Indonesia e-Visa Information
Important: All travelers entering Indonesia must complete the electronic Customs Declaration (e-CD) form online before arrival. More details on how to apply are available.
The Indonesian government introduced the e-Visa system in October 2020 to simplify the visa process and eliminate the need to wait in long lines for a visa on arrival.
With the Indonesia e-Visa, the entire application is completed online—no embassy or consulate visit is required. There are two main types of online visas available:
-
Single-entry e-VOA – one trip to Indonesia, valid for up to 30 days, for tourism, business, or transit.
-
Single-entry Visitor Visa – one trip to Indonesia, valid for up to 60 days, for tourism only.
Both visa types are single-entry and must be used to enter Indonesia within 90 days of approval. Once approved, these visas are also valid for Bali and any other region in Indonesia.
For those intending to work or live in Indonesia, a different visa must be obtained through an embassy or consulate, as the e-Visa does not cover long-term employment or residence.

Drive Freely in Indonesia with an International Driving Permit
While the Indonesia e-Visa is mandatory for all visitors, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is a useful optional addition for those planning to explore the island by car or motorbike. With an IDP, you can navigate Indonesia’s scenic roads, from quiet coastal villages in the east to Lombok’s hidden beaches and Java’s volcanic landscapes, without worry. Many rental companies and local authorities prefer or require an IDP, especially if your license is not in English or Bahasa Indonesia. It also helps at police checkpoints, providing instant proof of your driving credentials. Applying is quick and easy online, with options for one, two, or three years of validity. Carrying an IDP makes your trip smoother, safer, and gives you the freedom to discover Indonesia at your own pace.
