Indonesia to Senegal visa requirements

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Senegal. Since 2025, Senegal requires a mandatory electronic visa (e-visa) obtained online before travel via the official portal (visasenegal.sn / snedai.sn) for all non-ECOWAS, non-exempt nationals, which includes Indonesians. There is no visa-free entry or visa on arrival. An Indonesian (ID) ordinary passport holder traveling to Senegal (SN) for tourism must obtain a visa in advance; Indonesia is not on Senegal's visa-exemption list (which covers ECOWAS states, the EU, the UK, USA, India, Japan, Brazil, Canada, Morocco, Singapore, South Korea and Switzerland) and is not an ECOWAS member, so the visa waiver and African-Union visa-on-arrival channels do not apply. In 2025 Senegal rolled out a mandatory electronic visa (e-visa) on a reciprocity basis for nationals of countries that require visas from Senegalese citizens; the application is completed online (pre-enrolment) through the official government portal at visasenegal.sn / snedai.sn, where applicants upload documents, pay the fee and receive an electronic pre-visa to present at the border. The standard fee is EUR 50 plus a card processing surcharge of about EUR 2.50-5. The tourist e-visa typically allows stays of up to 90 days (single entry, with multiple-entry and longer-stay extensions available once in-country), and processing usually takes about 3-5 business days. Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay with at least one blank page. Senegal is in West Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Because sources consistently confirm that no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel exists for Indonesians and that pre-travel authorisation is mandatory, the conservative and correct verdict is e-visa (visa required, obtained electronically in advance).
