Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit BW?

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Botswana, but can apply online for a tourist eVisa before travelling. Indonesia is not on Botswana's visa-exempt list, so an approved eVisa (or embassy visa) must be obtained in advance. Indonesia is not among the countries granted visa-free entry to Botswana. Since Botswana launched its electronic visa system in August 2021, all nationalities that previously required a visa - including Indonesia - are eligible to apply online through the official portal at evisa.gov.bw. For a short tourist visit, an Indonesian traveller should apply for the Tourist eVisa, which is typically issued as a single-entry visa permitting a stay of up to 30 days (extendable in-country with justification). The passport must be valid for at least 6 months. The official Department of Immigration states processing takes about 7 to 14 days, so applicants should apply well ahead of departure. A printed eVisa approval letter should be carried and presented on arrival together with proof of onward travel, accommodation, and sufficient funds. Because sources can vary on exact fees, applicants should confirm the current government fee at payment on the official portal.
