Passports
All visitors to Indonesia must be in possession of passport valid for at least six months after the date of entry with the proof of onward passage, either return or through tickets.
Passports for the family members are issued by a passport office from their own country. While some government may allow children to follow on their mother's passports, it is better to have separate passports for every family member, just in case separate travel is required.
Tourist Visa
Tourist visas are only intended for tourists who are visiting Indonesia, NOT for expatriates intending to work and live for an extended period of time. Tourist visas will be needed by friends or family coming to visit you during your stay in Indonesia.
Visitors from countries with visa-on-arrival facility will have to go to a special counter to have their passports stamped with the on-arrival visa before going to the immigration clearance desk. The POA visa is NOT extendable or renewable. A visa issued on arrival can be extended only in extraordinary circumstances such as natural disasters, accident, or illness. Visa purchasing takes 15-30 minutes per applicant, depending on the number of persons applying. Payment counters, a bank counter, and a money changer have been set up to process payments. Visitors with the visa-free facility will be able to proceed directly to the immigration clearance counter after deplaning.
Citizens of other countries not on the visa on arrival or visa free lists will be required to apply for a visa overseas (in their home country) before entering Indonesia. Citizens of any country wishing to stay more than 30 days must also apply for an appropriate visa (cultural visit or business) at their nearest Indonesian Embassy or Consulate before traveling to Indonesia.
Business Visa
All persons coming to Indonesia for business purposes are required to obtain a business visa. A business visa does not allow a foreigner to work or be gainfully employed in Indonesia, but only to conduct business negotiations, short term work assignments, or training assignments.
Health and Customs
Customs allows a maximum of one litre of alcoholic beverage, and 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars or 100 grams of tobacco and a reasonable amount of parfume per adult.
Anyone who has recently travelled to Africa or South America is required to notify health authorities before entering Indonesia.
