Common questions about KITAS and visas

Yes.
Holding a KITAS allows you to open an Indonesian bank account (private or business). This is one of the key benefits of having a legal temporary stay permit in Indonesia.

With a KITAS, you can open accounts at most major Indonesian banks. Requirements typically include:

  • your passport

  • your KITAS card or e-KITAS

  • your NPWP (tax number) — sometimes optional depending on the bank

  • local address in Indonesia

A local bank account makes it easier to manage payments, receive funds, and handle daily financial transactions while living in Indonesia.

Yes. You can purchase multiple visas in one order for multiple persons.

Simply add all visas, whether they are the same visa type or different types, to your shopping cart and proceed to checkout. This allows you to complete everything in one single payment.

Yes. If you don’t have all the required documents ready when you apply, that’s no problem. You can simply send the missing documents later via WhatsApp or email.

After placing your order, you will receive our contact details by email (please also check your spam folder).

Please note:
We can only process and submit your visa application once we have received all the required documents and your payment. Submitting everything as early as possible helps prevent delays.

No vaccinations are required to apply for a visa or to enter Indonesia. COVID-19 vaccination is no longer required since July 3rd, 2023.

However, some optional travel vaccinations are commonly recommended by international travel health authorities, depending on your itinerary, length of stay, and travel style. These include:

  • Hepatitis A

  • Tetanus (standard booster)

  • Polio booster

  • Typhoid (recommended for longer trips or rural areas)

  • Hepatitis B

  • Rabies (if spending time in rural areas or around animals)

  • Japanese Encephalitis (for extended stays in rural regions or rice-field areas)

No, you do not need to visit our office.

The entire visa application is handled online. We only need scans or clear photos of your required documents, which you can upload directly via our online application form. You can complete everything comfortably from home.

Yes. Completing the All Indonesia Arrival Card, which includes the customs declaration and health form, is mandatory for all travelers entering Indonesia.

The Arrival Card can be filled out at the earliest 3 days (72 hours) before your arrival. When booking through us, you can provide us with your information earlier and we will send you the Arrival Card approximately 2 days before your arrival.

If you haven’t completed it in advance, you can still fill it out at the airport, but you may experience longer waiting times. To ensure a smoother arrival, we recommend completing the form before your trip.

Yes. Every person traveling to Indonesia needs a visa — without exception. This includes childreninfants, and senior citizens.

If you are unsure which visa is right for you or your family, you can use the Visa Finder on our homepage. It shows you the correct visa type within just a few seconds.

The required passport validity depends on your visa type and your situation. You can find the exact requirement in the “Requirements” section of each visa type.

Standard Tourist Visas

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months on the date of your arrival in Indonesia. This 6-month validity is also required when applying for a visa extension.

Long-term visas (1 year or more)

For visas with a longer validity period, Immigration may require 18 months or more of passport validity.

Replacement or Temporary Travel Documents

If you enter Indonesia with a replacement travel document, you must have:

  • 12 months passport validity, and

  • a valid residence permit

at the time of entry.

Summary
  • 6 months → eVOA, C1, C6, … & extensions

  • 12 months → entry with replacement/temporary travel document

  • 18+ months → long-term visas (1 year+)

If your passport is close to expiring, it’s strongly recommended to renew it before applying.

Rejections are very rare.

In our experience, we have not had a single case where a visa application was rejected, as long as all requirements were met and the applicant provided accurate information.

When can a visa be rejected?

A rejection usually only occurs in exceptional cases, such as:

  • The applicant is listed on the Indonesian immigration blacklist

  • Previous violations of Indonesian immigration or criminal law

  • An outstanding international arrest warrant

  • Providing false information or forged documents

For standard applicants who meet the official visa requirements, the visa is normally approved without issues.

If you do not complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card (customs declaration), you may face:

  • Delays at Immigration and Customs

  • Fines (in cases of undeclared restricted items)

  • Confiscation of items that should have been declared

Accurate completion of the Arrival Card is essential for a smooth entry into Indonesia.

If you haven’t filled out the Arrival Card before your trip, you can still complete it upon arrival at the airport in Indonesia. However, queues can be long, so we strongly recommend filling it out before your departure.

No problem. You can send the missing documents later via WhatsApp or email.

Please note that we can only start processing your visa once we have received:

  1. All required documents, and

  2. Your payment

Until everything is complete, the application cannot be submitted to Immigration.
Sending your documents as soon as possible helps avoid delays.

If you overstay your visa in Indonesia, you must pay an overstay fine of 1,000,000 IDR per day per person (around 65 USD). The payment must be made in cash at the airport or Immigration office when you leave the country.

You should plan an additional 20–30 minutes at the airport for the overstay procedure.

Important notes
  • Short overstays (a few days) are usually handled quickly and result only in the standard fine.

  • Very long overstays may lead to additional questioning, delays, further administrative actions or deportation.

  • Paying the fine does not ban you from returning, as long as there are no other violations.

The best option is always to extend your visa before it expires to avoid unnecessary fees and delays.

You can submit your documents immediately after payment confirmation.

How it works:
  1. Place your order on our website and ensure payment confirmation.

  2. Right after checkout, you’ll automatically receive a digital application form.

  3. In this form, you can upload your required documents, passport scan, and personal details.

If you completed the Arrival Card yourself

Simply fill out the entire form again. The newest version will replace the old one.

If you booked the Arrival Card through us

You can inform us of any changes up to 4 days before your arrival, and we will update it for you.

It is essential that you present an Arrival Card with the correct information when entering Indonesia.

If your visa has already expired, you must expect to pay an overstay fine of 1,000,000 IDR per person per day.

The fine must be paid in cash at the airport or at the Immigration Office when you leave Indonesia. It’s important to plan a bit of extra time for the payment process.

Longer overstays can lead to more serious consequences, such as:

  • Complications with future visa applications

  • Deportation

  • Entry bans

What should you do now?
✔ 1. If your visa type can still be extended

Start the extension process immediately.
Whether an extension is still possible depends on your visa type and how long you have overstayed.

✔ 2. If an extension is not possible

Leave Indonesia as soon as possible to minimize the overstay fine and avoid further consequences.

Important:

The longer you remain in Indonesia without a valid visa, the higher the risk of:

  • increased fines

  • administrative issues

  • immigration investigations

If you are unsure whether your visa can still be extended, contact us, and we will assess your options.

When entering Indonesia, travellers are allowed to bring certain goods duty-free, up to the limits set by Indonesian Customs.

1. Personal goods

You may bring personal items with a total value of up to USD 500 per person without paying import duties.

Families travelling together can combine their allowance (e.g., USD 500 × number of family members).

2. Tobacco products

You may bring one of the following duty-free:

  • 200 cigarettes, or

  • 25 cigars, or

  • 100 grams of sliced tobacco

3. Alcohol

Each traveller may bring up to 1 liter of alcoholic beverages duty-free.

4. Important notes
  • If you exceed the duty-free allowances, you must declare the items and may have to pay import duties/taxes.

  • Customs rules may occasionally change — if your quantities are close to the limit, it’s safer to double-check the latest regulations.

Here are the current entry requirements for entering Indonesia (including Bali):


1. Passport (very important)

2. Visa

visa is required to enter Indonesia. Always make sure to get the correct visa for your purposes of visit!

For short trips, you can buy the Visa on Arrival directly at the airport.
However, we recommend applying for the e-Visa on Arrival (eVOA) in advance to save time and avoid long queues. If you stay more than 30 days, there are even better visa options like the C1 visa. For specific visit purposes, it’s best to check our visa finder or contact us.


3. Outbound (onward) ticket

When checking in for your flight to Indonesia, you may be asked to show proof of a return or onward ticket. If you cannot present one, you may be denied boarding or entry.

Indonesia distinguishes between prohibited items (not allowed at all) and restricted items (allowed only under specific conditions, limits, or with a declaration).

🚫 Prohibited items (not allowed under any circumstances)

  • Narcotics and illegal drugs

  • Firearms and air guns

  • Sharp weapons (unless declared for specific purposes)

  • Ammunition

  • Explosives or explosive materials

  • Pornographic materials

Bringing prohibited items can lead to confiscation, fines, detention, or criminal charges.

⚠️ Restricted items (allowed with declaration, limits, or permits)

These items may be brought into Indonesia, but only under certain rules:

1. Animals, fish, plants & biological products

Require permits from Indonesian authorities (e.g., quarantine, health certificates).

2. Cash amounts over IDR 100,000,000

Must be declared to Customs.

3. Exciseable goods (alcohol & tobacco)

Allowed only within duty-free limits.
Above limits → declaration + import duty.

4. Personal goods beyond exemption limits

Items exceeding the duty-free allowance must be declared and taxed.

5. Commercial goods

Require customs clearance and often import permits.

6. Re-imported or temporarily imported goods

May require a declaration, proof of ownership, or temporary import documentation.

If you are unsure whether your item is restricted, it is always safer to declare it.

Once your visa is approved, you have 90 days to enter Indonesia. This means you should not apply earlier than 90 days before your arrival date.
