Indonesia Visa for Bangladeshi Citizens

Bangladeshi citizens need a visa before traveling to Indonesia.

The B1 e-VOA is the standard option for tourism and short visits, processed entirely online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id.

Allow 3–5 business days for processing, and apply at least one week before your flight.

Do Bangladeshi Citizens Need a Visa for Indonesia?

Bangladesh does not have a visa-free or visa-on-arrival arrangement with Indonesia. Bangladeshi passport holders must apply for a B1 e-VOA before departure. The application is completed online — no embassy visit or paper form is required.

Types of Indonesian Visas for Bangladeshi Citizens

Travelers from Bangladesh have several visa options depending on their intended length of stay. Choosing the right category ensures compliance with local immigration laws.

B1 e-VOA — Most Common Option (30 Days)

The B1 e-VOA is the preferred choice for short holidays and business meetings. It permits a single entry for up to 30 days, and it is valid for 90 days from the date of issue to enter the country.

C1 Tourist Visa — For 60-Day Stays

If you need more time, the C1 Tourist Visa allows an initial stay of 60 days. This is ideal for extended holidays or visits to family, but it requires more comprehensive documentation during the application process.

Visa Type	Stay	Validity	Extendable	Apply At
B1 e-VOA	30 days	90 days	Yes (Once, 30 days)	evisa.imigrasi.go.id
C1 Tourist Visa	60 days	90 days	Yes	evisa.imigrasi.go.id
D1 Multiple Entry	60 days per visit	1, 2 or 5 years	No	evisa.imigrasi.go.id

Required Documents

To successfully apply for your entry permit, ensure your passport has a minimum of 6 months validity from your date of arrival. You must also have at least one blank page available for entry and exit stamps.

For applicants seeking C1 or D1 visas, immigration requires a recent bank statement. This statement must show a minimum balance of USD 2,000 over the last 3 months.

How to Apply for an Indonesian e-VOA — Step by Step

The official Indonesia e-VOA application is straightforward and entirely digital. Follow these specific steps to submit your details accurately.

1. Visit the official portal at evisa.imigrasi.go.id and create a new user account.
2. Select the B1 e-VOA option and accurately fill in your passport details and personal information.
3. Upload a clear scan of your passport’s biometric page and a recent digital passport-style photograph.
4. Review all entered data to ensure it matches your travel documents perfectly.
5. Pay the required fee using a Mastercard, Visa, or JCB card.

Processing Time and Fees

The government fee is IDR 500,000 (~USD 35).

Payment must be made via Mastercard, Visa, or JCB only, and is strictly non-refundable.

Processing takes 3–5 business days.

How Long Can Bangladeshi Citizens Stay in Indonesia?

A B1 e-VOA allows Bangladeshi citizens to stay in Indonesia for up to 30 days. Your stay duration begins counting on the exact date you clear immigration.

It can be extended once for an additional 30 days, for a total of 60 days. Make sure to initiate the process well before your initial visa expires to avoid overstay penalties.

Extensions are handled in person at a local immigration office — the online extension option was removed since June 2025.

Extending Your Stay

Bangladeshi travellers can extend their B1 e-VOA by 30 days at an Indonesian immigration office. You must bring your passport and flight itinerary to the appointment.

This in-person visit must take place before the original 30-day stay expires.

If you need more than 60 days, consider the C1 Tourist Visa, which provides a 60-day initial stay.

Getting to Indonesia from Bangladesh — Flight Routes

There are no direct flights from Dhaka to Bali or Jakarta, meaning travellers must secure a connecting flight. Booking a single ticket through a major airline often ensures a smoother connection.

Transit Options (Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Doha)

Most travellers route through major aviation hubs such as Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, or Doha. These transit points offer frequent daily flights directly into Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport and Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta.

Do You Need a Singapore Transit Visa?

NOTE: Bangladeshi passport holders transiting through Singapore face strict immigration rules. If your connecting flight requires you to clear Singapore immigration or switch terminals independently, a transit visa is heavily enforced.

Always verify with your airline if your baggage is checked through to your final destination in Indonesia. If you must collect luggage in Singapore, you will absolutely need a valid Singapore transit visa.

Estimated Travel Times to Bali

Depending on your layover, the total travel time from Dhaka to Bali generally ranges from 10 to 15 hours. Shorter connections through Kuala Lumpur are typically the fastest routes available.

Entry Requirements on Arrival

Clearing immigration requires more than just your visa. Ensure you complete the mandatory digital forms prior to boarding your flight to Indonesia.

All Indonesia Arrival Card (allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id)

Every incoming passenger must complete the digital arrival declaration. You must submit this form within 3 days before arrival via allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id.

Bali Tourist Levy (lovebali.baliprov.go.id)

If your destination is Bali, you must pay the regional tax which costs IDR 150,000 (~USD 10). This should be settled prior to landing by visiting lovebali.baliprov.go.id.

Indonesian Embassy in Bangladesh

While the e-VOA is completed online, certain long-term or complex visas require embassy assistance. Processing for C or D visas through the embassy takes at least 3 weeks.

The Indonesian Embassy is located at Road No. 53, Plot No. 14, Gulshan-2, Dhaka. It handles consular support and processes applications for diplomatic, student, and specific work permits.

Frequently Asked Questions
