Indonesia visa and entry requirements for US, UK, Canadian, Australian, NZ and Irish citizens

US, UK, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and Irish citizens do not need a visa for tourist visits to Indonesia of up to 30 days. You can enter visa‑free, but you cannot extend this stay. If you want to stay longer, you need a visa on arrival (VOA) or a tourist visa obtained before travel. Always confirm current rules with an official source before you fly.

For most short trips, the visa‑free entry is the simplest option. It allows a single stay of up to 30 days and is not extendable. If you think you might stay longer, the visa on arrival (VOA) is a better choice: it also gives 30 days but can be extended once for another 30 days. The VOA is available at major airports and seaports, and you pay the fee on arrival. Check the current fee and whether your port of entry offers it before you travel.

Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of entry into Indonesia. Carry at least two blank pages for stamps. You may be asked to show proof of onward travel and sufficient funds for your stay, though this is not always enforced. Have your accommodation details and return ticket ready at immigration.

Indonesia does not currently require an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) for US, UK, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand or Irish citizens for short tourist visits. You can simply arrive with a valid passport and use the visa‑free entry or apply for a VOA at the airport. If you are planning a longer stay or a different purpose of visit, check with the Indonesian immigration authority for the latest requirements.

Overstaying your visa‑free period is treated seriously and can result in fines, detention, or a ban on re‑entry. If you need more time, apply for a VOA before you enter, or extend your VOA once for another 30 days. Do not assume you can simply stay longer; plan your dates carefully and apply for any extension before your current visa expires.
