To successfully apply for an Indonesia e-Visa, you need to meet certain requirements and provide specific documents. This page outlines everything you need to prepare for your application.
Regardless of the type of e-Visa you're applying for, the following requirements apply to all applications:
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned date of entry to Indonesia. It should have at least two blank pages for stamps.
A recent passport-sized photograph (35mm x 45mm) with a white background, taken within the last 6 months.
Proof of return or onward travel, showing you plan to leave Indonesia within the visa validity period.
Proof of accommodation arrangements for your stay in Indonesia, such as hotel reservations or a letter from your host.
Evidence of sufficient funds to support yourself during your stay (bank statements, credit card statements, etc.).
A valid email address where your e-Visa will be sent after approval.
In addition to the general requirements, each visa type has specific requirements:
Note: If you're staying with friends or family, you may need to provide a letter of invitation from your host in Indonesia.
Note: The invitation letter should be on company letterhead and include details about the purpose of your visit, duration, and who will be responsible for your expenses.
Note: For cultural exchange programs or volunteer activities, additional documentation may be required from the hosting organization in Indonesia.
All documents submitted as part of your e-Visa application must meet the following specifications:
Documents should be in PDF, JPG, or PNG format.
Each file should not exceed 2MB in size.
35mm x 45mm, white background, taken within the last 6 months.
Documents should be in English or Indonesian. Translations may be required for documents in other languages.
Health requirements for entering Indonesia may change based on current global health situations. As of the latest update, the following health-related requirements apply:
Depending on your country of origin and recent travel history, you may need to provide:
If you haven't finalized your accommodation plans, you can provide tentative hotel bookings that cover your intended stay period. Many hotels and booking platforms offer free cancellation options, which you can use to secure a reservation for visa purposes. Alternatively, if you're staying with friends or family, you can provide a letter of invitation from your host along with their contact information and address in Indonesia.
While there's no officially specified amount, a general guideline is to show that you have at least $100 per day for the duration of your planned stay in Indonesia. This can be demonstrated through recent bank statements, credit card statements, or traveler's cheques. The key is to show that you have enough funds to support yourself during your visit without needing to work illegally.
Yes, if your supporting documents are in a language other than English or Indonesian, you should provide certified translations. The translations should be done by a professional translator and include a statement certifying the accuracy of the translation along with the translator's contact information. For important documents like invitation letters or business documents, having proper translations helps ensure your application is processed without delays.
If your passport has less than 6 months validity from your planned date of entry to Indonesia, your e-Visa application will likely be rejected. Additionally, even with a valid visa, you may be denied entry at immigration if your passport doesn't meet the 6-month validity requirement. In this case, you should renew your passport before applying for an Indonesia e-Visa. Passport renewal processes vary by country, so check with your country's passport authority for the fastest renewal options.
While travel insurance is not officially mandatory for most e-Visa applications, it is strongly recommended. In some cases, particularly during health emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic, Indonesia may require proof of travel insurance with specific coverage (such as medical evacuation and COVID-19 treatment). Even when not required, having comprehensive travel insurance protects you from unexpected medical expenses, trip cancellations, and lost luggage, making it a wise investment for any international travel.
