Indonesia e-visa for US citizens: Complete guide 2025

Traveling to Indonesia has become increasingly accessible for US citizens through the electronic visa system.

At iVisa, we understand the importance of a smooth visa application process and provide comprehensive support to ensure your journey to Indonesia begins hassle-free.

Understanding Indonesia e-visa requirements for US citizens

The Indonesia e-visa system offers US citizens a convenient way to obtain travel authorization. Here's what you need to know:

• Valid passport with at least 6 months validity from planned date of entry
• Digital passport-style photograph
• Proof of accommodation in Indonesia
• Return flight ticket or onward travel documentation
• Sufficient funds to support your stay

Michael Zervos from Project Kosmos recommends:

"Indonesia has an auto gate system where they do not stamp your passport when you have the pre-approval (eVOA) - making the entry process much faster. No queues!"

How to apply for an Indonesia e-visa as a US citizen

Step 1: Begin by filling out our online application form. Ensure you provide accurate personal details, passport information, and specifics about your trip to Indonesia.

Step 2: Once your application is complete, make the eVisa fee payment. We offer a variety of payment options for your ease.

Step 3: After a few business days, once approved, you'll receive your eVisa in your email. Print it out and present it with your passport upon arrival in Indonesia.

Important information for US travelers to Indonesia

While Indonesia allows visa-free stays for up to 30 days per entry for certain activities, those wishing to stay longer or visit for other purposes must apply for a visa.

Understanding visa extension and special considerations

For US citizens planning longer stays in Indonesia, understanding visa extension options is crucial. While the initial eVOA grants a 30-day stay, extensions are possible through local immigration offices. Here's what you need to know:

Pro Tip: Based on customer feedback, we recommend initiating the extension process at least 7 working days before your current visa expires to avoid any complications.
