Do Vietnam passport holders need a visa to visit Indonesia?

Visa-free up to 30 days under ASEAN reciprocity. SatuSehat required, Bali Levy applies. Vietnamese 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, payable online or on arrival. Vietnam-Indonesia travel is growing rapidly with Bali, Jakarta, and Yogyakarta as the top destinations for Vietnamese visitors. For work, study, journalism, or stays beyond 30 days the corresponding Indonesian visa is required at the embassy in Hanoi or consulate in Ho Chi Minh City.
