Visa on Arrival ; Changes in the visa rules for tourist visits.

There is more certainty about the new Indonesia Tourist visa rules, the visa on arrival, also from the official side. Original plans to revoke the visa free travel at October 1 will in effect Ferburary 1. Indonesia will revoke visa-free travel for most foreign visitors, despite fears that the move could further dent the country's beleaguered tourism industry. Indonesia will charge foreigners US$25 for a 30-day nonrenewable visa or US$10 for a 6 day visit upon arrival.

Citizens of 11 countries who offer visa-free travel to Indonesians will be exempt from the new rule; Brunei, Chile, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Macao, Morocco, Peru, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Turkey. Indonesia introduced visa-free travel in 1983 to attract more foreign tourists. But officials say it has been abused by foreigners who work illegally or engage in other illegal activities in Indonesia.

Tourist Visa, 30 days valid (from February 1st), non-extendable, one has to leave the country and return to get another visa / stamp in one's passport. A round-trip flight from Jakarta to Singapore costs around US$140, a round trip form Denpasar to Singapore about US$230. Presidential Decision No. 18 of 2003 dated 31 March 2003 states that for most countries the Tourist visa (short stay permit) now is valid only for 30 days, and now requires the payment of a fee. See above.

Citizens of 21 countries will be offerred the facility VISA ON ARRIVAL, they are : South Africa, Argentina, Denmark, The United Arab Emirates, Italy, Canada, Poland, South Korea, New Zealand, France, United States, Britain, Australia, Japan, France, Hungary, Norway, Swiss, Taiwan, Brazil and Finland. The procedure on the airport should not not take more then 7 minutes.

Update July 2005. The Government has decided to allow the nationals of 11 countries in Asia, Europe and the Middle East to obtain a visa-on-arrival (VOA) in an effort to attract more tourists to the country. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Russia, Egypt, Austria, Ireland, Qatar and Luxembourg are the additional countries granted the VOA facility. The Government is also in the process of granting a visa-on-arrival facility to the Netherlands and Sweden.

Citizens of countries not on the visa on arrival or visa free lists will be required to apply for a visa before entering Indonesia.

For people that need to stay longer in Indonesia, for whatever reason, like business, buying property, or visiting friends and relatives, Bali IDE can find the right visa, please ask information.

General All visitors must have a passport valid for at least six months after their arrival date in Indonesia. For special visa listed on our pages there are other rules. Immigration officials reserve the right to deny entry to any visitor who, in their opinion, is not properly dressed or groomed (long hair is okay), lacks the proper funds, or "may endanger the country's security, peace, and stability or the public health and morals." These unfortunate undesirables will receive a transit visa upon arrival that allows them to hang out at the airport until the first available flight out.
