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

The e-VOA lets a Finnish passport holder stay in Indonesia for up to 30 days from the date of arrival, on a single entry. It does not allow extensions or a second entry on the same visa.

Arrive

Leave

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.

One visit only: The e-VOA is single entry. Leaving Indonesia and coming back needs a fresh e-VOA, not a re-use of the old one.
No extension beyond 30 days: To stay longer than 30 days, you must apply for a residence permit or a different visa at an immigration office before the e-VOA expires. It cannot simply be extended.
Overstaying has consequences: Staying past the 30 days brings a daily fine. Overstaying more than 60 days can lead to detention, deportation or a ban on returning to Indonesia.

Your document checklist

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

Passport-style photograph
Recent passport-size photo, JPG, JPEG or PNG, maximum 200 KB. A standard Finnish passport photo can be rescanned to meet this size.
Mastercard, Visa or JCB card
Must have 3D Secure enabled and accept international transactions. Check this with your Finnish bank first. The card need not be in the applicant's name.

The application, step by step

2
Prepare your documents
Scan your passport's biodata page and a passport photo, both under 200 KB in JPG, JPEG or PNG. Have a Mastercard, Visa or JCB card with 3D Secure ready.

Questions Finnish travellers actually ask

Yes. Finland is on Indonesia's e-VOA list, so Finnish passport holders apply online for an electronic Visa on Arrival before flying, rather than entering visa-free.

No. Indonesia's visa-free entry mostly covers ASEAN countries plus a short list of others. Finland is not on it, so Finnish travellers use the e-VOA instead.

The e-VOA is designed to be applied for online before you fly. Applying in advance avoids queuing at the airport counter and lets you fix document issues before travelling.

The official requirement is 6 months of validity from arrival. There is no separate e-passport condition stated for the e-VOA.

No. The e-VOA covers tourism, business meetings, government visits, goods purchasing and transit. Working in Indonesia needs a different visa.

The e-VOA and visa-free facility only apply at named airports, seaports and land crossings. Arriving elsewhere means a different visa is needed.

No. The e-VOA cannot be extended. To stay longer than 30 days, apply for a residence permit or another visa at an immigration office before it expires.

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

Your Finnish 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 Finland — 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 Finland

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).

EUR

IDR

€1 ≈ Rp17,561 · indicative mid-market rate, possibly a few days old

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.
