Filipino passport holders can enter Indonesia visa-free for eligible visits of up to 30 days, including trips to Bali. Longer stays, work or study may require a visa.¹

This guide covers Indonesia’s entry requirements for Filipinos, when to apply for a visa, and which entry options allow an extension.

We'll also introduce the Wise card, a handy travel companion to make seamless card payments when you're overseas.

Do Filipinos need a visa for Indonesia?

No, for eligible visits of up to 30 days. Filipino passport holders can use Indonesia’s A1 visa exemption for qualifying short visits.¹

For longer stays or activities such as employment or study, use the official visa finder to check the appropriate category. Apply through official channels to avoid unnecessary third-party fees.

Is Bali visa-free for Filipinos?

Yes. Filipino passport holders can visit Bali visa-free for eligible tourist stays of up to 30 days.

Bali follows Indonesia’s national immigration rules. There is no separate Bali visa for Filipino passport holders.

Do Filipinos need to fill in an Indonesia arrival card?

Yes. Complete the All Indonesia arrival declaration, even if you’re entering visa-free.²

Submit it through the official All Indonesia website within the three days before arrival and save the confirmation QR code. The declaration is free—avoid unofficial websites that charge to submit it.

Indonesia visa-free entry requirements for Filipinos

You must qualify for visa-free entry and leave before your permitted stay ends. Prepare the following for immigration:¹

Permitted activities include tourism, visiting friends or family, certain business meetings and site visits, and medical treatment. These permissions do not authorise local paid employment. Check the conditions for your planned activity before travelling.

Visa-free stays cannot be extended. Follow local laws and customs, and leave before your permission expires. Overstaying can lead to fines, deportation or other penalties. Immigration officers decide whether you meet the entry requirements.

When do Filipinos need a visa for Indonesia?

You’ll need a suitable visa if you want to stay beyond the visa-free allowance or undertake activities it does not cover.

For a tourist trip that may last 31–60 days, a B1 VOA or eVOA allows you to apply for one extension. For work or study, select the category that covers your job or course—a tourist visa is not a substitute.

Check your plans with the official visa finder before travelling, rather than waiting until your visa-free stay is about to expire.

Indonesia Visa on Arrival and eVOA for Filipinos

Filipino passport holders are eligible for Indonesia’s B1 Visa on Arrival.³ Obtain it at an eligible arrival checkpoint or apply online before travelling for an eVOA, the electronic version.

Both allow an initial stay of up to 30 days, with one extension of up to 30 more days. This makes them useful if you may want a longer tourist stay than the visa-free route permits.

Indonesia VOA requirements and cost

The B1 VOA and eVOA cost 500,000 IDR, approximately 1,800 PHP, for the initial 30-day stay. Extensions have a separate fee.¹

You’ll need a passport valid for at least six months and a return or onward ticket. For an eVOA, also prepare a digital copy of your passport’s biodata page and a recent colour photograph. Your departure plans must fit your authorised stay.

PHP estimates are based on Wise exchange rates as of 11 September 2026. Actual amounts may vary with exchange rates and payment fees.

The B1 covers tourism, family visits and specified business activities. It does not authorise local paid employment. For medical treatment, work or study, check the visa finder for the category and conditions that fit your trip.

How to apply for an Indonesia eVOA online

First, check that your intended airport, seaport or land checkpoint accepts the eVOA. Then follow these steps:

1. Open the official Indonesia visa website and select Apply.
2. Enter your nationality, travel purpose and intended stay to check that B1 eVOA is suitable.
3. Follow the registration and application prompts, then enter your passport and travel details.
4. Upload your passport biodata page, recent photograph and any other requested documents.
5. Review your details and pay 500,000 IDR by card.

Once your eVOA is issued, download or print it. Check that your name and passport number match your travel document, and complete the All Indonesia declaration separately.

Applying online lets you arrange the visa before travelling, but you must still meet the entry requirements on arrival.

Can Filipinos extend their stay in Indonesia?

It depends on how you entered:¹

Apply for any permitted extension before your authorised stay expires. Leaving and returning does not guarantee another admission, so choose the right visa for your plans from the outset.

What visa do you need for longer or non-tourist stays?

Indonesia has separate categories for longer tourist visits, employment, study, retirement and other purposes. These examples can help you narrow your search in the official visa finder.¹

Tourism visas

Work visas

Confirm the correct category and sponsorship requirements with your employer before applying.

Study visas

Your school or course provider can help you identify the category and supporting documents you need.
