Do Mexico passport holders need a visa to visit Indonesia?

Q: Should I get the e-VOA online or buy VoA at the airport?

Both are valid and cost the same (IDR 500,000). The online e-VOA is recommended because it lets you skip the arrival counter queues.

Q: How do I pay for the e-VOA?

Online with a Visa, Mastercard, or JCB card. At the airport counter you can also pay cash in USD, EUR, AUD, or GBP.

Q: Do I need a return ticket?

Yes. Proof of onward or return travel is required, and proof of accommodation and sufficient funds may be requested.

Mexican ordinary passport holders need a Visa on Arrival (VoA) for tourism in Indonesia — best obtained online in advance as the e-VOA (IDR 500,000) for a 30-day stay, extendable once for another 30 days. Mexico is NOT on Indonesia's visa-free list, so a Mexican ordinary passport holder cannot enter Indonesia without a visa for tourism. The simplest and recommended pathway is the Visa on Arrival (VoA), which Mexico is fully eligible for. Travelers can either buy the VoA at the counter on arrival at a designated airport/seaport, or — recommended — apply online beforehand for the Electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) at the official portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id to skip airport queues. The fee is IDR 500,000 (about USD 32-35). It grants a single entry and a 30-day stay, extendable once for a further 30 days (a second IDR 500,000), for a maximum of 60 days. The passport must be valid at least 6 months from arrival with two blank pages, and travelers need proof of onward/return travel. The e-VOA is valid for 90 days from issue (you must enter within that window). No major policy change affects Mexicans as of May 2026 — Mexico's VoA eligibility is stable.
