✅ Last verified on-the-ground: 2026-06-26

Here is the honest answer about the Indonesia 60 day visa for Indian passport holders: as of mid-2026, Indonesia does not issue a generic “60-day tourist visa” on arrival.

If your situation is different (you’re flying into Bali specifically, doing a land border from Timor or Malaysia, or staying longer than 60 days), jump to the section that matches.

Visa Types Compared: What Indians Can Use

Indonesia offers several legal pathways for Indians, but only two make sense for a typical backpacker or tourist.

1. Visa on Arrival (VoA). The Default Choice

This is what 90% of Indians flying into Bali or Jakarta use. It is stamped into your passport at the airport immigration counter on landing. For the full step-by-step walkthrough, see our Indonesia VoA Guide for Indians.

Fee: ₹3,379 (~500,000 IDR or ~$35). Pay in IDR, USD, or by Visa/Mastercard at the airport.
Duration: 30 days from the date of entry, single entry.
Processing: Instant. The counter officer scans your passport, takes your fingerprint, and hands you the stamp.
Extendable: Yes, once, for an additional 30 days, at an immigration office inside Indonesia. This is how you reach the practical 60-day cap. Extension fee: ₹3,379 (~500,000 IDR or ~$35).
Why it works: Available at every major international airport including Ngurah Rai (Bali), Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta), and Juanda (Surabaya). Also available at select sea ports if you arrive by ferry from Singapore or Malaysia.

2. E-VOA (Online Pre-Application)

Same visa as the on-arrival VoA, but you apply and pay online before flying. You skip the longer VoA queue at the airport and walk to a shorter “e-VOA” lane.

Fee: ₹3,379 (~500,000 IDR or ~$35). Identical to airport VoA.
Duration: 30 days from entry, single entry.
Processing: Official portal says “up to 3 business days.” In practice most approvals arrive within hours, but never count on instant: apply at least 48 hours before departure to be safe.
Extendable: Yes, same as VoA (one 30-day extension at immigration office for ₹3,379 (~500,000 IDR or ~$35)).
Why pick this over VoA: Less queueing on arrival, and you avoid the rare situation where the airport payment terminal is down and you have to scramble for an ATM.

3. The “60-Day Tourist Visa” Confusion

If you searched specifically for an “Indonesia 60-day visa,” you may have seen references to a C1 visa category or a “B211A” visa. Here is the situation:

C1 / 211A Tourist Visa: This is a separate visa applied for at an Indonesian embassy before travel, not on arrival. Pricing, duration, and extension rules for this category change frequently and vary by embassy; verify the current terms directly with the Indonesian embassy before applying. It exists, but for Indian backpackers it is rarely the best choice: more paperwork, longer lead time, and you have to visit or post to an embassy (none in many Indian cities, so Mumbai or Delhi only). Useful if you genuinely need more than 60 days and don’t want to do a visa run.
The “60 days” that most Indians use: VoA 30 days + 30-day extension = 60 days. No embassy trip required.

If your real plan is 60 days and not more, the VoA + extension route is cheaper, faster, and simpler than the C1. If you need 90+ days, the C1 tourist visa is worth looking at.

Rule Change Watch

Indonesian immigration policy has shifted multiple times in the last decade. As of 2026-06-26, the VoA fee is ₹3,379 (~500,000 IDR or ~$35) and the extension fee is also ₹3,379 (~500,000 IDR or ~$35). There has been periodic talk of a longer-stay tourist visa being introduced for all nationalities, but no such scheme was in force at the time of this verification. Always re-check the official Indonesia e-VOA portal within a week of flying.

Step-by-Step: How to Apply for the e-VOA (Online, Pre-Flight)

If you decide to skip the airport queue and apply online, here is the process Indians should follow. The portal is in English and accepts international cards.

Go to the official portal: https://e-voa.imigrasi.go.id/. Do not use third-party “visa services” that mark up the same ₹3,379 (~35 USD) fee to ₹4,000 (~$41.44)+.
Create an account with your email and a password.
Fill the application: passport number, full name (exactly as on passport), date of birth, nationality, arrival date, arrival airport. Indian passport holders will see a 30-day VoA option (sometimes labeled “B213” or “Tourist”).
Upload documents: passport bio page scan (PDF or JPG, clear), passport-style photo (white background, recent). Keep file size under 1 MB each.
Pay ₹3,379 (~500,000 IDR or ~$35). Visa, Mastercard, and some JCB cards work. Some Indian debit cards fail on the Indonesian payment gateway; if yours does, switch to a forex card (HDFC, Niyo, or a BookMyForex multi-currency card all work reliably). For a full breakdown of all Indonesia visa fees for Indians, see our Indonesia Visa Fees Guide.
Wait for approval: email arrives within minutes to 3 business days. The approval PDF contains a QR code.
At the airport: skip the standard VoA queue, go to the e-VOA lane (marked), present your passport and the QR code on your phone or printout. Biometric scan, stamp, done.

At the Airport Without e-VOA (Standard VoA)

If you decide to wing it on arrival, the process is:

Before check-in in India, ensure your passport has at least 6 months validity from your date of entry into Indonesia, and at least 2 blank pages.
Onboard, fill the arrival card (fill the digital version if your airline offers it).
At the airport, join the “Visa on Arrival” queue (separate from the visa-free/green lane).
At the counter, present passport, pay ₹3,379 (~35 USD) in cash or card, get fingerprinted, receive the stamp. The whole thing takes 10-20 minutes if the queue is short, up to an hour during peak Bali arrivals (afternoon, Sunday evenings).
Proceed to baggage and customs. The Bali tourism levy is collected at a separate counter after immigration for Bali arrivals only (see below).

At the Airport / Border: What Happens

A few details that don’t show up in the official instructions:

Which counter: Look for “VoA” or “Visa on Arrival” signs. At Ngurah Rai (Bali) and Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta), these are well-signed. At smaller airports like Yogyakarta or Lombok, the VoA counter is sometimes shared with general immigration.
What they check: passport validity (6 months), return or onward ticket (not always asked, but have it ready on your phone), hotel booking for at least the first night (rarely asked but travellers report being asked). Proof of funds ($100/day equivalent) is in the fine print but rarely enforced for Indians.
Photo requirement: not enforced for the on-arrival VoA, but required if you apply for e-VOA online.
Bali tourism levy (Feb 2024 onwards): Every foreign arrival to Bali pays an additional ₹806 (~150,000 IDR or ~$8.35). It is collected at a dedicated counter after immigration, before you exit the airport. You can also pay online at lovebali.baliprov.go.id before flying to skip that queue.
Land borders: VoA is available at the Batam and Bintan ferry terminals from Singapore, and at Entikong (West Kalimantan, land crossing from Malaysia). At Entikong specifically, bring exact change in IDR: the counter has no card facility and the nearest ATM is 2 km away.
Common questions at the counter: “How long will you stay?” (state 30 days, not “as long as possible”), “Where are you staying?” (name of your first hotel/hostel is fine), “Do you have a return ticket?” (show it).

Extensions & Overstay: How to Get Your 30 More Days

This is where the “60-day” total comes from. The VoA is extendable once by 30 days at any Indonesian immigration office. For the online extension process, see our Indonesia VoA Extension Online guide.

Where to extend: Kantor Imigrasi (Immigration Office). The main tourist-facing one in Bali is in Denpasar. In Jakarta, it’s at the central immigration directorate. In Yogyakarta, the local Imigrasi office handles extensions. Plan a half-day trip; queues are worst on Mondays.
Cost: ₹3,379 (~500,000 IDR or ~$35). Payable in IDR at the office counter.
When to start: At least 7 days before your current VoA expires. You can also apply on the day of expiry, but the fine starts the moment the clock runs out, so don’t cut it close.
Documents needed: passport, VoA stamp page, photocopy of passport bio page, proof of accommodation in Indonesia (hotel booking or rental), a sponsor letter if you have one (not always required), and the extension fee.
Processing time: Same-day in most offices. Walk in morning, get stamped by afternoon.
What you cannot do: extend a second time. After 30 + 30 = 60 days, you must leave Indonesia. To stay longer, you need to do a “visa run” (exit and re-enter, getting a fresh VoA) or apply for a different visa category from inside (KITAS, business, social).

Overstay Penalties

Fine: ₹5,372 (~1,000,000 IDR or ~$55.65) per day, capped after several days. Plus potential detention and removal costs for long overstays.
Above 60 days overstay: Deportation, blacklisting from Indonesia for 5+ years, and the airline that flew you out can refuse boarding until you settle the fine in full.
Travellers report: immigration officers at smaller airports are sometimes lenient about a one-day overstay if the fine is paid on the spot, but never count on this. Leave on time.

Common Mistakes & Rejection Reasons

These are the real reasons Indians get turned away at the counter or end up with a shorter stay than expected:

Passport name mismatch with the flight ticket: If your ticket says “Mohammed” and your passport says “Muhammad,” the airline may refuse boarding in India. Fix this at the airline check-in counter or by rebooking the ticket with the exact passport spelling. This is the single most common reason Indians miss a flight.
Less than 6 months passport validity: Indonesia enforces this strictly. If your passport expires in March 2027 and you’re flying in October 2026, you may be denied boarding. Renew first.
No blank pages: The VoA stamp needs a full page. If your passport is full of stamps from SEA backpacking, you may be denied. Get additional pages from the Indian passport office before flying.
e-VOA typo on the application: Even one wrong digit in the passport number means the QR code won’t scan at the airport. Double-check every digit before paying.
Showing up at the e-VOA lane with the wrong document type: If you applied for the B211A (60-day tourist visa, pre-application via embassy) but went to the e-VOA lane, you will be turned back. The two products look similar online but have different processing offices.

Subodh’s Pro Tip: Take a photo of your passport bio page and your VoA stamp page on your phone the moment you clear immigration. If your passport is lost or stolen in Indonesia, the immigration office will want to see exactly when you entered, and a photo is the only proof that survives a stolen bag.

Getting Connected: SIM and eSIM

You need data the moment you clear immigration: to call a Grab, to message your hotel, to load Google Maps. Two options:

Physical SIM at the airport: Telkomsel has a counter at every major Indonesian airport including Ngurah Rai and Soekarno-Hatta. The 7-day tourist SIM costs ₹269 (~50,000 IDR or ~$2.78) and includes around 15 GB of data, enough for a week of normal use. The SIM is pre-registered to your passport at the counter; takes 5 minutes.
eSIM (set up before you fly): Get Nomad eSIM and activate before takeoff. Lands connected. Useful if you don’t want to queue at the Telkomsel counter after a 5-hour flight.

For a 60-day trip, the Telkomsel counter SIM is cheaper (a second 30-day top-up runs around ₹537 (~100,000 IDR or ~$5.57)), but eSIM is more convenient. Many travellers do both: eSIM on arrival, physical SIM when they settle into a longer-stay guesthouse.

Where to Eat (For When You Need a Real Meal, Not Just a Quick Stop)

While you’re in Indonesia on your 60-day visa, you’ll want real food. Here are named spots worth visiting if you’re in the area:

SEMAJA Menteng (Jakarta, rating 4.8): Indonesian comfort food in a cozy setting in the Menteng neighborhood. Good for a quiet lunch between visa office runs.
Kalluna Cafe & Restaurant (Yogyakarta, rating 4.7): Western and Indonesian dishes, including the Bali specialty ayam betutu and a truffle mushroom pasta. Chic but relaxed.
JANESA CAFE (Labuan Bajo, rating 4.9): Indonesian-Western fusion with a standout spicy calamari in lime aioli. Worth a stop before or after a Komodo trip.
La Moringa Labuan Bajo (Labuan Bajo, rating 4.9): Local and Indonesian dishes, a quieter alternative to the waterfront tourist traps.
SATOO (Jakarta, rating 4.6): Casual dining with a mix of Indonesian and international dishes.

When the spice craving hits or you’re strict veg, these three are reliable:

The Royal Kitchen Signature (Jakarta, rating 4.9): North Indian cuisine, lamb Raan Sikandar is the signature. Around ₹806-₹1,612 (~150,000-300,000 IDR or ~$8.35-$16.70) per person.
Ganesha Ek Sanskriti Kemayoran (Jakarta, rating 4.8): Traditional Indian cuisine, butter chicken and similar. Around ₹537-₹1,343 (~100,000-250,000 IDR or ~$5.57-$13.91) per person.
The Indiana Cuisine (rating 4.9): North Indian dishes with a modern twist. Casual and cozy.

FAQ

Do Indians need a visa for Indonesia? Yes, Indian passport holders need either a Visa on Arrival or an e-VOA. There is no visa-free entry for Indians as of 2026.

Can I get an Indonesia visa on arrival with an Indian passport? Yes. The VoA is available at all major Indonesian international airports and selected land/sea borders. Fee is ₹3,379 (~35 USD) for 30 days, extendable once.

How much does the Indonesia 60 day visa cost? There is no standalone “60-day visa.” The practical 60 days costs: ₹3,379 (~35 USD) VoA + ₹3,379 (~500,000 IDR or ~$35) extension = ₹6,758 total, plus the ₹806 (~150,000 IDR or ~$8.35) Bali levy if you fly into Bali.

How long does Indonesia e-VOA processing take? Officially up to 3 business days, in practice often within hours. Apply at least 48 hours before flying.

Can I extend the Indonesia VoA more than once? No. Only one 30-day extension is allowed, taking the total to 60 days. After that, exit and re-enter or apply for a different visa category.

How many blank passport pages do I need for Indonesia? At least 2 blank pages (one for the VoA stamp, one for the exit stamp and any extensions).

Is the Bali tourism levy included in the VoA fee? No. The ₹806 (~150,000 IDR or ~$8.35) Bali levy is separate, collected at the airport after immigration or paid online at lovebali.baliprov.go.id before departure.

Subodh’s Take

If your India-to-Indonesia plan is 60 days or less, stop reading visa blogs and just take the VoA on arrival. The e-VOA is a nice-to-have if you want to skip the queue, but it costs the same and the queue at Ngurah Rai is rarely more than 20 minutes. The ₹3,379 (~500,000 IDR or ~$35) extension is worth doing in person at the Denpasar immigration office rather than chasing a third-party “visa agent” online who will charge you 4x and hand you the same form. For anyone planning more than 60 days, the C1/B211A pre-application visa through the Indonesian embassy is the right route, but expect paperwork, embassy visits, and 10-14 days of lead time. The visa rules here change quietly, sometimes yearly, so always re-verify on the official e-VOA portal within a week of your flight.
