Indonesia: Officials suspend visa-free travel for 159 countries June 17

Event

Indonesia has temporarily suspended a visa-free policy for 159 countries as of June 17 due to disease concerns. Countries from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), including Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor Leste, and Vietnam, are exempt from the visa requirement; travelers from these countries can stay in Indonesia for up to 30 days with a valid passport and confirmed departure ticket. Officials did not confirm the duration of the measure.

Individuals who wish to extend their stay in Indonesia can apply for Electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA), Visit Visa, or Limited Stay Visa.
