Planning a trip to the sun-kissed beaches of Bali, the volcanic peaks of Lombok, or the bustling streets of Jakarta? Indonesia is an absolute dream destination, but before you pack your bags and grab your sunscreen, you’ll need to get your travel documents sorted.
To help you breeze through airport immigration, here is your friendly, ultimate guide to navigating Indonesia’s tourist visa and entry requirements in 2026.
🛂 The Tourist Visa: Your Ticket to Paradise
For most holidaymakers, the Visa on Arrival (VOA) is the easiest way to enter Indonesia. It gives you 30 days to explore the islands and can be extended once for an additional 30 days.
You have two convenient ways to get it:
- In-Person (At the Airport): You can simply buy your VOA when you land at major Indonesian international airports. Head to the VOA counter before immigration, pay the fee (500,000 IDR—roughly $35 USD, payable in cash or by card), and you're good to go.
- Online (Highly Recommended): Want to skip the airport queues entirely? You can apply for an Electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) before you even leave home. Just jump onto the official government portal: The Official eVisa website for Indonesia.
📝 The Essential Pre-Arrival Step: The "All Indonesia" Form
Gone are the days of juggling multiple paper slips or filling out three different digital forms on the plane. The Indonesian government has streamlined everything into one unified digital portal called the All Indonesia Arrival Card.
⚠️ Important: All visitors must submit this form online before arrival (ideally within 3 days/72 hours of your flight).
This handy "All Indonesia" form combines three essential declarations into one single form:
- Arrival Card (Immigration)
- Health Card (Formerly SATUSEHAT)
- Customs Card (Formerly e-CD)
Once you complete the form online, you will receive a handy QR code via email. Just save it on your phone or print it out to show the airport staff when you land. It’s completely free, fast, and saves you heaps of time!
🏛️ Passing Through Immigration: Jakarta vs. Lombok
Depending on where your flight lands, your immigration experience might look a little different:
- Landing in Jakarta (CGK): If you fly into the capital, you're in for a high-tech treat. Jakarta features modern e-gates that allow you to scan your passport and e-VOA to breeze right through immigration in seconds.
- Landing in Lombok (LOP): If you are flying directly into the gorgeous island of Lombok, keep in mind that Lombok does not have e-gates. You will go through a traditional, friendly face-to-face check with an immigration officer. Don't worry, just keep your passport, your VOA (or e-VOA), and your "All Indonesia" QR code ready!
