Poland to Indonesia
Do I need a visa for Indonesia?
Polish citizens must hold an electronic visa (e-visa) for tourist travel to Indonesia. The e-visa is applied for online in advance and must be held before departure; it is not issued at the border.
The e-visa does not permit paid work or study.
Which documents do I need?
You must travel on a passport or a temporary passport; both biometric and temporary passports are accepted. A Polish national identity card and a driving licence are not accepted for entry on this route.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry to Indonesia; many airlines also require six months’ validity on departure from Indonesia.
Are vaccinations required for Indonesia?
Indonesia does not require vaccinations for this tourist route.
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
The permitted length of stay on the e-visa varies by case and is not specified here. Any extension process or penalties for overstaying are those set by Indonesian authorities; check the terms of the e-visa you are granted for the exact validity and permitted stay.
Can children travel on this route?
Children under 18 only need an accepted travel document (passport or temporary passport) to enter; no additional parental-consent paperwork is required for this tourist route.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is recommended but is not a condition of entry. The official advice recommends travel and medical insurance that includes medical evacuation.
Where do I get the visa?
The e-visa application is made through the official application portal linked on this page and the permission is issued electronically. The Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Jakarta is listed on this page for consular help in emergencies, but it is not the route for applying for the e-visa.
