Hong Kong (SAR China) to Indonesia visa requirements

Visa-free for up to 30 days. HKSAR passport holders are on Indonesia's BVK/A1 visa-exemption list; the stay is free, single-entry, and non-extendable. As of 21 June 2026, holders of Hong Kong SAR (HKSAR) ordinary passports may enter Indonesia visa-free for short visits for up to 30 days under Indonesia's Bebas Visa Kunjungan (BVK / A1 visa-exemption) route. Indonesia's current Directorate General of Immigration BVK list includes Hong Kong, and Presidential Regulation No. 95 of 2024 states that visa-exempt visitors receive a stay permit for a maximum of 30 days that cannot be extended or converted to another stay permit. No e-VOA or visa fee is needed for this short route, but travelers should use the paid e-VOA / Visitor Visa instead if they may need an extendable 30+30-day stay or a purpose outside the visa-exemption scope. Travelers need an HKSAR passport valid for at least 6 months from arrival, a return or onward ticket if asked, and the free All Indonesia arrival declaration completed through the official portal or app from 3 days before arrival. This exemption is for HKSAR passport holders; BN(O) passport holders should use the correct Indonesian visa route because BN(O) is treated separately from Hong Kong in Indonesia's eVisa system. Foreign tourists entering Bali must also pay the separate IDR 150,000 Bali tourism levy.
