Indonesia Entry Requirements - Required Travel Documents for Travel to Indonesia
 The Indonesian government requires a passport valid for at least six months from the date of arrival in Indonesia to enter the country. Indonesian authorities regularly deny entry to all foreign nationals who arrive with less than six months validity on their passports. The U.S. Embassy cannot obtain entry permission for Americans in this situation. Travelers will be required to depart for Singapore or a nearby country to obtain a new U.S. passport.
American citizens are required to have a visa to enter Indonesia. U.S. citizens may apply for a visa on arrival at the airports in Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya, Medan, Padang, Pekanbaru, Manado, Biak, Ambon, Balikpapan, Pontianak, Kupang, Batam, and South Sumatra or obtain an Indonesian visa before departure. An onward/return ticket is required to apply for an entry visa at these Indonesian ports of entry. Visas are not available at the Banda Aceh airport. Visas on arrival are available at a limited number of seaports, including the Batam and Bintan ferry terminals, but are not available at any land border crossing. Travelers without a visa should check carefully when planning travel between Indonesia and other countries in the region to be sure their return to Indonesia is through a designated visa-on-arrival port or airport. Travelers will not be allowed to enter or return to Indonesia at a port of entry that does not have visa-on-arrival facilities.
Indonesian visas require an entire passport page. Travelers without a blank visa page in their passport may be denied entry. Additional visa pages may be added in the United States through a Passport Agency or at most U.S. embassies and consulates. Visitors may be granted a 3-day visa on arrival for a fee of $10, or a 30-day visa on arrival for a fee of $25. Recent experience has shown that some visitors are granted a 7-day visa on arrival for $10. All visas on arrival are non-extendable. Travelers must exit the country to be able to purchase another visa on arrival. Travelers are strongly advised to purchase the 30-day visa on arrival to avoid problems if travel plans change unexpectedly. As of March 2008, travelers who overstay visas on arrival are subject to a fine of U.S. $20 per day.
U.S. citizens may also apply for a visa at the Indonesian Embassy in Washington, DC, or at an Indonesian Consulate in the U.S. In some cases, U.S. citizens may also apply at Indonesian embassies and consulates in other countries. U.S. citizens traveling overseas who wish to apply for an Indonesian visa should inquire with the local embassy in the country where they are currently traveling. A visitor's visa for business purposes and social/cultural stays of longer duration require a letter of intent/sponsorship from the Indonesian employer and/or sponsor. For up-to-date information, travelers may contact the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia: 2020 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20036, phone: (202) 775-5200. Indonesian Consulates are located in Los Angeles (213) 383-5126, San Francisco (415) 474-9571, Chicago (312) 920-1880, New York (212) 879-0600, and Houston (713) 785-1691.
Indonesia strictly enforces its immigration/visa requirements. Several Westerners, including Americans, have been jailed for visa violations and/or overstays. Violators may also be subject to substantial fines and/or deportation from Indonesia for immigration and visa violations. Immigration officials have also detained people for conducting business, academic, or other non-tourist activities while on tourist visa status. Volunteer work with local or international NGOs is not permitted on tourist visa status. Penalties for such immigration/visa violations may include a prison sentence of up to 5 years and a fine of Rupiah 25 million. Travelers are encouraged to contact an Indonesian consular office to determine the appropriate visa category before traveling to Indonesia. Please consult the Criminal Penalties section below for further information.
All airline passengers, including children, are subject to a departure tax, which must be paid in cash (Rupiah). The international departure tax as of November 2008 is 100,000 Rupiah in Jakarta but may vary depending on what international airport is being used; domestic departure tax in Jakarta is 30,000 Rupiah but this tax also varies by airport.
