From the stunning beaches of Bali to the cultural richness of Yogyakarta, Indonesia is every tourist's dream. But before packing our bags, we need to figure out the visa requirements for EU citizens. If you’re planning a trip to Indonesia, here’s everything you need to know about getting the right visa.
For many EU citizens, visiting Indonesia for a short holiday is incredibly simple. Indonesia offers visa-free entry for up to 30 days for passport holders from most European Union countries. This is perfect for tourists who plan to explore the country briefly without worrying about extra paperwork.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

If 30 days isn’t enough, you can opt for a Visa on Arrival (VOA), which allows you to stay in Indonesia for up to 60 days. This visa is granted for 30 days initially but can be extended once for another 30 days at an immigration office.

For those planning to stay longer or for purposes beyond tourism (such as work or study), you’ll need to apply for a visa before entering Indonesia.
If you want to stay beyond 60 days, a single-entry tourist visa allows you to stay for up to 60 days, with the option of extending it for another 30 days. You need to apply at an Indonesian embassy or consulate in your home country before travelling.
Frequent travellers to Indonesia can apply for a multiple-entry visa, which is valid for one year, allowing stays of up to 60 days per visit. This is ideal for business visitors or those who plan to visit multiple times.
Indonesia is a hotspot for digital nomads, especially in Bali. While there is no official digital nomad visa yet, many remote workers enter the country on a business visa (B211A) or a social-cultural visa. These visas allow longer stays but may require sponsorship from an Indonesian company or organisation.
