Visas & Customs Requirements

General Requirements:

The Indonesian government requires visitors to have a passport valid for at least six months following the date of arrival. Indonesian authorities regularly deny entry to all foreign nationals who arrive with less than six months’ validity on their passports. The U.S. Embassy cannot obtain entry permission for U.S. citizens in this situation. Travelers will be required to depart for Singapore or a nearby country to obtain a new U.S. passport. Also, travelers to Indonesia who do not have the necessary six months’ validity remaining on their passports may be denied boarding at their point of origin or at a transit point en route. It generally takes two weeks for a U.S. passport to be issued outside of the United States.

U.S. citizens are required to have a visa to enter Indonesia. Tourist passport holders may apply for a non-extendable visitor Visa-on-Arrival at airports in Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya, Medan, Padang, Pekanbaru, Manado, Biak, Ambon, Balikpapan, Pontianak, Kupang, Batam, and South Sumatra. An onward/return ticket is required to apply for a Visa-on-Arrival at these ports of entry. Visas-on-Arrival are not available at the Banda Aceh airport. Visas-on-Arrival are also available at a limited number of seaports, including the Batam and Bintan ferry terminals near Singapore but are not available at any land border crossing. For complete details on Visas-on-Arrival and other visa information please visit the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia website. Visas-on-Arrival are not available for travelers using diplomatic or official passports to enter Indonesia.

Indonesian visas require one entirely blank passport page. Travelers without a blank visa page in their passport may be denied entry.

U.S. citizens may also apply for a visa at the Indonesian Embassy in Washington, DC, or at an Indonesian consulate elsewhere in the United States. In some cases, U.S. citizens may also apply at Indonesian embassies and consulates in other countries. U.S. citizens traveling overseas who wish to apply for an Indonesian visa should inquire with the Indonesian embassy in the country where they are currently traveling. For up-to-date Indonesian visa information, contact the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia: 2020 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington DC 20036, phone: (202) 775-5200, or at Indonesian Consulates in Los Angeles (213) 383-5126; San Francisco (415) 474-9571; Chicago (312) 920-1880; New York (212) 879-0600; and Houston (713) 785-1691.

Indonesia strictly enforces its immigration/visa requirements. Travelers who overstay the date stamped in their Visas-on-Arrival are subject to a fine of U.S. $20 per day and other sanctions. Westerners, including U.S. citizens, have been jailed for visa violations and/or overstays. Violators may also be subject to substantial fines and/or deportation from Indonesia for immigration and visa violations. Immigration officials have also detained foreigners for conducting business, academic, or other non-tourist activities while on visitor status. Volunteer work with local or international NGOs is not permitted while on visitor status. Penalties for such immigration/visa violations have included a prison sentence of up to five years and a fine of Rupiah 25 million. Travelers are encouraged to contact an Indonesian consular office to determine the appropriate visa category before traveling to Indonesia. Please consult the Criminal Penalties section below for further information.

All airline passengers, including children, are subject to a departure tax, which must be paid in Rupiah, cash only. The international departure tax as of November 2008 is 150,000 Rupiah in Jakarta and varies at other international airports. The domestic departure tax in Jakarta is 40,000 Rupiah, but this tax also varies by airport.

The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to or foreign residents of Indonesia.
