Indonesia visa FAQ
Does Indonesia ask for a flight reservation for a visa on arrival?
Yes. Indonesian immigration lists a return ticket or an onward ticket to another country as a requirement, together with a passport valid for six months. Airlines usually check it at departure from India.
Is a hotel booking needed for Bali or Indonesia?
It is not in the visa-on-arrival requirements published in the immigration FAQ. You will need an address for the arrival forms, so a booking for at least the first nights is practical.
When should I book flights for Indonesia?
You need the return or onward booking before you apply online or reach the counter. Holding a reservation works if your plans are not final, as long as it is valid on the day you travel.
Can Indians get a visa on arrival in Indonesia?
Yes, India appears on the e-VOA country list. You can apply online ahead of travel or at the counter on arrival; confirm the current fee and length of stay on the official site.
