Indonesia to India visa requirements

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need an Indian e-Tourist Visa (eVisa), applied online before travel. Indonesia is on India's eligible e-Visa list, and official 2026 fee sources show Indonesian nationals' eVisa fee as gratis/US$0. India does not grant general visa-free entry to Indonesian ordinary passport holders, and the India Visa Online portal lists visa on arrival only for nationals of Japan, South Korea, and certain UAE nationals. Indonesia is, however, on India's official e-Visa eligibility list, so Indonesian tourists can apply online through the Bureau of Immigration e-Visa portal before travel. The e-Tourist Visa categories include a 30-day tourist visa plus 1-year and 5-year tourist visas; the 1-year and 5-year tourist visas allow multiple entries and cap the maximum stay in India at 180 days during one calendar year, while the 30-day tourist visa is valid for 30 days from first arrival and the issued ETA controls the permitted entries. The biggest correction in this check is the fee: India's 20-February-2026 country-wise e-Tourist Visa fee PDF lists Indonesia as 00/00/00/00 for the 30-day, 1-year, and 5-year tourist categories. Applicants still need a passport with at least six months' validity and two blank pages, a return or onward ticket, and sufficient funds. Apply only on indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa, avoid intermediaries claiming express processing, and enter through one of the designated e-Visa airports or seaports.
