Below is a a copy of the new Indonesian Law on visa free countries signed by President Jokowi on 2 March 2016.
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 is a link to Indonesian Embassy in Islamabad for Pakistan visitors.
You can also get the help from a visa agent to apply for a visa. Please contact our friends at Visa For Bali.
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.

Dear Sir Pak Razil,
I am from Pakistan working in Singapore, I have many business VISAs for Indonesia, and have done a lot of projects in Indonesia for AP1 /AP2, It was really hard for us in past to get VISA, but now a bit easier, Kindly do something better for us by including us on VISA on Arrival also. with this I can bring my Kids along myself when I am on business trip.
Has there been any updates to this list recently? I see Ghana listed on this website, but not on others. Are Ghanaian citizens eligible for visa-free travel? Where can I find the most up-to-date information? Thank you in advance!
Hello. My passport will be valid for 5 months when I go to Bali i.e I plan on going in April but my Passport will expire in September. Will I still be able to travel to Bali? I Read somewhere that my passport has to have at least 6 months validity if I’m to travel to Bali. I’m from Zimbabwe. How far true is this and how can the issue be resolved?
Hello, your passport has to be valid for 6 months from the day you enter Bali / Indonesia. This is a very strict rule and if you have less than 6 months then you are pretty much guaranteed to be refused entry. Your airline would probably not even allow you on the plane to Bali as your airline would be responsible to fly you back out of the country.
Why no include Pakistan name to visa on arrival in indonesia.

My name is mian said iam stay Abu dhabi I need visit viaza Indonesia. 00971554841778
I am from South Africa, flying in from Dubai. My visa is only valid for 3 months on arrival. I am only staying a week and have my return ticket and booking confirmation for the week. will I be allowed entry?
It depends if the visa you have is single entry or multiple entry. If it is single entry then the visa will no longer be valid after you leave Indonesia.
I am confused here. I carry an Irish (European Passport). I am told on the one hand that the visa is free but on the other hand there is a 35 USD fee. So which is it?? I have been there before but am being told now that the visa-fee is no longer applicable which is why there is no queue at the immigration visa desk
You can choose to take the 30 day free visa (not extendable) or pay for the USD 35 visa on arrival (extendable once by another 30 days). If you plan to stay for 30 days or less then the free visa makes most sense.
I want vist visa of Indonesia because i go my friend he live there i an from Pakistan which prosess can i do this plz reply me
