TOP 5 Reasons for Entry Denial to Indonesia

The Indonesian government is dedicated to ensuring that your entry into the country is as easy and comfortable as possible, so you can focus on making unforgettable memories. Despite Indonesia’s welcoming nature, there are specific reasons that may lead to entry denial.

Reasons for Entry Denial

To avoid any setbacks during your travel, take note of the following:

Failure to Possess Necessary Documents

According to the current rules, you must have the following documents to enter the country:

  • Passport valid at least 6 months
  • Valid Visa
  • Ticket from Indonesia

The lack of the required documents, such as a paid ticket for departure, may result in denial of entry.

According to the rules, you must have a return ticket or a ticket to a 3rd country to enter Indonesia. A ticket from Indonesia will not always be checked, but you should understand that if a passport control officer or an airline employee requests it, you must present it. Otherwise, you may be denied entry into the country or check-in for a flight.

Also, please make sure your country is on the VOA list, otherwise apply for a tourist visa in advance.

Of course, please be sure that your passport is valid at least six months from the date of entry into the country.

Damaged passport

It is also crucial that all pages of your passport remain intact without any damage, including deformation caused by exposure to moisture.

Inconsistency in Visa Purpose.

Ensure that the purpose of your visit aligns with the type of visa you hold. If you are on a tourist visa, your visit should be solely for tourism purposes.

Frequent Entries and Exits with Visa On Arrival

The regulations do not specify how many times a year you can consecutively enter the country on a visa on arrival. However, please be aware that If you frequently enter and exit Indonesia on a Visa On Arrival (especially if you leave the country for the short periods only), immigration officers may inquire about your activities and source of income. If they find your answers unsatisfactory, they have the right to refuse entry.

📌 Recommendation for Frequent Business Travelers

For business travelers who need to visit Indonesia regularly and require multiple entries, we recommend the Multiple-Entry Business Visa D212. This visa will streamline your travel and avoid any complications at the entry point.

Displaying Disrespectful Behavior

Politeness and respect go a long way in any country. Avoid raising your voice or displaying rude behavior towards airport staff and immigration officers, as this could create unnecessary difficulties during your entry process.

And in conclusion: Always Consult a Reliable Visa Agency.
