note that the passport submitted has to have at least six (6)
months of validity at the proposed date of entry into Indonesia.
A fee is payable in local currencies for the visa application, depending
on the type of visa and the duration of stay. Please note that the fee
should only be paid in cash or by postal order and is non-refundable.
Queries regarding the amount of the visa fee should be referred to the
Embassy/Consulate where the visa application is filed. Decisions on
many of the types of visa applications are normally made within 24
hours.
Visa that has been issued is valid for 90 days. If an applicant fails to
enter Indonesia within the 90 days period after the visa is issued, the
