Indonesia visas
Visas, customs declaration and entry requirements. What to arrange before your flight to Indonesia.
Tourist visa (Visa on Arrival)
Czech citizens are entitled to a tourist visa for 30 days. You obtain the visa directly upon arrival at the airport. The fee is 500,000 IDR (or equivalent in USD/EUR) — we recommend having cash ready. You may be asked to present a return ticket (have it printed or saved on your phone). After payment, you receive a passport stamp.
Electronic visa (e-VOA)
Alternatively, you can arrange the visa online before departure through the e-VOA system on the official Indonesian immigration website. The process is straightforward and the site includes detailed instructions. Advantage: you skip the airport queue.
Customs declaration
Travelers can complete the electronic customs declaration online in advance. The form can be filled out at the earliest 2 days before arrival. After completing it, you receive a QR code to present at the checkpoint. If you don’t fill it out in advance, you’ll complete it at the airport using your phone or kiosks.
How we handle it
We send clients an up-to-date document checklist including instructions for completing the e-VOA and customs declaration. On the ground, we also handle visa extensions if you decide to stay longer.
Extending your stay
The Visa on Arrival can be extended for another 30 days (60 days total). Extension is processed at the local immigration office — in Medan, Padang or Makassar. The process takes several working days. If you know you’ll want to stay longer, plan ahead.
Other documents
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry into Indonesia. We recommend making copies of your passport and important documents and saving them on your phone or email. As your accommodation address in Sumatra, you can enter: “Bukit Lawang — Ecolodge”.
