Visa requirements for Tajik citizens traveling to Bali (Indonesia)
Do Tajik citizens need a visa?
Yes, Tajiks are required to apply for a visa before entering Indonesia. The Visa C1 (B211A) is an excellent option for single-entry travel and can be applied for online.
On September 1, 2025, Indonesia introduced a mandatory digital arrival card All Indonesia for all foreign tourists. Initially, it will be valid at the three largest airports — Bali (Denpasar), Jakarta, and Surabaya. And from October 1, the requirement will extend to all international airports in the country, including Sumatra, Komodo, Makassar, and Manado.
The All Indonesia card combines several documents that previously had to be filled out separately: customs declaration (e-CD), SATUSEHAT medical form, as well as immigration and quarantine data. Now tourists will be able to complete everything online before their trip, which will speed up the control process.
The form must be completed on the website no earlier than 3 days before the date of entry. The declaration must include personal and contact details, flight number, and hotel name.
In addition, from October 1, 2025, a tourist tax of 150,000 Indonesian rupiah (approximately USD 14) will be introduced. It can be paid either online or upon arrival.
Details about Visa C1 (B211A):
- Valid for an initial stay of 60 days.
- Extendable twice, with a total maximum stay of up to 180 days.
- Suitable for activities such as tourism, cultural events, and visiting friends or family.
