Other countries
Visitors from Pakistan and some other countries are not included in this list. Other countries need to apply for a visa in advance of travelling to Indonesia. To apply for a visa please visit the nearest Indonesian Embassy.

This free visa is for 30 days only and cannot be extended. You can enter and exit Indonesia on a free visa through 29 airports and 88 harbours and 7 land crossings.
Find out which airports and harbours can process free visa arrivals and departures.
The purpose of increasing the lost of free visa countries was to boost the number of foreign visitors to Indonesia. This increase will then create new job opportunities.
According to Rizal the original extra 45 countries (added on 10 June 2015) had at that time already created a 15% growth in tourist arrivals.
These Indonesia free visa countries are chosen on a set of strict government criteria.
“Countries that are known to have issues with drugs, economic stability, and radicalism are not eligible” said Rizal.
Director General of Immigration Ronny Sompie said that they will add immigration counters at the airports specifically for visa-free visitors.
Video of press release;
The above was released in a meeting on Tuesday, 1 September 2015. This meeting was attended by the Director General of Immigration Ronny Sompie, the Minister of Tourism Arief Yahya, Major General Erfi Triassunu, Representatives of the Police and Representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
