Malaysia to Indonesia visa requirements

Visa-free up to 30 days under ASEAN reciprocity. SatuSehat required, Bali Levy applies. Malaysian ordinary passport holders enter Indonesia visa-free for up to 30 days per entry under the ASEAN reciprocal visa exemption agreement. The exemption covers tourism, business meetings, family visits, and transit. The 30-day stay is not extendable on the visa-free pass — travellers anticipating a longer stay should instead take the Visa on Arrival (IDR 500,000) which provides 30 days plus a one-time 30-day extension. All foreign visitors must complete the free SatuSehat health declaration online before arrival. Bali charges an additional IDR 150,000 tourism levy on entry. The land border at Entikong / Tebedu (Kalimantan / Sarawak) is a popular crossing for shopping and trade. Malaysia-Indonesia travel is dominated by family visits, religious tourism, and Bali leisure. For work, study, journalism, or stays beyond 30 days the corresponding Indonesian visa is required at the embassy in Kuala Lumpur.
