Free Visa for Visiting Indonesia So, this year our president decide that we were adding some country for free visa. But, the countries that can enter for free at any immigration checkpoint in Indonesia are Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Chile, Brunnei Darussalam, Ecuador, Philippine, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Peru, Morocco, and Vietnam. Also, Macao and Hongkong. The other group of country (30 countries), such as South Korea, Japan, Russia, US, and German, can get free visa if enter and exit from nine immigration checkpoint, like Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta), Ngurah Rai (Bali), Kualanamu (Medan), Juanda (Surabaya), Hang Nadim (Batam), Sri Bintan Pura (Tanjung Pinang), Batam Center (Batam), Sekupang (Batam), and Tanjung Uban (Tanjung Uban). If the travelers enter from other than those checkpoint, they have to pay visa on arrival (VOA) about $35. For further information, please check Indonesian Presidential Decree 69/2015. I hope that clear some confusion about it.
