Do Greek citizens need a visa for Indonesia?
Yes. Greece is one of the 97 countries whose citizens can use the visa on arrival, and it is issued online as the eVOA. The fee is IDR 500,000, the stay is 30 days, with one extension for another 30.
The requirements are the standard ones: a passport valid for at least six months on the date of entry, blank pages, and a return or onward ticket with a fixed date. A Greek national identity card is not enough to enter Indonesia.
What the e-VOA gives you
Point by point: how you apply, how long the visa itself is valid and how long you may actually stay.
- How it is issued. Entirely online, through the Indonesian immigration portal. You receive a PDF with a number and a QR code. Print it or keep it on your phone.
- Validity. 90 days from the date of issue. You can enter on any day inside that window, including the last one.
- Length of stay. 30 days, counted from the day you cross the border. The day you land counts as day one.
- Extension. Once, for another 30 days. The maximum on this visa is 60 days in one trip.
- Entries. Single. If you pop over to Singapore for a weekend, the visa is used up and you need a new one to come back.
❗ Planning more than 60 days? Do not rely on the e-VOA. Apply for a C1 tourist visa before you fly. You cannot switch from an e-VOA to a C1 inside Indonesia, you would have to leave the country and apply from abroad.
How the extension works
Start the extension about two weeks before your 30 days run out. Do not leave it to the last day. The application goes in online, then immigration gives you a date to come to the nearest office once, for a photo and fingerprints. The official extension fee is IDR 500,000.
We handle the paperwork and the appointment for you. If you already know you want the full 60 days, take the "e-VOA for 60 days" option in the price list below and stop thinking about it.
What documents you need
The list is short, and most of it is already on your phone.
- A colour scan or photo of the bio-data page of your passport. It has to be valid for at least 6 months on the day you enter Indonesia.
- A photo on a plain white background. A phone selfie is fine, no studio needed.
- The address where you will stay in Indonesia. A hotel booking is enough.
- A booking for a return or onward flight.
❗ Every child needs a separate visa, including infants. A child cannot travel on a parent's e-VOA.
Send everything to our specialists in chat. If you have not booked the return flight yet, say so and we will help.

All prices include the Indonesian government fee and our service charge. We accept cards issued by any bank in the world. The express option means your application goes in ahead of the queue within two business hours of payment.
Express service
Greece has no presence on Bali at all
The direct answer first: there is neither a Greek consulate nor an honorary consul on Bali. Greece's only mission in the country is the embassy in Jakarta — Plaza 89, 12th floor, suite 1203, Jl. Rasuna Said kav. X-7 No. 6; +62 21 520 7776 and +62 21 520 7761, consular section +62 21 527 2471, gremb.jrt@mfa.gr and grcon.jrt@mfa.gr.
The Greek community in Indonesia is small — the embassy puts it at about seventy people, mostly in Jakarta and on Bali, largely freelance professionals. At that size a consul on the island is not going to appear, and you should not plan around one.
What does work, in full force, is Council Directive (EU) 2015/637 on consular protection: a Union citizen whose own state is not represented in a given place may approach the diplomatic or consular mission of any other member state and be helped on the same terms as that state's own nationals.
On Bali that is a concrete list of addresses: France — a consular agency in Denpasar that hands over finished documents; Germany and Czechia — honorary consulates in Sanur, the Czech one able to issue a replacement travel document; Spain — an honorary consulate in Seminyak; Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and Finland — honorary consulates with varying powers.
If you lose your passport: police report, then the nearest EU mission, then through it to the Greek embassy in Jakarta, which issues the document. The directive gives you the right to be received and assisted; the Greek paperwork still comes from the Greek side.
Digital consular services
Greece has moved a substantial part of its consular work online, and the Jakarta embassy lists digital consular services explicitly. In practice a number of matters that once required a flight to Jakarta can now be handled remotely — certificates, attestations, appointments, advice.
For a country whose nearest Greek office is a thousand kilometres and an hour's flight from Denpasar, that matters. Check what is available remotely before you travel and set up access in advance, rather than at the moment something goes wrong.
The time difference between Athens and Bali is five hours in winter and four in summer; the Jakarta embassy keeps Indonesian hours, while a call to Athens is easier in the second half of a Balinese day.
A few more things to keep in mind
Insurance. The European Health Insurance Card does not work in Indonesia. You need a commercial policy covering medical evacuation, with activities such as riding a scooter, diving and surfing named explicitly in the contract.
Rupiah only. Payments inside Indonesia are made in the local currency alone — a central bank requirement. Euros are not accepted anywhere.
Your pre-flight checklist
Run through this the night before. These are exactly the things passport control will ask for.
- Passport valid at least 6 months from the date of entry, with two blank pages.
- The e-VOA saved on your phone and printed.
- The All Indonesia arrival card completed and its QR code saved.
- If you are flying to Bali, the tourist levy paid and its QR code saved.
What is the All Indonesia arrival card?
It is a free electronic form that every traveller arriving in Indonesia has to complete. It became compulsory on 1 October 2025 and replaced four separate documents at once: the immigration arrival card, the customs declaration, the quarantine declaration and the health pass.
You fill it in on the official site or in the All Indonesia app. The window is three days before arrival, and you can also do it on landing, though filling it in before you board is calmer. Once you submit it, a QR code arrives by email. That QR code is what you show at passport control.
❗ The arrival card is not a visa and does not replace one. You need both.
How much is the Bali tourist levy?
IDR 150,000 per person, about USD 9.50. It applies to everyone who does anything touristy on the island, children included, whatever the purpose of the trip.
You pay on the official site or in the Love Bali app. Cash is not accepted, only cards, bank transfer or QRIS. The levy is paid once per trip and any time before you leave Indonesia, but the sensible moment is before departure. Save the QR code you get by email: it is scanned as you walk out of the arrivals area at Ngurah Rai Airport or at Benoa seaport.
Landing in Jakarta and never going to Bali? Then you do not pay it.
Getting to Indonesia from Greece
There are no direct flights from Greece to Bali. From Athens the routes run via Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Istanbul — one change and 16 to 19 hours of travel. For Greek airports Istanbul often turns out to be the shortest option by total journey time.
What happens if you overstay
The fine is IDR 1,000,000 for every day beyond your permitted stay, and you pay it at the airport as you leave. A long overstay is a different matter and can end in detention, deportation and a ban on returning. Immigration does not accept "I lost track of the dates", so check the stamp in your passport on the day you arrive and set a reminder.
Staying longer than 60 days
Two visas cover almost every case.
The C1 tourist visa gives 60 days and can be extended twice without leaving the country, up to 180 days in total. It needs a local guarantor, and MyVisa.World acts as one.
The D1 multiple-entry visa is valid for 1, 2 or 5 years and gives 60 days on every entry, with no limit on how many times you come and go. It suits people who visit Indonesia several times a year.
Why apply through MyVisa.World
We are officially registered in Indonesia and work with the immigration service directly, without middlemen. Your application is checked by a person before it is submitted, so a blurred passport scan or a photo with a shadow on the face does not turn into a refusal a week later.
Standard processing is 2 days. If you are flying tomorrow, the express service submits your application ahead of the queue and the visa usually arrives within 2 hours. We accept cards issued by any bank in the world.
Write to our visa specialist in chat, send a copy of your passport and a photo, and we will take it from there.
