Do Egyptians need a visa to visit Indonesia? Yes. Egypt is included in the list of nationalities eligible for a visa on arrival, according to the official sources mentioned below. Eligible Egyptian passport holders can choose a VOA or e-VOA for short visits, provided they meet the requirements. However, for work, long-term stays, or investment, a visa tailored to the purpose is required, not just a tourist visa.
Last editorial review: October 9, 2026. Check nationality, passport type and purpose on the official e-Visa portal before traveling; entry approval is subject to immigration check.
Indonesia visa options for Egyptians
B1 visa and its electronic version e-VOA
The official B1 page states that the initial stay is up to 30 days and can be extended once for a total of 60 days. The e-VOA is the online application for a visa on arrival, not a work permit. Check your eligible entry point and visa details before traveling.
Tourist Visit C1
The C1 tourist visa category is available on the official visa list . Check the length of stay, sponsor, required documents, and fees for this category at the time of application if the entry visa option doesn't suit your plan.
Business visit and multiple entry
The official list includes C2 for business visits, D1 for multiple-entry tourist visas, and D2 for multiple-entry business visas. Do not assume a single validity period for all visas, and do not use a business visit visa for paid work without checking the category and obtaining the appropriate work permits.
Documents and preparation before traveling
- A national passport valid for the required period; category B1 offers a validity requirement of no less than six months.
- Return or onward travel ticket, subject to category conditions.
- A recent photo and a clear copy of the passport data page are required when submitting the online application.
- Address of residence, visit plan, and required payment method.
- Additional documents displayed on the portal for the selected category.
The name, passport number, and document dates must match the application. Temporary or non-national travel documents may be subject to different restrictions; they are not based solely on nationality eligibility.
Cost of an Indonesian visa for Egyptians
The official B1 visa page displays a fee of 500,000 Indonesian Rupiah . This is a government fee for this category and does not include all visas, extensions, or agent services. Confirm the current payment amount on the portal before completing your application.
If you seek assistance from Forever Legality, request a quote that separates government fees from review, application, and extension fees, if applicable. Include the purpose and duration of your visit to ensure a suitable service scope; approval and a fixed issuance date cannot be guaranteed.
Do you need a separate visa for Bali?
Bali is part of Indonesia, so you will need an Indonesian visa that suits your visit. Local tourist fees in Bali are separate from the visa; check the fee amount, exemptions, and instructions on the Bali government's Love Bali website before paying, and keep your receipt if the fee applies to you.
Application and extension: points to review
- Specify the purpose of travel, duration, and type of passport.
- Select the category from the e-Visa portal and check eligibility, documents, and fees.
- Review the data and attachments before submitting the application and payment.
- Check the issued visa, its validity period, and the length of stay; these are different durations.
- If you require an extension, check your category's instructions before your stay expires. The procedures may require your presence or additional verification.

Frequently asked questions for Egyptian travelers
Does an Egyptian resident in Saudi Arabia need a different review?
Nationality, passport type, and purpose are reviewed, and residency in another country may be supporting documentation for some applications. Foreign residency alone does not change nationality or grant automatic eligibility.
Does a tourist visa allow working in Indonesia?
A tourist visa is not a work permit. Consult KITAS's Work, Investment, and Family Services to determine the appropriate pathway for your actual business activity.
Can an Egyptian establish a PT PMA company?
Investment and foreign ownership eligibility is reviewed based on activity and KBLI (Indonesia’s business activity classification), not just nationality. Read the steps for establishing a PT PMA company in Indonesia before developing your incorporation and residency plan.
