Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit UAE?

Yes, Indonesian citizens generally need a pre-arranged UAE tourist visa. Indonesian ordinary passport holders are not generally listed among UAE visa-on-arrival nationalities, so tourist travel usually requires a pre-arranged UAE entry permit sponsored through a UAE-based airline, hotel, travel agency, or eligible sponsor.
