Official evidence timeline

One group agreement or destination policy can support many passport relationships. Dates are recorded only when an official source establishes them.

  1. Current official routeCitizenship

    Indonesian nationals: outside foreign visitor visa scope

    Indonesia's visitor-visa framework applies to foreigners, not Indonesian citizens.

    • This citizenship classification does not establish the document requirements for a particular Indonesian national, dual national, carrier, or border route.
    • It does not determine treatment when a dual Indonesian national presents another country's ordinary passport.

    Current BVK ordinary passports: Indonesia visa exemption

    The listed ordinary passports are currently eligible for Indonesia's Bebas Visa Kunjungan (BVK) visitor-visa exemption.

    • BVK is a genuine visitor-visa exemption, not Visa on Arrival or e-VOA. The current official BVK list is applied alongside the current VOA list; where both facilities list a nationality, this policy uses the more favourable current BVK classification.
    • BVK authorizes a visitor stay of up to 30 days and is not extendable. Official BVK visitor purposes include tourism, family, and onward transit; it cannot be used for work or journalism.
    • A valid ordinary passport of at least six months and a return or onward ticket are required. Indonesian Immigration applies the facility at designated immigration checkpoints and retains admissibility discretion.
    • This policy does not establish work, residence, diplomatic, official, crew, calling-visa, refugee, alien travel-document, or other special-document treatment.

  3. Current official routeVisa on arrival

    Current VOA ordinary passports: Indonesia Visa on Arrival

    The listed ordinary passports are eligible for Indonesia's Visa on Arrival (VOA) visitor route. e-VOA is an optional electronic application and payment channel for the same VOA category.

    • The current official list identifies these nationalities as VOA subjects. e-VOA does not change this normalized status to eVisa: Indonesia Immigration expressly describes e-VOA as electronic Visa on Arrival, while VOA remains obtainable and payable on arrival.
    • The B1 VOA permits one entry, an initial stay of up to 30 days, and one extension up to a total 60 days. It covers tourism, family visits, meetings/incentives/conventions/exhibitions, and onward transit, not work or residence.
    • e-VOA holders may use only the current specified airports and seaports. Ordinary VOA may instead be obtained at the applicable arrival immigration point; eligibility and facility availability are entry-point dependent.
    • The usual application materials include a passport valid at least six months and a return/onward ticket. A crew member joining a conveyance has a stated ticket exception. Entry and the stay permit remain subject to immigration assessment.
    • This policy does not cover calling-visa clearance, diplomatic, official, special, refugee, alien, or residence documents, or another visa purpose.

  4. Current official routeeVisa

    Non-calling ordinary passports: Indonesia C1 electronic tourist visitor visa

    For the listed formerly unresolved ordinary passports, the central Directorate's current C1 rule establishes an account-based, pre-travel electronic visitor-visa route without a sponsor. Nationalities affected by either currently published Calling Visa schedule, and Kosovo whose portal mapping was not disclosed, remain unresolved.

    • This policy applies only to holders of a national ordinary passport who were unresolved in the promoted Indonesia batch and are absent from both currently published Calling Visa schedules. It does not duplicate BVK, VOA/e-VOA, or Indonesian-citizen policies.
    • C1 is a single-entry visitor visa for tourism, personal development, tourist-attraction study, cruise travel, selected MICE participation, business discussions/negotiation/site visits, medical-related activities, and the listed non-work activities. It grants an initial stay of up to 60 days, may be extended up to 180 days, and cannot be used to sell goods or services or receive Indonesian work compensation.
    • The Directorate's C1 page directs applicants to the official eVisa service for account-based application with electronic files; the official portal says an approved visa is downloadable from a link sent by email. This is an available electronic pre-travel route, not a visa on arrival.
    • The current materials require a passport valid at least six months, recent photograph, and evidence of at least USD 2,000 living expenses; the visa is valid for 90 days after issuance if unused. Admission and any stay permit remain subject to Immigration assessment.
    • The live eVisa selection page exposes Passport/Country/Region fields but did not disclose individual country results in this review. Recheck the mutable selector before promotion or travel. The central C1 page expressly says no sponsor, but an undated regional C1 page retains sponsor-led template instructions; the central Directorate page is treated as controlling, while this operational inconsistency remains a material risk.
    • A second official regional schedule currently identifies Cameroon, Guinea and Niger as Calling Visa nationals while the Bontang schedule does not. Those three codes are left unresolved rather than treated as a no-sponsor complement.
