Indonesia Visa for Indian Citizens — Complete Guide 2026
Indian passport holders can enter Indonesia with eVOA for short trips to Bali and beyond. For longer stays, business, or investment, the B211A tourist visa, business visa, and Investor KITAS are available. This guide covers all visa options, documents required, and how Visa Nest helps Indian nationals.
Indian citizens can enter Indonesia with eVOA (30 days, extendable once to 60 days) — no sponsor needed. For stays up to 180 days, apply for B211A Social/Tourist Visa with an Indonesian sponsor. For business or investment, the Business Visa or Investor KITAS (via PT PMA) is recommended. Visa Nest specialises in assisting Indian nationals with all Indonesia visa types.

Common Mistakes for Indian Applicants
Travelling on eVOA for business purposes — eVOA is for tourism only. Business activities require a B211B visa.
Not extending eVOA before expiry — extension must be done before the eVOA expires, not after.
Assuming eVOA is valid for work — working on any tourist/eVOA visa is a violation of Indonesian immigration law.
Insufficient bank statement — show clear financial capacity for your intended stay duration.
Not verifying current immigration rules — Indonesia's visa regulations are updated periodically.
