Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit IR?

Indonesian ordinary passport holders can enter Iran visa-free for tourism for up to 15 days, once within any 180-day period. The stay is non-extendable. For longer or repeat visits, an Iran eVisa or visa on arrival (30 days, extendable) is required. As of mid-2026, Indonesia is one of the countries on Iran's unilateral visa-free list introduced on 5 February 2024. Holders of an ordinary Indonesian passport may visit Iran for tourism without a visa for a maximum of 15 days, allowed once within any 180-day (six-month) window, and the period is non-extendable. Travelers entering by air may be asked to present a confirmed onward/return ticket and proof of accommodation, and airlines sometimes request a visa grant notice, so carrying supporting documents is advisable. Iran does not require Schengen/ETIAS-type pre-authorization for this category. The visa-free channel covers tourism only; for business, study, longer stays, or a second visit inside the same six months, Indonesians must obtain a tourist visa via Iran's official eVisa portal (e-Visa, on the basis of which a 30-day visa on arrival can be issued) or through an Iranian embassy/consulate. Note that the Iranian visa/entry is electronic and typically no stamp is placed in the passport, which is helpful for travelers who later wish to visit the United States. Indonesia's foreign ministry has at times advised caution on travel to Iran due to regional security conditions, so check current advisories before departure. Sources consulted are consistent that the verdict for a short tourist stay is visa-free.
