Indonesia Visa for Pakistani Citizens – Official guide

Pakistani citizens require a visa to enter Indonesia. The B1 e-VOA is the most straightforward option for short trips, applied for online before travel. The fee is IDR 500,000 (~USD 35) and processing takes 3–5 business days.

Do Pakistani Citizens Need a Visa for Indonesia?

Pakistan does not have a visa exemption or visa-on-arrival agreement with Indonesia. A B1 e-VOA must be secured before departure — applications are made at evisa.imigrasi.go.id. No physical embassy visit is needed for the standard e-VOA application.

Types of Indonesian Visas for Pakistani Citizens

Each category has strict rules regarding validity and permitted activities.

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

The B1 e-VOA is the standard tourist permit for short holidays. It allows a single entry into the country for tourism purposes. Your document remains valid for 90 days from the date of issue to enter the country.

C1 Tourist Visa — For 60-Day Stays

Travellers planning an extended holiday should consider the C1 Tourist Visa. This category grants a continuous 60-day stay right from your arrival date. It eliminates the need to visit an immigration office for a 30-day extension. Please note that the E33G is a Remote Worker Visa ONLY and cannot be used for standard tourism.

How Long Can Pakistani Citizens Stay in Indonesia?

Pakistani citizens can stay in Indonesia for up to 30 days on a B1 e-VOA.

One extension of 30 days is permitted, for a maximum stay of 60 days.

Extensions require a personal visit to an immigration office — online extensions ended in June 2025.

How to Extend Your Stay

The B1 e-VOA can be extended once by 30 days at a local immigration office in Indonesia.

For trips longer than 60 days, the C1 Tourist Visa offers a 60-day initial stay.

Always apply for the extension before your current permitted stay ends — overstays cost IDR 1,000,000 per day.

TIP: Begin the extension process at least 7 to 10 days before your initial 30 days expire.

You will need to bring your original passport and a copy of your return flight ticket to the immigration office.

Getting to Indonesia from Pakistan — Flight Options

Direct flights between Pakistan and Indonesia are currently unavailable. Travellers must book connecting flights through major international transit hubs. Planning your route carefully will help minimize long layovers.

Available Transit Hubs (Dubai, Kuala Lumpur, Doha)

Dubai is a highly popular connection point using airlines like Emirates. Kuala Lumpur serves as a major gateway for Southeast Asian routes via Malaysia Airlines or Batik Air. Doha offers excellent connectivity through Qatar Airways for travelers heading to Jakarta or Denpasar.

Do You Need a Transit Visa at Your Stopover?

NOTE: Transiting through certain countries may require additional documentation.

Pakistani passport holders often need a transit visa if they leave the airport transit zone. If you transit through Malaysia, verify if your itinerary requires you to clear immigration to recheck baggage. Always consult the latest travel advisories for Pakistan citizens regarding third-country transit rules.

Estimated Travel Times to Bali

A journey from Karachi or Lahore to Bali typically takes between 12 and 18 hours. This duration heavily depends on the length of your layover. Choosing a route through Kuala Lumpur generally provides the shortest overall travel time.

Entry Requirements on Arrival

Authorities require further digital declarations upon your arrival at the airport. Failing to complete these forms in advance will cause significant delays at immigration checkpoints.

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

The government replaced all paper customs cards in October 2025. Every foreign passenger must complete the digital All Indonesia Arrival Card. You must submit this form within 3 days before your arrival date.

Complete your declaration securely at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id.

After submission, save the generated QR code to your smartphone to scan at the electronic gates.

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

Travelers specifically landing in Bali face an additional regional requirement. The provincial government enforces a mandatory Bali Tourist Levy for all international arrivals. The fee is set at IDR 150,000 (~USD 10) per person.

You are required to process this payment via lovebali.baliprov.go.id before you arrive.
