Nationals of countries not stated above can arrive in Indonesia without a visa for stays of up to 30 days. If you are from a "visa-free" nation, but you desire to stay in Indonesia for extended than 30 days, you also have to apply for an Indonesia visa.

Does Anyone Requires a Visa to Transit in Indonesia

If you are generally exempted from bearing an Indonesian Tourist Visa, then you also do not require an Indonesia airport transit visa. But if you are from one of the nations itemized above, then you do have to apply for an Indonesia visa if:

• You are going to  transit in Jakarta (CGK) and
• You have a finalized onward flight ticket for a flight to a third nation inside 24  hours, and
• You do not leave the global transit zone of the airport and
• You have the required documents (visa, passport, etc.) for the next journey's end

Or

• You are going to transit in an airport further than Jakarta (CGK) and
• You have an onward flight ticket inside 8 hours and
• You do not leave the global transit zone of the airport and
• You have the required papers (visa, passport, etc.) for the next destination point

Types of Indonesian Visas

Indonesian visa permits are classified into the ensuing kinds, based on the determination and length of your tour:

• Tourist Visa (Consulate and On Arrival)
• Multiple-entrance Visa
• Business Visa
• Limited Stay Visa: The Limited Stay Visa for Indonesia is a sort of "long-stay" permit. This is the kind of visa you require if you desire to work, study, join a household member, or retire in Indonesia. For instance:
  • Indonesia Work Visa
  • Indonesia Student Visa
  • Indonesia Family Visa
  • Indonesia Retirement Visa

In demand to apply for one of these visas, your guarantor or supporter in Indonesia (i.e. your company, school, or family associate) has to appeal for a Letter of Visa Authorization in the Directorate General of Immigration in Jakarta, Indonesia. When the Directorate General of Immigration allows your visa, they will inform the Indonesian Embassy or Consulate who will then provide you with the permit.

Methods of Applying

You can apply for an Indonesia visa in one of the following methods:

• At an Indonesian Mission overseas (Embassy or Consulate) earlier you travel
• On Arrival at the airport in Indonesia

Duration to Process an Indonesian Visa

Usually, it takes about 3 to 5 working days for the Indonesian Embassy/Consulate to manage your visa appeal. Still, the processing time rests on the specific ambassadorial mission where you are applying as well as the application process. If you appeal by mail, it will take lengthier for you to obtain the visa due to the mailing time. If you are from the resulting nations, the processing time will be more prolonged as the Embassy/Consulate has to request authorization from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jakarta:

• Afghanistan
• Cameroon
• Guinea
• Israel
• Liberia
• Niger
• Nigeria
• North Korea
• Pakistan
• Somalia
• Syria

Indonesia Visa Charges

The Indonesia Visa charges are:

• Single-entrance Tourist Visa: 50 US Dollar
• Multiple-entrance Tourist/Visit/Business Visa: 100 US Dollar
• Limited Stay Visa:
  • Six months: 50 US Dollar
  • One year: 90 US Dollar
  • Two years: 160 US Dollar
• Visa on Arrival: 35 US Dollar

The Procedure of Paying the Indonesia Visa Fee

There is not only one suitable method to pay the Indonesia visa charge. This will rest on which Embassy or Consulate you are appealing, and whether you are applying by mail or in person. Fortunately, the Indonesian Embassies/Consulates have directives about the payment process on their websites. Occasionally you have to buy a Money Order, and other times you can compensate through your Credit or Debit Card.

The Validity of an Indonesia Visa

The legitimacy of a Tourist Visa for Indonesia is 30 days and for a single entrance. This sort of visa can be extended for an extra 30 days before ending. Visas on Arrival are also legal for 30 days and can be extended. A multiple-entrance Indonesia visa is legitimate for 12  months. You cannot stay extended than 60 days on each entrance. Limited stay visas are delivered for six months, one year, or two years. If you are from one of the nations with visa exclusion, you can enter Indonesia without a visa and stay up to 30 days as well (same as with VOA or tourist visa), but you cannot apply for extra time.

Indonesia Visa Extension

You can appeal for an Indonesia visa to be extended prior to your existing permission ends at the Immigration Office in Indonesia. You have to compensate a charge, which will be similar to your original visa fee (i.e., 35 US Dollar for Visa on Arrival; 50 US Dollar for Embassy Tourist Visa). You can appeal for a visa extension up to four times, every time for 30 days. You cannot apply for an extension of your stay if you have arrived under Visa Exclusion (without a visa). If you stay lengthier than you are permitted, you will have to pay a charge for each day you have overstayed. The overstay fee is around 70 US Dollar per day.

You can reside in Indonesia deprived of a visa for up to 30 days. If you desire to visit in Indonesia for an extended period than 30 days, you have to obtain a visa.
