Persons entering Indonesia must have health insurance to cover the cost of COVID-19 treatment and register with the Peduli Lindungi mobile app (before the trip).
To be eligible for visa-free entry, you must have a valid passport issued by one of the more than 160 countries with exemption agreements.
Those planning to travel to Indonesia without a visa should be aware that the visa-free regime is intended for short-term travel only.
Visa-free citizens traveling to Indonesia in 2022 must present a valid passport to the Indonesian immigration authorities upon arrival at the border. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months. They must also have additional documents proving the trip, such as a return ticket.
If visitors from a visa-free country wish to stay in Indonesia for more than 30 days, they will need to apply for an appropriate
Indonesian visa.
The visa allows you to enter the country for 30 days, with the possibility of another 30-day extension, after which you must leave Indonesia. A one-time visa will require $ 35 dollars and a return ticket or a ticket to a third country + insurance with coverage of at least $ 25,000
Indonesian visa holders must provide a copy of their visa, as well as the same passport they used when applying. It is important that the information on the visa matches the passport.
Applicants for a visa upon arrival must arrive at the border with Indonesia with all the documents required to obtain an Indonesian VOA, as well as the payment of the fee. This is another reason why many travelers prefer to get a visa in advance.
Due to travel restrictions imposed by the Government of Indonesia, all visitors must additionally present:
- A negative PCR test result issued within 48 hours before departure;
- Completed electronic health alert / e-HAC;
- Declaration of readiness to comply with local quarantine requirements and to pay the costs that may be incurred during the necessary treatment at the local medical institution;

Please note that compliance with the requirements does not guarantee entry. Visitors apply for a visa at the appropriate border crossing point, and Indonesian immigration authorities decide whether they are eligible to enter.
A visa upon arrival allows its holder to stay in Indonesia for up to 30 days. However, it is possible to renew it. To extend the VOA, travelers must visit the Indonesian Migration Office (Kantor Imigrasi in Indonesian). Applicants may return to the office up to 3 times before the process is completed.
Requirements for visa extension upon arrival:

- Copy of the sponsor's identity card (agencies can be a sponsor for a fee)
- Extension fee payment
