Philippines to Indonesia visa requirements

Visa-free up to 30 days under Indonesia's A1 visa-free facility. Complete All Indonesia for arrival; Bali Levy applies; PH BI may screen on departure. Filipino ordinary passport holders are on Indonesia's visa-free visit (BVK/A1) list and may enter Indonesia visa-free for up to 30 days per entry for tourism, family visits, meetings, MICE-style events, and transit. The A1 stay is free, single-entry per admission, and cannot be extended or converted to another stay permit. Travellers need a passport valid for at least 6 months and a return or onward ticket. If a longer stay may be needed, use the B1 Visitor Visa / Visa on Arrival option instead; it costs IDR 500,000, grants up to 30 days, and can be extended once for another 30 days. Since 1 October 2025, international arrivals must complete Indonesia's All Indonesia arrival declaration, which combines immigration, customs, health, and quarantine declarations and can be submitted from 3 days before arrival. Bali charges an additional IDR 150,000 foreign tourist levy. Filipino tourists also go through Philippine Bureau of Immigration departure formalities and may face secondary inspection if red flags are identified. For employment, study, journalism, or other non-visitor purposes, the corresponding Indonesian visa or permit is required.
