Apply for the Indonesia visa

Apply for the Indonesia visa online

A visa is required to travel to Indonesia. The electronic visa, also known as Electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA), has been offered by the Indonesian Inmigration services since 2022. European travellers, including British citizens, can easily apply for this visa online. Once approved, applicants receive their visa by email.

How to apply

The Indonesia electronic visa application process takes place entirely online. There is no need to make an appointment at the embassy or consulate. You can open the application form with a simple click. Make sure you have the following documents at hand before starting your application:

  • The passports of all travellers that you want to include in the visa application
  • The main travel details (such as arrival date and accommodation address)
  • The ability to make an online payment

You will need to bear in mind the Indonesia visa requirements. You must meet all the requirements in order to apply for an electronic visa. If this is not the case, you will not be able to apply for the electronic visa. If you don't meet the requirements, but still need to travel to Indonesia, you will need to contact the Indonesian embassy and apply for a physical visa.

What documents do I need for my application?

Once you have filled in the application form and made the payment, you will need to submit some documents, such as a scan or photo of each traveller's passport, a clear passport photograph and a confirmation of the return flight. You don't need to submit a professional passport photograph, a selfie will do, provided that the traveller stands in front of a plain, light-coloured background and looks at the camera with a neutral expression.

You don't need to have all these documents at hand to submit your visa application. Once you have made the payment, your application will remain on hold. You will be able to access it again via the link you will receive by email. You will be able to send your documents later through this same link. Contact our customer support department if you have problems sending the documents. The visa specialists at e-Visa-Indonesia.co.uk are always happy to assist you with your visa application.

Visa delivery time

Once you have made the payment and submitted the necessary documents, your visa application will be processed. The visa specialists at e-Visa-Indonesia.co.uk will check first that your application is free of any common mistakes.

After this, your application will be sent to the Indonesian immigration service, responsible for the approval of visa applications. Only the immigration service has the authority to grant the visa.

The average delivery time for an Indonesian e-visa is 7 days. The processing time begins once all documents have been submitted correctly. Please note that this is an average processing time and not a maximum. In exceptional cases, the processing of a visa application may take longer than usual, for example due to technical issues or to random checks made by the immigration services.

Urgent visa application for Indonesia

If you are travelling soon and need a visa quickly, the application form offers you the option to select an ‘urgent’ delivery. This type of application is processed more quickly than a normal application. The average processing time for an urgent application is 24 hours. Please note that this delivery time is also not a maximum delivery time and therefore cannot be guaranteed. Urgent applications may also be subject to delays, due to random checks or technical problems.

Take the visa with you

As soon as your visa application is approved by the immigration service, you will receive an email and an SMS, and you will be able to download your visa. Please check carefully that all the data on your visa are correct. If your visa has any mistake in your name or on your passport details, it will not be valid and you will need to apply for a new one. If everything is correct, print your visa and take it with you during your trip.
