Indonesia eVisa FAQ Confirms 60-Day Tourist Visa at IDR 1.5 Million

Labuan Bajo — Indonesia’s official eVisa site says a visit-purpose tourist visa costs IDR 1,500,000, is valid for up to 60 days, and is typically processed within five working days, correcting a simpler summary published by AirAsia MOVE that groups Indonesia’s entry options differently.

The official FAQ says the visa must be used within 90 days of issuance and can be extended, while AirAsia MOVE’s guide describes a broader travel-planning overview for Indonesia visitors. The government page also lists a six-month passport requirement, a recent colour photograph and proof of living expenses of at least US$2,000.

What the official visa FAQ says

According to Indonesia’s official eVisa FAQ, the visit-purpose tourist visa allows travel for tourism and visiting family or friends. It also says the visa may be used for attendance at meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions as an attendee, but not for profit-making activities.

The same FAQ says most tourist visas are processed within five working days. It adds that the visa must be used within 90 days from the date of issue, a condition distinct from the permitted stay period.

For documents, the FAQ requires a passport valid for at least six months, or 12 months for holders of non-passport travel documents such as emergency passports or identity documents. It also requires a recent colour photograph and proof of living expenses of at least US$2,000 or equivalent.

The FAQ states that this tourist visa is extendable. It also says violations can lead to fines, deportation or other legal consequences.

How AirAsia MOVE frames entry options

AirAsia MOVE’s 19 August 2026 guide presents Indonesia entry as four broad routes: visa-free entry, Visa on Arrival, e-Visa on Arrival and visas arranged before travel through Indonesian missions. The guide advises travellers to confirm their status before booking or boarding.

In its overview, AirAsia MOVE says some travellers can enter without a visa in advance, while VOA and e-VOA are generally short-stay options. It also notes common pre-travel checks such as passport validity, onward or return ticket requirements and, for Bali visitors, an electronic customs declaration and a local tourism levy.

The guide’s fee table lists VOA and e-VOA at IDR 500,000, and a standard tourist visa at IDR 1 million to IDR 2 million. It also gives processing estimates ranging from immediate issuance for airport VOA to up to 10 working days for a tourist visa.

Why the difference matters

The two sources are not describing identical products. The official FAQ confirms one specific tourist visa with a 60-day stay and IDR 1,500,000 fee, while AirAsia MOVE’s guide describes broader entry categories that include VOA and e-VOA with different pricing and stay rules.

Travellers heading to Bali, Labuan Bajo or elsewhere in Indonesia should check their nationality, purpose of travel, intended length of stay and the exact visa category shown in the official system before paying or flying. The official page also makes clear that visa validity, stay length and extension rules are separate considerations.

For travellers whose plans exceed 30 days, or whose nationality does not qualify for visa-free or arrival-based entry, the official tourist visa route may be the more relevant option. Because the rules can differ by passport and visa type, the fee shown on the application page is the figure that should be treated as decisive.

Bottom line

AirAsia MOVE offers a useful high-level guide, but Indonesia’s official eVisa FAQ provides the more precise reading for the tourist visa it describes. For international visitors planning trips to East Nusa Tenggara and other destinations, the safest approach is to verify the exact visa category, fee and permitted stay in the government portal before departure.
