PASSPORTS AND OTHER DOCUMENTATION

Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of arrival or you may be denied admission.  If arriving on a tourist visa, you must also show proof of onward journey in the form of a return or through ticket.

VISAS

Non-extendable visa-free entry to Indonesia for 30 days is available to passport holders of Brunei, Chili, Hongkong, Macao, Malaysia, Morocco, Peru, The Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Passport holders of Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and the United States are entitled to either 3- or 30-day non-extendable tourist visas upon payment of US$10 or US$25, respectively, upon arrival.

Passport holders of all other countries and non-tourists of the aforementioned countries must obtain appropriate valid Indonesian visas at an Indonesian diplomatic mission prior to their arrival.  Such visas are generally issued for 1-2 months and are often extendable in Indonesia up to a maximum of 6 months.  A social visa, for example, can be extended for up to 6 months, but you must document your reason for being in Indonesia and have a letter from an Indonesian sponsor.  A business visa can also be extended up to 6 months and, similarly, requires a letter from an Indonesian-based company or organization stating that you are being invited to visit for some legitimate reason.
