Travel to Indonesia

Are you a Greek national who is planning on traveling to Indonesia?

Please read carefully the following:

Before you travel
To enter Indonesia, your passport must have an ‘expiry date’ at least 6 months after the date of arrival and have at least two blank pages. Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to. You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.

Also you must complete your Arrival Card online before traveling. This is mandatory for all incoming passengers to Indonesia, it is free of charge, and can be done here https://allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id/. Please be aware that there are a plethora of fraudulent sites!

Visa requirements
You must have a visa to visit Indonesia. You can get a 30-day visa on arrival (VOA) for:

- tourism or visiting
- business or an official meeting
- procurement of goods
- official visits or government duties

The VOA costs 500,000 Indonesian rupiah, payable in cash or by card. It is valid for single entry only. You must meet passport validity requirements and have a return or onward ticket.

Most of the main airports and ports issue VOAs. You can also apply for a visa at least a week before you leave on the Indonesian immigration website https://evisa.imigrasi.go.id/

You will find options to apply for a multiple-entry visa or a 60-day visa.

Extending your visa or residence permit
The 30-day visa can be extended once, for another 30 days, at any immigration office within Indonesia. If you applied online, you can get the extension on the Indonesian immigration website. Make sure you extend your visa within the initial 30 days to avoid an overstay fine.  If you overstay your visa, officials will stop you at the airport and issue a fine of 1 million rupiah for each day you overstayed. If you do not pay, the authorities can detain you until the fine is paid. If your visa will expire during a period of hospitalisation or detention, contact Indonesian immigration before your visa expires to avoid any overstay fines.

Registering with the police
If you stay in private accommodation in Indonesia, you must register your presence with the local police at the nearest police station. You could be fined 5 million Indonesian rupiah if you do not register. If you’re staying in a hotel, you will be registered automatically.

Bali tourist levy
The Bali provincial government has introduced a tourist levy of 150.000 Indonesian rupiah (approximately €8) for all foreign tourists arriving in Bali. You can pay online or on arrival. See the Bali provincial government website for more details https://lovebali.baliprov.go.id/

Health related requirements
There are no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements for travellers entering Indonesia.  You must have a certificate to prove you’ve had a yellow fever vaccination if you’re coming from a country listed as a transmission risk. 
All international travellers must fill out an electronic self-declaration form called SATUSEHAT Health Pass. It is fairly straightforward process, but it is recommended that you complete this form prior to departure to avoid delays when arriving in Indonesia.

Departure tax
Airport tax is included in the cost of all domestic flights within Indonesia. For some international flights departing Indonesia, airport departure tax might not be included in the price of the ticket. Please check with your airline or travel agent before you travel.

Bon voyage!
