Brazilian citizens can now enter Indonesia without a visa.
Since 3 July 2025, Brazil has been included in Indonesia’s Visa Exemption list under Minister of Immigration Regulation No. 9 of 2025.
The exemption allows stays of up to 30 days for tourism, business, and family visits.
Do Brazilian Citizens Need a Visa for Indonesia?
Since July 2025, Brazilian citizens no longer need a visa for short visits to Indonesia. The change follows Minister of Immigration Regulation No. 9 of 2025, which became effective on 3 July 2025. There is no prior application needed — simply present your valid Brazilian passport at any authorised entry point to enter the country.
Brazil–Indonesia Visa-Free Agreement — What Changed in 2025
When Did It Take Effect?
The visa exemption officially took effect on 3 July 2025. Prior to this date, Brazilian travellers were required to apply and pay for a visa on arrival or an electronic visa before their journey.
Minister of Immigration Regulation No. 9 of 2025 — Key Points
This regulation updated the list of eligible nationalities, granting Brazil visa-free access to Indonesia. It aims to boost bilateral relations, tourism, and business exchanges between the two nations.
What the Exemption Covers and What It Does Not
The exemption covers standard tourist visits, short business meetings, and family visits for a limited time. However, it does not permit employment, long-term study, or extended stays. If you intend to work remotely, you must apply for the E33G Remote Worker Visa instead.
How Long Can Brazilians Stay in Indonesia?
Brazilian passport holders can stay in Indonesia for up to 30 days on each visit. This exemption took effect on 3 July 2025 under the new reciprocal agreement. Be aware that an overstay fine of IDR 1,000,000 per day applies from the day after your permitted period ends.
Visa Options for Stays Longer Than 30 Days
Brazil’s visa exemption is non-extendable. To stay beyond 30 days, Brazilians must exit Indonesia and apply for a B1 e-VOA or C1 Tourist Visa before returning, as there is no option to convert a visa-free entry while in the country. For a complete overview of requirements, refer to the Indonesia eVisa portal.
