Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit BF?
Indonesian passport holders need a visa for Burkina Faso, and the standard route for a short tourist visit is the official eVisa applied for online before travel at visaburkina.bf. Indonesia is not on Burkina Faso's visa-exempt list (which is limited to ECOWAS states plus a handful of others such as Singapore, Morocco, Mauritania, UAE and Hong Kong). Burkina Faso is a West African country and is not part of the Schengen area, so no Schengen 90/180 or ETIAS rules apply. Since the official eVisa portal launched on 17 August 2023, the online eVisa has become the standard channel for most foreign tourists, including Indonesians. The eVisa is a single-entry document permitting a stay of up to 90 days, with the visa typically valid for up to 6 months from issue. Applications are submitted entirely online via the government portal, requiring a passport bio-page scan, passport photo, proof of accommodation, and a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate. The standard government decision time is about 3 business days (72 hours). Visa on arrival at Ouagadougou airport now exists only in exceptional circumstances and should not be relied upon, so a traveler should obtain the eVisa in advance. Given the active security situation, Indonesian travelers should also check current travel advisories before booking.
