Germany to Indonesia visa requirements

German ordinary passport holders are eligible for Indonesia Visa on Arrival or e-VOA, not visa-free. The B1 VOA costs IDR 500,000, allows 30 days, and can be extended once for another 30 days. German ordinary passport holders are not on Indonesia's short visa-exemption list, but Germany is on the official Visa on Arrival subject list. The standard B1 Visa on Arrival / e-VOA is single-entry, costs IDR 500,000, permits an initial 30-day stay, and can be extended once for a maximum total stay of 60 days. The e-VOA is valid for use within 90 days of issue and can be extended online where supported; a non-electronic VOA remains available at eligible Indonesian airports, seaports, and border posts. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months from arrival, and Immigration lists a return or onward ticket among the requirements. All international arrivals must submit the All Indonesia arrival declaration within 3 days before arrival. Foreign tourists visiting Bali must also pay the separate IDR 150,000 Bali Tourism Levy.

Common refusal reasons

by frequency
/01
Insufficient passport validity
Less than 6 months validity from arrival can trigger airline denial or refusal at Indonesian immigration.

Medium
/03
Wrong visa type for purpose
B1 VOA/e-VOA covers tourism, family visits, transit, meetings, incentives, conventions, exhibitions, and similar visit purposes. Paid work, journalism, study, research, volunteer work, or longer stays require another visa.
Medium
/04
All Indonesia declaration missing

Medium
/06
Adverse immigration history
Past Indonesian overstays, unpaid fines, or bans can still affect entry.
