The Indonesian visa policies are subject to frequent changes every now and then. Hence it is always advisable to consult with the Indonesian consulate in your country and get correct informations about the visa requirements for the present date. However there are some standard rules and regulations that have to be followed by all foreigners visiting Indonesia.

One of the first and foremost rules that have to be followed is that the passengers traveling to Indonesia musty carry a passport valid for at least six months from the date of entry into Indonesia. If the passport does not fulfill this requirement, passengers will be barred from entering the country. Israeli passports are not recognized by the Indonesian government and the Israeli nationals must get a travel affidavit issued by the Indonesian government.

The “Visa on Arrival” policy has been effective in Indonesia from 2005 and the nationals of 36 countries are privy to this facility. These countries include USA, UK, Australia, Spain, Italy, Hungary, India, and many others. Check in with the list to know if you belong to that category. The VoA facility is only available at certain airports and seaports of Indonesia. There are a number of countries whose citizens cannot obtain a visa on arrival but have to do it in the old fashioned way. Apply for an appropriate visa at the nearest Indonesian consulate or embassy before visiting Indonesia. At present the Indonesian government offers six distinct types visas to foreigners visiting Indonesia. They are: visitors’ visa, temporary resident visa, permanent resident visa, free visas on arrival, special dispensations for ships’ crews, visitor visas and visas issued on arrival for a fee.
