Netherlands to Indonesia visa requirements

Dutch citizens get visa-on-arrival USD 35 / IDR 500,000 for 30 days at major Indonesian ports. Dutch passport holders can obtain an Indonesia Visa on Arrival (VoA) at IDR 500,000 (approximately USD 35) for stays up to 30 days, extendable once for another 30 days. The Netherlands is one of 86 countries eligible for Indonesia's VoA programme covering tourism, business meetings, government visits, and transit. The eVOA (electronic Visa on Arrival) at evisa.imigrasi.go.id is recommended to save time at the airport. The Netherlands and Indonesia share deep colonial-era ties, and there are large Dutch-Indonesian communities. KLM operates direct flights from Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS) to Jakarta (CGK), Bali (DPS), and Singapore for onward Indonesian connections. Garuda Indonesia also serves Amsterdam-Jakarta. Work, study, journalism, and longer stays require a regular Indonesian visa from the Indonesian embassy in The Hague.
