Netherlands & Germany (and most of the EU)
An eVOA is required. EU nationals are not visa-free; the EU lost visa-free status after COVID and it has not been restored as of 2026. You can apply online or pay at the airport counter.
Applying online (eVOA) is faster, enables the e-gates at the airport, and costs the same as paying on arrival.
Note: Indonesia is working toward restoring visa-free access for high-spending tourist nations, including the Netherlands and Germany, but it is not yet in effect.
Australia
An eVOA is required, with the same process as the EU.
Cost is about $50 AUD.
Note: Australia is on the list of countries Indonesia is considering for restored visa-free access, but it is not yet confirmed.
United States
An eVOA is required. The US is not visa-free.
The process and cost are the same as for EU and Australian travelers.
Apply at evisa.imigrasi.go.id.
