Do Qatari citizens need a visa for Indonesia
Yes, they do. There is no visa-free arrangement between the two countries. Qatar is one of the 97 countries whose citizens can apply for the electronic visa on arrival, so there is no need to visit an Indonesian consulate.
The Qatari embassy's guidance quotes the old amounts
The website of the Qatari embassy in Jakarta carries travel instructions for Indonesia, and the figures in them date from the earlier rules: a $25 visa fee and a $20 per day overstay fine.
The amounts are different now. The government fee for the e-VOA is IDR 500,000, and the extension costs the same again. The overstay fine is IDR 1,000,000 for each day, roughly $60 rather than $20.
❗ Budgeting a trip from those instructions is a bad idea: the fine is three times what they say. The current amounts are always visible in the price block on this page and on the official immigration portal.
What the instructions still get right: a passport with six months to spare and proof of a return or onward flight. The embassy also asks citizens to report their address and contacts on arrival, which is sensible and has nothing to do with the visa.
The e-VOA in detail
The visa is issued online through Indonesia's official immigration portal. The government fee is IDR 500,000 plus the card processing fee. Applications are normally decided within 48 hours of the fee being paid.
Once approved, a PDF of the visa arrives by email with a unique number and a QR code, which you present on entry. We advise our clients to save the file on their phone and to print it as well (in case the device runs out of battery in flight).
Now the visa itself:
- The visa is valid for 90 days from the date of issue. You can enter on any day inside that window, including the last one.
- On arrival you are given 30 days of stay. The day of arrival counts as the first.
- You can extend it once, by another 30 days. That makes 60 days maximum per trip.
- The visa is single-entry. It stops being valid the moment you leave the country, and you will need a new one to return.
❗ If you plan to spend more than two months in Indonesia, apply for the C1 visa before departure. An e-VOA cannot be converted into a C1 inside the country, you would have to leave and file a new application.
How the extension works
The extension fee is another IDR 500,000. The application is filed online, but the procedure requires one visit to the immigration office in person, for a photograph and fingerprints. That takes time, so it is better to start the extension about two weeks before the first 30 days run out.
If you extend through MyVisa.World, we file the application ourselves and tell you the date and time of your appointment at the immigration office. If you already know you will stay longer than 30 days, choose the "eVOA for 60 days" option.
Which documents you need
The list is short. An e-VOA applicant must provide:
- A colour scan or photograph of the passport data page. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months on the day of entry into Indonesia.
- A photograph on a white background. A phone selfie will do, a studio is not needed.
- An address in Indonesia, taken from a hotel or villa booking.
- A booking for a return ticket or a ticket to a third country.
❗ Every child needs a separate visa, infants included. A child cannot be added to a parent's visa.
Send the documents to a visa specialist in the chat. If the return ticket is not booked yet, tell us and we will help.
Price and processing time
All prices include the Indonesian government fee and our service charge. We accept cards issued by any bank in the world.
Express service
Urgent processing means the eVOA application is filed out of turn within the next 2 working hours after payment is received. Issue of the visa may take longer because of frequent maintenance on the immigration website.
The All Indonesia arrival card
This is a free electronic form completed by everyone arriving in Indonesia. It became compulsory on 1 October 2025 and replaced four documents at once: the immigration card, the customs declaration, the quarantine declaration and the health form.
It is filled in on the official website or in the All Indonesia app. The form can be submitted within three days before arrival. We recommend doing it before departure, so the QR code is ready in advance.
❗ The arrival card is not a visa and does not replace one. You need both documents.
The Bali tourist levy
IDR 150,000 per person, about $9.50. Tourists pay it regardless of age. Certain categories are exempt by visa type: KITAS and KITAP holders, diplomatic and service visas, crew members, student visas.
Payment is made on the official website or in the Love Bali app. Cash is not accepted, only cards, bank transfer or QRIS. The levy is paid once per trip, at any point before you leave the country, though before departure makes more sense. Keep the QR code from the email: it is scanned on the way out of the arrivals area at Ngurah Rai airport and at Benoa port.
If you have flown into Jakarta and are not going to Bali, you do not pay the levy.
What happens if you overstay
The fine is IDR 1,000,000 for every day beyond the permitted stay and is paid at the airport on departure. That is how the first 60 days of overstay are counted. Beyond that it is no longer a fine but an administrative measure: detention, deportation at your own expense and a ban on entry. Deportation can come earlier if you cannot pay.
After entry, look at the stamp in your passport, check the date your permitted stay ends and set a reminder.
If you need 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 requires a local sponsor, and MyVisa.World acts as one.
The D1 multiple-entry visa is valid for 1, 2 or 5 years and gives 60 days per entry, with no limit on the number of trips. It suits people who come to Indonesia several times a year.
Check before you fly
Before you fly, check:
- The passport is valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry and has two blank pages for stamps.
- The e-VOA is saved on your phone and printed.
- The All Indonesia arrival card is completed and the QR code saved.
- If you are flying to Bali, the tourist levy is paid and the QR code saved.
Why apply through MyVisa.World
We are officially registered in Indonesia and work with the immigration service directly, without intermediaries. An experienced visa specialist checks the application before it is filed, so a blurred passport scan or a photograph with a shadow across the face does not turn into a refusal a week later.
The standard processing time is 2 days. If you need the visa urgently, we file the application out of turn within 2 hours. We accept cards from banks in any country.
Message a visa specialist in the chat, send a copy of your passport and a photograph, and we will do the rest.
