Official Information

Overview

Visa-free entry for 16 eligible nationalities for tourism and short-term visits to Indonesia for up to 30 days.

Indonesia's Visa Exemption (Index A1) allows citizens of 16 eligible countries—the 10 ASEAN members plus Colombia, Hong Kong, Macao, Suriname, Turkey, and Brazil—to enter for tourism, social visits, government missions, or transit without advance visa application. Entry occurs at designated immigration checkpoints and requires a valid passport (6+ months validity) and proof of onward travel.

Entry is completely free and processed instantly at immigration, but the stay is strictly limited to 30 days and non-extendable. Dependents may accompany eligible primary travelers. No employment or income-generating activity is permitted, and the exemption cannot be converted to any other visa category.

This visa is ideal for short-term tourists and travelers visiting friends or family from the 16 eligible nationalities who wish to experience Indonesia without advance paperwork.
