Traveling to Indonesia (including Bali): Visa requirements for Tunisians
Do Tunisians need a visa to enter Indonesia?
Yes, Tunisians are required to have a visa for entry into Indonesia. Options include the electronic visa on arrival (e-VOA) or the Visa C1 (B211A). Both visas are tailored to different travel purposes, so confirm which one is best suited for your visit.
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.
