New 5 Year Multiple Entry Visa to Facilitate Tourism in Indonesia 2024

LetsMoveIndonesia

The Directorate General of Immigration under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) has introduced a five-year multiple entry visa policy with indices D1 and D2, simplifying entry for foreigners visiting Indonesia for business and tourism.

Director General of Immigration, Silmy Karim, announced on Thursday (21/12/2023) in Jakarta that the D1 index is for tourism, while the D2 index is for business purposes. Both types of multiple entry visas, effective from December 20, 2023, grant a stay of up to 60 days per visit.

Exploring Indonesia’s New Multiple Entry Visa Policy 2023

As of December 20, 2023, the multiple entry visa policy has expanded to include all foreigners, catering to both business and tourism. This policy will be effective from January 1, 2024.

There are two types of multiple entry visas available:

Multiple Entry Visa D1: for tourism
Multiple Entry Visa D2: for business

Both visa types have a validity period of five years, allowing foreign nationals holding these visas to stay for 60 days upon each entry.

Requirements for Applying for Multiple Entry Visa:

The new visa registration will mainly require the following documents:

Valid passport with a minimum of 18 months validity
Recent coloured photograph
Proof of visa payment
Guarantee letter from a company or institution in Indonesia
Other supporting documents as per the visit’s purpose

The application process for multiple entry visas can be completed online through the official website visa-online.imigrasi.go.id or through Indonesian representatives abroad.

Reviving Foreign Visits to Indonesia through Multiple Entry Business Visa

The multiple entry visa policy of 2022, issued by the Directorate General of Immigration of the Republic of Indonesia on November 22, 2022, allows foreigners to enter Indonesia multiple times within one year without reapplying for a visa.

Initially trialled in the Riau Islands (Kepri) on November 28, 2022, this policy was initially only available to Singaporean citizens and permanent residents during the trial period.

In his statement, this Multiple Entry Visa offers convenience for high-mobility foreigners, with an easy online application process at evisa.imigrasi.go.id and payment options through credit cards.

With the implementation of online visa applications in January 2023, the process has become more accessible, eliminating the need for applicants to visit Indonesian representative offices abroad. This ease is reflected in the gradual recovery of foreign citizens visiting Indonesia.

The Directorate General of Immigration aims to facilitate foreigners in applying for Indonesian visas online, aligning with President Joko Widodo’s directive to enhance services through digitization.

This new visa policy is expected to attract more high-quality foreign visitors to Indonesia, aligning with the practices of other countries such as Australia and Europe, which mandate visas for entry by foreign citizens.

Multiple Entry Visa vs Single Entry Visa, which one is better for my Indonesia travel in 2024?

Choosing visas for your visit to Indonesia in 2023-2024 depends on several factors, including:

Your planned travel duration:

Single entry: Valid for a maximum stay of 60 days or 180 days, depending on the type you choose. Suitable if you’re only planning one trip to Indonesia during this period.
Multiple entry: Valid for a maximum period of 1 year with a maximum stay of 60 days per visit. Ideal if you plan multiple trips to Indonesia within the validity period.

Your travel purpose:

Single entry: Sufficient for short tourist visits, attending events, or visiting family/friends.
Multiple entry: More convenient for business trips, frequent visits for medical reasons, or extended stays for leisure.

Cost and processing time:

Single entry: Generally cheaper and faster to process than a multiple trip visa.
Multiple entry: More expensive and may require additional documentation and longer processing times.

Here’s a table summarizing the key differences:

If you only plan one trip to Indonesia during this period and your stay will be less than 180 days, a single-entry visa is the most cost-effective option.
If you plan multiple trips to Indonesia within a year or require longer stays, a multiple-entry visa would be more convenient.
Consider the cost and processing time difference when making your decision.

Indonesia Rolls Out New Five-Year Multiple Entry Visa Option

The move was made in a bid to spur more tourism and give travellers additional flexibility – but it’s expensive.

Indonesia has started offering a five-year visa policy which allows multiple entries with maximum stays of up to 60 days per visit, as Southeast Asia’s largest economy seeks to attract more visitors. The new policy, which took effect from December 20, offers visa holders multiple entries as part of the government’s efforts to boost the economy, said immigration chief Silmy Karim as cited by Antara news agency. The visa is valid for general tourism, among other purposes.

Foreigners now can apply online and pay with a credit card. The official site is evisa.imigrasi.go.id . (Malaysian nationals, of course, need not bother, as they are already afforded visa-free entry under the provisions of ASEAN membership.)

A regular tourist visa for Indonesia is valid for 30 days and one entry and visitors can extend it for another 30 days before it expires. The new visa option boosts individual stays to 60 days, and grants multiple entries during the visa period, which is offered in one-year, two-year, and five-year options.

According to the Indonesian immigration website, the five-year visa costs Rp. 15 million (about RM4,500), so it’s certainly not cheap. A similar visa valid for two years costs Rp. 6 million (about RM1,800), and a one-year multiple-entry visa is Rp. 3 million (about RM900).

The Indonesian immigration website also lists a requirement for “proof of living expenses” of at least US$2,000 (RM9,220) for visits to the country. It is not clear if this must be shown for each stay or just once at the time of application. (We suspect it is the latter.)

Worth noting is that a single-entry visa for Indonesia is currently priced at Rp. 500,000, or roughly RM150, so in order for the multiple-entry visas to offer any value to visitors – at least from a cost perspective – those travelling on them would need to visit Indonesia at least six times per year, every year.

The sheer cost of these multiple-entry visas will likely be off-putting to the average tourist, but time will tell. It could be that such a visa would have more appeal to a highly mobile digital nomad. Holders of this visa are prohibited from engaging in any employment relationship with an individual or company in Indonesia, but not prohibited from working remotely for a foreign-based company (or presumably for oneself).

Indonesia’s neighbours, such as Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore, have also been offering various visa incentives to attract international visitors, especially from emerging markets like China and India.

Indonesia for several years had waived visa fees, granting visa-free entry to nationals of a whopping 169 countries. As of June 2023, however, they cancelled that waiver for all but 10 ASEAN countries (Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Laos, Brunei, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam).

At the time of its announcement, it was said to be a “temporary” suspension, but the introduction of these long-term paid visa options now suggests that the visa waiver suspension might just be a bit more permanent.

Indonesia stated that it suspended its visa-free visits policy for 159 countries on the concerns of “public order disruptions and the potential transmission of diseases.” The order to halt the visa-free visits policy was issued in June by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.

Some observers have suggested that if tourism numbers suffer and the new five-year visas are not enthusiastically embraced, Indonesia could well revisit its visa policy once again.

Indonesia Visa for Tourists in 2024: A Comprehensive Guide

Updated: January 16, 2024

Indonesia has a fairly complicated visa policy due to the number of different visas available to tourists. Furthermore, the rules changed after the pandemic began which complicates finding reliable information online.

Between the outdated information, the government’s confusing rules, and the recent introduction of a glitchy online visa portal, making sense of Indonesia visa requirements is troublesome. Luckily, you’ve come to the right place!

In this article, you will find everything you need to know about:

Indonesia’s visa policy and requirements
Eligibility for visa on arrival
The difference between the various tourist visas and which one is right for you
How to apply online, on arrival, or at an embassy
Which visas are extendable and how
The prices of different visas

Visa policy.

Only 10 countries are visa-exempt for Indonesia – all ASEAN states plus Timor Leste.

These 10 plus 87 additional countries are eligible to apply for a Visa on Arrival (VOA) or Electronic Visa on Arrival (eVOA). These two types of visas (also branded B213) are equivalent and almost identical in their use and specifications. Use of VOA or eVOA is only possible at certain points of entry. They are valid for 30 days, extendable once.

All ordinary passport holders except for a select few countries, are eligible for the standard single-entry visitor visa (also called B211A) under certain conditions outlined in detail below. It is valid for 60 days and is extendable twice. This is sometimes referred to as the Indonesia digital nomad visa .

The visas so far mentioned are all single entry. Multiple-entry visas exist but are not intended for use by tourists.

Visa Requirements

Each visa has its own set of requirements outlined in its respective section. Nonetheless, there are a few common requirements for all types of visas and as well as visa exemption:

Have at least 6 months validity remaining on your passport
Have an onward or return ticket
Enter through a designated port. These may vary from visa to visa

Your return ticket may or may not be inspected. It’s good to be prepared even if your plans are flexible. Book an onward ticket before you travel for peace of mind.

All COVID restrictions were dropped in June 2023. A vaccination certificate is no longer necessary to enter Indonesia.

Indonesia has dozens of visa types. However, for tourism purposes, there are three main ones: visa or arrival (including one obtained online), and single-entry visitor visa. Some nationalities can enter visa-free.

Check out the table below for the main characteristics of these visas:

Visa Exemption

Indonesia changed its immigration law in 2015 to give many countries a visa exemption. This was reverted at the beginning of the pandemic. The only countries to regain visa-free access to Indonesia in 2022 were its ASEAN partners and Timor-Leste.

The visa exemption is not extendable and not transformable into any other type of visa. This is the reason why some may still obtain an extendable visa for a longer trip.

Eligibility

Nationals of these 10 countries are visa-exempt for up to 30 days:

Philippines
Timor Leste

Designated ports of entry

There are 16 airports, 95 seaports, and 11 overland borders that allow visa-free entry. Check the updated list on the official Indonesian Immigration website.

Visa on Arrival (VOA/B213)

Nowadays, most travelers to Indonesia obtain a visa on arrival. It is the easiest and the cheapest option for most short-term tourists.

The visa on arrival is valid for 30 days. The day when you land is considered day 1 and you must leave on or before day 30 (this date is usually stamped or manually written on your passport).

The visa costs 500.000 IDR which is around 35$. It’s payable on arrival in Indonesian Rupiah or most other popular foreign currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, etc), albeit at an unfavorable rate.

Extension

The visa is extendable once for an additional 30 days.

This must be done in person at the nearest Kantor Imigrasi (immigration office). If done by yourself, it takes 3 visits to the immigration office.

Various agents online and offline offer to facilitate the extension for a fee. If you decide to go this route, you will only need to visit an immigration office once.

Eligibility

Passport holders from 97 countries can obtain a visa on arrival (VOA). These are:

Bosnia and Herzegovina
Liechtenstein
Netherlands
New Zealand
Papua New Guinea
Saudi Arabia
South Africa
South Korea
Switzerland
Timor-Leste
United Arab Emirates
United Kingdom
United States

Designated Ports of Entry and Additional Requirements

There are 15 airports, 91 seaports, and 12 overland borders that allow visa-free entry. Check the official list here .

Strictly speaking, there’s a requirement to be “financially sufficient” during your stay, but in practice, nobody ever asks for such proof.

Procedure at the Border

When you arrive at the border, look for the designated Visa on Arrival desks. On busier airports like Bali’s Denpasar (DPS) or Jakarta’s Soekarno Hatta (CGK), there are often queues from 5 minutes up to an hour.

When it’s your turn, give your passport and pay. If you pay in foreign currency, they will do the exchange for you on the spot. The rate is not good.

Then proceed to an immigration desk. Piece of cake, apart from the possible waiting.

Electronic Visa on Arrival (eVOA/B213)

The electronic visa on arrival is a bit of a misnomer. You apply for it online before your trip, then on arrival present the authorization document and receive a stamp in your passport.

It is a relatively new option, first introduced in November 2022. It’s almost identical to the regular VOA – it is the same cost, the same duration, and the same countries are eligible.

The two main ways in which it’s different are the way you get it and the way you extend it.

Obtaining an eVOA online

The only website where you should apply for the e-visa is the Molina Imigrasi webpage of the Indonesian government. Do not use any other websites – they will charge you extra at best and turn out to be scams at worst.

Although you can apply for the eVOA as a guest, I strongly advise you to create an account first. This will save you a big headache if you later decide to extend it.

Applying is straightforward and similar to other countries’ online visa portals. A few things to look out for:

Make sure your passport picture is clean, has no glare and the file is under 250 kb, otherwise it will get rejected.
Pick the 30-day visa on arrival option, code B213.
The address you put doesn’t really matter, just use the first hotel you will stay at. Only write the postcode and the rest should populate automatically.
Pay within 2 hours of submitting your application, otherwise, it becomes void.
Save the PDF file on your phone to show to immigration on arrival.

I recommend following this detailed Indonesia eVOA article as a guide to apply for your eVOA.

Extending eVOA online

The reason why you should choose the eVOA over the VOA is that it’s extendable online in less than 5 minutes ! No more trips to the immigration office or paying an agent extra to do it for you!

To do that, log back to the Molina website . That’s why it was important to create an account! If you didn’t, scan the QR code at the bottom of the PDF file and proceed from there.

Once on the welcome screen, click EXTEND, follow the prompts, pay, and you’re done!

Double-check the date of expiry of the extension. You must leave on or before that date.

At the border, just show the PDF of the extension confirmation – the officer will check it in the system and stamp you out.

Single-Entry Visitor Visa (B211A)

The single-entry visitor visa, or B211A is the most popular among long-term tourists and digital nomads. It’s initially valid for 60 days and extendable twice for a maximum stay of 180 days.

It is also the only short-term tourist visa option for countries that are not eligible for the visa on arrival. The B211A is open to all nationalities, EXCEPT FOR:

Afghanistan
North Korea

These countries need a special Calling Visa.

It is possible to convert the B211A to an ITAS (Limited Stay Permit) within Indonesia. This is viable for long-term residents only.

Obtaining the B211A online

Since July 2023, the Single Entry visa is no longer obtainable onshore.

This means that you must get this visa while outside of the country (offshore).

The best way to obtain a single-entry visitor visa is through the Molina Imigrasi website . There, the visa is coded as “211A” with the “B” missing. This is because it used to be non-extendable. This changed in September 2023. Now 211A and B211A are identical and both extendable.

Another government website is Online Visa Approval . However, it’s intended for use by sponsors and companies bringing foreigners to Indonesia, not individuals. It is best (and cheaper!) to use the Molina website.

The application process is similar to the one for the eVOA. Just pick “Tourism single-entry visitor visa 60 days” from the dropdown menu when prompted.

The required documents you must submit are:

Passport valid for at least 6 months
A recent color photograph
Proof of having at least US$ 2,000 or equivalent. This can be a bank account statement.

The visa costs 1.500.000 IDR (~105$) payable immediately after submission.

Obtaining the B211A from an agent

Any agent in Indonesia, especially in Bali can apply for a B211A visa on your behalf. If you apply via an agent, the documentation needed is minimal. That’s because the agent uses their financial proofs instead of yours.

Agents charge about 2,500,000-3,000,000 IDR for applying B211A visa on your behalf. They usually need a picture of your passport ID page and a digital passport-size photo.

In 2022, I used Indonesian Gate to obtain my B211A visa. It’s owned and managed by a local and a westerner. They were recommended by many on the Bali expat Facebook groups.

Obtaining the B211A at an embassy

While the visa is the same, obtaining it at an Indonesian embassy abroad may be subject to different requirements than the one online. It is best to check with the embassy in your country for precise and up-to-date information. Requirements may also be different at different embassies!

The most common additional requirement is a sponsor letter from a registered tourist agency or hotel.

Extending the B211A visa

The B211A is extendable twice for 60 days each. An extension costs the same as the visa itself – 1.500.000 IDR (~105$).

The single-entry B211A visa is NOT extendable online!

This may change in the future as more options are added to the Molina website. This is however a personal speculation, so don’t rely on it.

Unfortunately, extensions are not an easy task. They are not quick either. Start the process at least 10 days before the expiry date of the initial visa.

As long as you’ve initiated the extension process, you will not be fined if your original visa expires.

Extend using an agency

Many go to Indonesia and don’t want to bother with administration, documents, and mundane trips to immigration. Understandable. If that’s the case, just pay someone to do it for you!

I recommend Indonesian Gate but you can also look online or ask the community in Bali and you will quickly find many options.

You will still need to make 1 trip to immigration to have your biometrics taken.

Usually, the procedure goes like this:

You contact the agency and give them your passport. They bring it to immigration to start the process;
A few days later they call you to go to the immigration office for biometrics;
Another few days later they collect your passport and bring it back to you.

Extend it yourself

If you want to save some money, do the extension yourself.

In total, you will have to make 3 trips to immigration:

Bring your passport and fill in an extension application form;
Wait for a call and go back to do biometrics;
A few days later go back to collect your passport with the visa extension.

The whole process takes 7-10 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do i need a vaccination certificate to visit indonesia.

No! Since 9 June 2023, no vaccination requirements are in place.

What happens if I overstay my visa?

There is a fine of 1.000.000 IDR (~65$) per day of overstay. It is payable at the border in cash. Unless you’ve overstayed a huge amount of days (30+), a fine is probably all you’ll get – no black stamps, no bans. Don’t risk it – leave on time.

Can I travel inside Indonesia without my passport?

While waiting for an extension, your passport will be at immigration. Don’t let this stop you from exploring Indonesia!

You can travel to other provinces and take domestic flights without your passport. Just take a clear picture of your passport and the visa stamp. If using an agency for the extension, they will also provide a confirmation letter.

Can I travel outside Indonesia and come back on the same visa if I didn’t use the maximum number of days?

No. All tourist visas are single-entry. Leaving Indonesia voids the visa regardless of the visit duration.

Can I enter Indonesia a second time on a new visa?

Yes, you can. That’s called “doing a visa run”.

A visa run means leaving the country and reentering on a new visa to reset the allowed stay. Many visitors to Bali and Indonesia in general do it all the time. The most popular destinations for a visa run are Malaysia and Singapore.

Can I do a same-day visa run?

There are no official rules stating the minimum necessary time outside of Indonesia before you can reenter.

Nevertheless, immigration (both Indonesian and foreign) generally frown upon same-day return. I strongly advise that you spend at least 1 day, preferably 3, outside of the country to avoid suspicion.

What is the best Indonesian visa for me?

Let’s assume you’re eligible for all the visas listed in this article. This is the quick answer:

If you’re going for fewer than 30 days – get the VOA at the airport
If you’re going for 30-60 days – get the eVOA and extend it online
If you’re going for more than 60 days – get the single-entry B211 visa and extend onshore

Indonesia Relaunches Multiple Entry Visa Service

Indonesia’s Directorate General of Immigration officially relaunched the multiple entry visa service on November 28, 2022. The service was suspended because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The visa holder is able to stay in Indonesia for a maximum of 60 days for each arrival within one year, without the need to apply for a new visa. However, holders of this visa can only enter Indonesia through the Riau Islands Province , from there they can visit other areas of Indonesia.

Further, holders of the multiple entry visa can undertake the following activities in Indonesia:

Official government visits;
Pre-investment planning/research;
Visiting relatives; and
Business travelers.

What are the requirements to obtain an Indonesian multiple-entry visa?

The application requirements for the business visa are as follows:

A passport valid for at least 18 months;
A letter of invitation from the Indonesian-based sponsor mentioning the purpose of the applicant’s visit, and length of stay. The Indonesian sponsor will also need to make an online application to the immigration office in Jakarta on behalf of the applicant;
A business cover letter from the applicant’s own company;
One passport-sized photograph (white background);
A copy of the applicant’s round-trip, electronic airline ticket;
Pay the 3 million rupiah (US$193) fee;
A bank statement proving the applicant has at least US$2,000 to support their cost of living while in Indonesia;
Proof of the applicant having been fully vaccinated against COVID-19; and
Proof of ownership of health insurance.

The process usually takes five working days by which the immigration office will issue a visa approval letter. This will then be sent to the applicants’ nearest Indonesian Embassy, which will issue the visa.

Indonesia Launches 5-Year Multi-Entry Tourist Visa Ideal For Bali Lovers

Posted on Published: December 22, 2023

Facebook 153

Bali lovers have just been awarded a huge win from Indonesia’s Directorate General of Immigration. Indonesia’s Ministry of Immigration has announced the launch of a 5-year multiple-entry visa for tourism and business activities.

Tourists Stand at Temple Gates in Bali.jpg

The huge move comes as part of Director General of Immigration, Silmy Karim, is on a mission to modernize the Indonesian immigration system for citizens and foreigners.

He wants to create a world-class immigration service that is affordable, efficient, and works to the benefit of all who use it.

The new D1 Visa is part of the Tourism, Family Visit, and Transit visa category. The visa will also allow successful applicants to visit Indonesia for up to 60 days at a time over the course of five years.

Information supplied by the Department of Immigration has not outlined how closely the 60-day periods can be used back to back.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi (@ditjen_imigrasi)

Other multiple-entry visas require holders to leave the country for a minimum of 24 hours and then return.

Though some people have cut this even shorter and taken the last flight of the day out of the country, staying overnight in Singapore or Kuala Lumpur and coming back on an early morning flight the following day.

However, this is not a visa designed for foreigners to live in Indonesia essentially; the vast majority of visa holders won’t be using the 60-day periods back to back.

The visa costs IDR 15,000,000 and must be paid online to the Department of Immigration in Indonesian Rupiah at the point of application.

With this visa holders can attend meetings, incentives, conventions, and exhibitions as participants. Alternatively, holders can conduct activities related to tourism and visit friends and family in Indonesia.

Visa holders must comply with Indonesian and provincial laws and regulations, respect local customs, culture, and wisdom, and have sufficient living expenses while in Indonesia.

Visa holders are not permitted to conduct income-generating work or business in Indonesia, though this is a viable option for digital nomads whose income is generated online and from activities conducted online or outside Indonesia.

The Department of Immigration says D1 visa holders have stated: “Staying in Indonesia over the period of your stay permit, engaging in prohibited activities, not complying with visa conditions, and/or not complying with Indonesian laws may result in you paying fines, being deported, and/or other legal charges.”

They add, “You are prohibited from selling goods or services” and “you are prohibited from working in an employment relationship with an individual or corporation in Indonesia.”

Key details to note before applying for the D1 visa are that the applicant must apply on a passport that is valid for at least 6 months, supply proof of living expenses of at least USD 2,000 or equivalent, and provide a recent color photograph and additional documents.

Tourists-hands-passports-over-immigration-counter-at-airport

Additional documents that are required are either “Information, invitations, or correspondence from government agencies or private institutions that explain the relationship with the applicant.”

Alternatively, applications can provide a “Statement letter from the spouse or parents explaining the family relationship with the applicant and the activities to be carried out in Indonesia, attached with a family card / similar document.”

Like many tourist visas in other countries around the world, this requirement essentially calls for a letter of accountability or invitation.

For Bali lovers who already have relationships with people in Indonesia, they can ask friends and family members to write such a statement letter.

For those requiring a visa for businesses the letter can easily be produced by the organization sending them to Indonesia, for tourists who frequently visit Bali but don’t have those relationships there will be visa agents who will start advertising application support for the D1 visa.

Tourists are highly recommended to only work with visa agents who come with personal recommendations and to be on high alert for fraudulent and scam visa agent services, especially online.

With this in mind, there is only one official Indonesian Immigration website for visa applications, and that is https://molina.imigrasi.go.id/ – this is the same website where travelers can apply for the visa on Arrival, Second Home Visa and all other temporary stay visa categories.

OK it's crazy. But to all the raspberry blowers you're not forced to buy it.

Russians may afford the ridiculous 5 year multiple entry visa fee. Other nationalities may have to break the bank to pay the high fees. A sad reality!!! USD 970 visa fee and is this for real or a typo error currency exchange??

Best Time To Go To Indonesia

Indonesia is a big country, and different places have different seasons, particularly when it comes to diving and surfing.

That said, most places are hot , dryish, and crowded July-August, hot, wet, and empty in January-February, and somewhere in between for the rest of the year.

It can be hard to find alcohol or restaurants open during the day in more conservative Muslim areas during Ramadan.

Top Regions And Cities In Indonesia

Known as the Island of the Gods , Bali offers Hindu temples, hikes through rice fields, yoga retreats, and party-hearty beach clubs, plus diving, art classes, and world-class hotels, spas, and restaurants – all packed into an island about the size of Trinidad.

It’s Indonesia’s signature tourist destination , so over-tourism is an issue.

But much of north, east, and central Bali still offers the rice terrace landscapes, volcano views, and the resilient culture that first drew travelers to the island.

About the size of Greece but home to roughly the population of Japan, Java’s rich volcanic soils teem with life (and people!). This is Indonesia’s economic motor and dominant culture , the center of empires for centuries.

It’s home to gridlocked, water-logged Jakarta, the nation’s administrative capital (for now), and Yogyakarta, a regal university city that does battle with neighboring Surakarta (also known as Solo) for the status of Java’s cultural capital.

From smoldering Mount Bromo to the Unesco-listed temples of Borobudur and Prambanan and the historic tea plantations around Bandung, it’s easy to spend weeks, if not months, exploring – some of it by train.

Flores And Komodo

Famous for Komodo dragons, Earth’s most giant lizard, Unesco-listed Komodo National Park offers glorious diving and snorkeling and stunning island views: liveaboards are the way to go.

To protect the fragile reef and many tiny islands, authorities hiked the entrance fee to a hefty IDR 3,073,380 per day in August 2022, only to repeal it sharply after tourism workers protested; check the current position before you visit.

The Komodo archipelago’s parent island, Flores, offers tribal cultures, mountain valleys, and highlights such as Wae Rebo, a postcard-perfect highland village, and Kelimutu, a volcano with multi-colored crater lakes.

Lombok’s Gili Islands, a triptych of low-lying sand islets a short hop across the water from Bali, are a law unto themselves, as there’s no permanent police presence.

Party-seeking youngsters flock to Gili Trawangan and older reprobates to Gili Air; Gili Meno is quieter, although sound does carry.

Yet there’s more to Lombok than these and other gilis (Gili means island): the Rinjani volcano offers a challenging but rewarding multi-day hike, and the south coast unfurls rugged promontories and sweeping golden beaches.

In addition, the cultural attractions run from an ancient palm-thatch mosque to a fusion of Hindu-Muslim temples.

About the size of Spain but with much less infrastructure, Sumatra is known for its rainforest . Despite surging deforestation – during a bad season, the peat fire haze can cause diplomatic incidents – it still has tonnes to offer.

Gunung Leuser National Park is probably the world’s best place to see orangutans in the wild. Advanced surfers are drawn to the remote Mentawai Islands for exceptional reef breaks.

The cool highlands around Lake Toba, the world’s largest crater lake, house fascinating cultural relics. And the Minangkabau region gave Indonesia its signature – spicy, aromatic – Padang cuisine .

Best Things To Do In Indonesia

Try Scuba Diving

Most of central and east Indonesia falls within the Coral Triangle, a global hotspot for marine biodiversity. While the currents that feed reef ecosystems and draw sharks and rays can be challenging, Indonesia offers brilliant diving in warm and generally clear waters.

Komodo, Raja Ampat, and Alor draw experienced divers, generally on liveaboard boats; Bali and the Gilis are popular places to learn, while Sulawesi’s Lembeh Strait is known for weird and wonderful critters.

Warm waters and epic waves make Indonesia a lure for surfers. Far-flung islands like Rote, in the far south, and the Mentawais, to the west, boast long, steady, big waves that draw experienced surfers.

Bali offers year-round surfing – on the west coast in the dry season (roughly April-October) and the east coast during the wet season (roughly November-March) – at levels from child-friendly to competition grade.

Experience A Religious Ceremony

With six official religions, most of them available in a range of distinctively Indonesian flavors, the country’s rituals are fascinating.

Buddhists come from around the globe to celebrate Waisak at Borobudur; in Yogyakarta, the Prophet’s birthday celebrations see epic parades; at Balinese New Year (Nyepi), marching monsters give way to a strictly enforced day of silence.

Dates generally follow non-Gregorian calendars.

Visiting Indonesia

If you’re considering visiting Indonesia, chances are you do not need an Indonesia Visa. That’s because the Indonesian visa policy is very lenient . For stays of up to 30 days , only nationals from a few countries have to apply for a visa.

Additionally, several others can apply for an Indonesian Visa on Arrival. Indonesia is part of the ASEAN agreement, meaning there is visa-free travel between Indonesia and 9 other member countries.

Do You Need A Visa To Transit In Indonesia?

You do not need an Indonesian airport transit visa if you are generally exempt from holding an Indonesian Tourist Visa.

You do have to apply for an Indonesia visa unless:

You will transit in Jakarta (CGK) and
You have a confirmed onward flight ticket for a flight to a third country within 24 hours , and
You do not leave the international transit area of the airport and
You have the necessary documents (visa, passport, etc.) for the next destination

Indonesia Introduces 5-Year Multiple Entry Visas to Boost Tourism

In a significant development, Indonesia has recently unveiled a noteworthy change in its visa policy, aiming to give a substantial boost to its tourism sector. This strategic initiative involves the introduction of a five-year visa policy, allowing visitors to stay for a maximum of 60 days.

Indonesia, as the largest economy in Southeast Asia, strategically positions itself to become more enticing to global travelers, according to the latest reports. Commencing from December 20, this visa policy marks a departure from the conventional 30-day single-entry tourist visas. The extended duration and allowance for multiple entry visas are pivotal components of the government’s comprehensive efforts to spur economic growth, as emphasized by Immigration Chief Silmy Karim.

A notable feature of this new policy is the facilitation of online applications, coupled with the added convenience of credit card payments, streamlining the entry process for foreigners.

Indonesia Introduces 5-Year Multiple Entry Visas to Boost Tourism

Indonesia’s decision to extend visa durations aligns with its aspiration to compete more effectively with neighboring tourist destinations. The traditional 30-day tourist visa, extendable by an additional 30 days, often posed limitations for those seeking more prolonged stays or multiple entries. Consequently, this policy not only accommodates their preferences but also enhances travel convenience, potentially making Indonesia a more attractive option for international tourists.

Reports indicate that, as of December 8, the country had already welcomed nearly 10 million foreign tourists, surpassing the initial target of 8.5 million for the year. Despite this achievement, Indonesia trails behind neighboring nations such as Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam in overall tourist arrivals.

Addressing this gap, Indonesia has set an ambitious target of attracting 40 million foreign tourists by 2025. In the competitive landscape of global tourism, neighboring countries like Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore are actively revising their visa policies to attract visitors, particularly from emerging markets like China and India. By offering more flexibility and easing entry requirements, these nations position themselves as desirable destinations for international travelers.

Therefore, Indonesia’s recent visa policy represents a bold step towards fostering economic growth through tourism. By extending visa durations and facilitating online applications, the country aims to position itself as a more accessible and attractive destination on the global tourism map.
