Do Danish citizens need a visa for Indonesia?

No, Danish citizens do not need a visa in advance for short trips, but they must get an e-VOA before flying.

  • Most Danish travellers

    e-VOA

    Danish passport holders, as EU citizens, can apply online for the e-VOA before flying. It covers a single entry and a stay of up to 30 days for tourism, business meetings or similar short visits.

  • Longer or other stays

    Residence permit or other visa

    Danes who want to stay longer than 30 days, work, or settle in Indonesia need a different permit from an Indonesian embassy or consulate, or a residence permit applied for inside Indonesia. The e-VOA does not cover these.

The 30-day rule, and what it does not mean

An e-VOA lets a Danish citizen stay in Indonesia for up to 30 days from the date of arrival, on a single entry. It is not extendable, so leaving and coming back does not reset or add to the 30 days.

E-Visa On Arrival: 30 days per visit.

Arrive 1 March

21 of 30 days

1 Mar – 21 Mar: 21 of the 30 days this visa allows in one visit.

  • Single entry only: The e-VOA covers one entry. If a Dane leaves Indonesia and wants to return, a new e-VOA application is needed, not a re-entry on the same one.

  • 30 days is the hard limit: The 30-day count starts on arrival. It cannot be extended by applying again at the border or paying more; a different permit is needed instead.

  • To stay longer: A Dane who wants more than 30 days must apply for a residence permit or another visa type at an Indonesian immigration office before the 30 days run out.

  • Overstaying has consequences: Staying past the 30 days brings a daily fine. Overstaying more than 60 days can lead to detention, deportation or a future travel ban, regardless of nationality.

Your document checklist

Four things to have ready before you start your application, as a Danish applicant.

  • Passport biodata page

    Colour scan or photo of the full biodata page, JPG, JPEG or PNG, maximum 200 KB. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the arrival date.

  • Passport-style photograph

    Recent passport-size photo, JPG, JPEG or PNG, maximum 200 KB.

  • Mastercard, Visa or JCB card

    Needs 3D Secure and international payments enabled. Danish Mastercard, Visa or JCB cards work if set for international use; a Dankort-only card is not accepted.

  • Return or onward ticket

    A printed or digital copy of a return or connecting ticket out of Indonesia; an immigration officer can ask to see it on arrival.

When should you apply?

Processing takes 7–10 business days. Enter your arrival date and we'll work backwards.

Indonesian immigration advises applying at least 48 hours before departure. Applying around 5 days ahead leaves room to fix a rejected photo or document and resubmit before flying.

Four questions, 20 seconds

  1. Are you travelling on a Danish passport valid for at least 6 months after your arrival date?

  2. Is your trip for tourism, business meetings, a government visit, goods purchasing or transit, for 30 days or less?

  3. Will you arrive at one of the named airports, seaports or land crossings that accept the e-VOA?

  4. Do you have a Mastercard, Visa or JCB card with international payments and 3D Secure enabled?

Result

Answer all four

Four quick checks of the rules that most often catch travellers out, and we'll tell you where you stand.

The application, step by step

Before you apply

  1. 1

    Check your passport and entry point

    Make sure your Danish passport is valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date, and that you will arrive at an airport, seaport or land crossing on the official e-VOA list.

  2. 2

    Prepare your documents and card

    Scan your passport's biodata page and prepare a passport photo, both under 200 KB in JPG, JPEG or PNG. Have a Mastercard, Visa or JCB card with international payments switched on; a Dankort-only card will not work online.

On the official portal

  1. 3

    Register an account

    Create an account on the official e-Visa website and activate it from the verification email within one hour.

  2. 4

    Complete the application

    Sign in, choose the e-VOA, enter your arrival details and an address in Indonesia, and upload your scanned passport and photo.

  3. 5

    Pay the fee

    Pay by Mastercard, Visa or JCB within 120 minutes of starting, or you will need to submit the application again.

    IDR is the only currency charged; your bank converts this from DKK and may add its own charge.

  4. 6

    Download the e-VOA

    Once approved, download the e-VOA from your account. A copy is also emailed to you.

After you apply

  1. 7

    Submit the All Indonesia Arrival Card

    Within 3 days of arrival, complete the online arrival card and keep the QR code it emails you, to show alongside your passport and e-VOA at the border.

  2. 8

    Carry a copy on arrival

    Keep a soft or hard copy of your e-VOA with your passport and onward ticket. An officer can still refuse entry without giving a reason.

Questions Danish travellers actually ask

Yes. Denmark, as an EU member state, is on the e-VOA eligible list, so Danes can apply online before flying instead of visiting an embassy.

No. Payment needs a Mastercard, Visa or JCB card with international payments and 3D Secure enabled. A Dankort-only card is a domestic scheme and will not be accepted.

Danes need the e-VOA, applied for online before travel, for a stay of up to 30 days at Ngurah Rai airport or another listed entry point in Bali. There is no separate visa-free entry for Danish passports.

No. The fee is set and charged in Indonesian rupiah. Your card issuer converts this from DKK and may add its own currency conversion charge.

The e-VOA lets you enter any day within 90 days of approval, so a later arrival within that window is fine. Just make sure your 30-day stay is still counted from the actual arrival date.

No. The e-VOA is your entry permit. The Arrival Card is a separate digital declaration every traveller, including Danes, must submit within 3 days before arrival and show as a QR code at the border.

No. The e-VOA cannot be extended. To stay longer, apply for a residence permit or a different visa at an Indonesian immigration office before the 30 days end.

The things that make the first 48 hours easy, compared with home

Your Danish plug fits. Here's what to expect.

  • Type C

    Two round pins · 2.5 A

  • Type F

    Two round pins · 16 A

Type C

Type C and F sockets are used both at home and in Indonesia, so your own plugs fit.

Voltage

230 V · 50 Hz

Same as Denmark — phones, laptops and shavers work with only an adapter, no converter.

Pack: nothing special — your type C and F plugs go straight in. A small power strip is still handy where hotel rooms have one socket.

Indonesia drives on the left — the opposite of home

Compare traffic side:

Indonesia · left-hand traffic — the opposite of Denmark

  • Getting around

    Indonesia is an archipelago, so domestic flights and ferries link the islands, while ride-hailing apps like Gojek and Grab are the easiest way to get around cities. Traffic in Jakarta and Bali can be heavy, so allow extra time.

  • Health

    Tap water is not safe to drink; use bottled or boiled water. Dengue occurs, so use repellent. Malaria risk exists in rural eastern Indonesia, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Sumatra, but not Jakarta or Bali's resorts; check with a doctor first.

  • Customs and etiquette

    Dress modestly at temples and mosques, and remove shoes before entering homes and places of worship. Indonesia is majority Muslim, so be considerate around prayer times and during Ramadan, especially outside Bali.

Indonesian Rupiahs, cash and cards

Indonesia uses the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR).

  • Carry cash outside big cities

    Cards are mainly accepted in bigger cities and tourist spots like Jakarta and Bali. Many smaller businesses, warungs and markets are cash only, so keep rupiah on hand.

  • Use ATMs for local currency

    ATMs are common in cities and tourist areas. Always choose to be charged in rupiah, not your home currency, to avoid a poor dynamic-conversion rate. Withdrawal limits are often around 2.5-3 million rupiah per transaction.

  • Exchange only at licensed counters

    Change cash at banks or licensed money changers, not informal street counters, to avoid short-changing and counterfeit notes.
