Indonesia visa from Singapore: visa-free entry, VOA and eVOA

Singapore passport holders can enter Indonesia visa-free for eligible visits of up to 30 days. If you travel on another passport or plan a longer stay, you may need a Visa on Arrival (VOA), an eVOA or another visa.¹

This guide explains the entry options, requirements, fees and application steps for travelling from Singapore to Indonesia.

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

Do Singaporeans need a visa for Indonesia?

No, for eligible tourist visits of up to 30 days. Singapore passport holders can use Indonesia’s A1 visa exemption without applying for a visa in advance.¹

Whether you’re visiting Bintan for a weekend or taking a Bali holiday, you’ll still need a passport valid for at least six months and a return or onward ticket.

Visa-free entry has no visa fee, but you cannot extend the 30-day stay. Choose an appropriate visa before entering if you may need longer.

Do Singaporeans need to fill in an arrival card for Indonesia?

Yes. Visa-free travellers must still complete the All Indonesia arrival declaration.²

The declaration has been mandatory for international arrivals since 1 October 2025. Complete 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. It is separate from any visa you need.

Indonesia visa-free entry, VOA and eVOA: what’s the difference?

For tourism, the main differences are how long you can stay, whether you can extend and when you apply.¹

These options cover tourism, with other permitted activities depending on the category. Don’t assume business meetings, medical treatment, work or study are covered by every option. Use the official visa finder to match your activities and intended stay to the correct category.

Indonesia visa for foreign passport holders in Singapore

Your requirements generally depend on your passport nationality, travel purpose and length of stay. Living in Singapore does not automatically give you the same entry rights as a Singapore citizen.

For example, Indian passport holders are eligible for Indonesia’s B1 VOA/eVOA. A C1 visitor visa may suit a longer tourist stay; check the visa finder for your circumstances.³

There is a limited exception for Singapore permanent residents: eligible travellers can use a special visa exemption for visits of up to four days to Batam, Bintan and Karimun through designated checkpoints. Check the conditions before relying on this for your trip.

Indonesia Visa on Arrival and eVOA

The B1 VOA and eVOA are single-entry visas for eligible nationalities. Both allow an initial stay of up to 30 days, with one extension of up to 30 more days.¹

Who can get an Indonesia Visa on Arrival?

Eligibility depends on your passport. Check Indonesia Immigration’s VOA country list before applying.³

Singapore passport holders are eligible, although visa-free entry is usually sufficient for a qualifying trip of 30 days or less. A VOA or eVOA is an option if you may want to extend your stay.

Indonesia VOA and eVOA requirements

For an ordinary passport holder, the main requirements are:¹

• Passport: At least six months’ validity.
• Onward travel: A return ticket or ticket to another country.
• Visa fee: 500,000 IDR, approximately 36 SGD.

For an eVOA, also prepare a digital copy of your passport’s biodata page and a recent colour photograph. Follow the application’s document requirements and ensure your departure plans fit your permitted stay.

These tourist entry routes do not authorise local paid employment. Follow your visa conditions and local laws; use the appropriate category if you intend to work or study.

How much does an Indonesia Visa on Arrival cost?

The B1 VOA and eVOA cost 500,000 IDR, approximately 36 SGD, for the initial 30-day stay.¹ An extension has a separate fee.

Pay online by debit or credit card for an eVOA. For a VOA, pay at the designated counter on arrival. Check the payment options at your entry point and carry IDR cash as a backup.

SGD estimates are based on Wise exchange rates as of 10 September 2026.

VOA or eVOA: which should you choose?

An eVOA can reduce the steps you complete on arrival, but it does not guarantee immediate entry. You must still meet the entry requirements and complete immigration checks.

How to apply for an Indonesia eVOA online

1. Open the official Indonesia visa website and select Apply.
2. Enter your passport 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, pay 500,000 IDR by card and save the issued eVOA when it becomes available.

Check that your name and passport number match your travel document. Complete the All Indonesia declaration separately before arrival.

What if you want to stay in Indonesia for more than 60 days?

Consider a visa that permits a longer stay or extensions. Indonesia has separate categories for tourism, business, work, study, family stays and investment.¹

The C1 visitor visa is one option for a longer tourist visit. Its initial 60-day stay can be extended, subject to immigration requirements.

Check the visa finder for the category that fits your trip, and arrange any extension before your authorised stay expires.
