The 60-day rule, and what it does not mean

Hong Kong passport holders may stay up to 30 days per visit without a visa. The 30 days start on arrival and cannot be extended.

Arrive

Leave

Business trip E-visa: 60 days per visit.

Arrive 1 March

42 of 60 days

1 Mar – 11 Apr: 42 of the 60 days this visa allows in one visit.

Visa-free stay: You may stay up to 30 days from the date you arrive. The limit applies to each entry. Days do not add up across visits.
No extension: Visa-free stays cannot be extended. To stay longer, apply for a residence permit or another visa at an immigration office before your 30 days end.
Entry points: Visa-free entry only works at the named international airports, seaports and land crossings. Arriving elsewhere means a different visa is needed.
Overstaying: Overstaying brings a daily fine. An overstay of more than 60 days can lead to detention, deportation or a ban on future travel to Indonesia.
What the 30 days do not mean: Thirty days is the maximum, not a right. The immigration officer decides the stay on arrival and can refuse entry without giving a reason.

Questions Hong-Kong travellers actually ask

No, not for a visit of up to 30 days. Hong Kong passport holders can enter visa-free. You still need to submit the All Indonesia Arrival Card within 3 days before arrival.

Up to 30 days from the date you arrive, per entry. The stay cannot be extended. For a longer stay, apply for a residence permit or another visa at an immigration office before your 30 days end.

No. The e-VOA is not needed for Hong Kong passport holders on a visit of up to 30 days. You only need the All Indonesia Arrival Card.

Within 3 days before you arrive. You will get a QR code by email. Show it with your passport at the border. Children need one too.

Only the named international airports, seaports and land crossings on the official list. Check the list before you travel. Arriving at an unlisted point means a different visa is needed.

Yes, in practice. A return or onward ticket is checked at the border, and the officer can ask to see it. Entry can be refused without a reason if it is missing.

Overstaying brings a daily fine. An overstay of more than 60 days can lead to detention, deportation or a ban on future travel to Indonesia.

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

Your Hong-Kong plug won't fit. Here's what will.

Type C
Two round pins · 2.5 A
Type F
Two round pins · 16 A

Type C

Indonesia uses type C and F sockets and your plugs are type G. A G-to-C adapter works for the whole trip.

Voltage

230 V · 50 Hz

Against 220 V · 50 Hz at home. Check the label on chargers and appliances: anything marked 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz works in both.

Pack: one type C adapter and a small power strip — hotel rooms rarely have more than two sockets.

Indonesia drives on the left — just like home

Compare traffic side:

Indonesia · left-hand traffic — same as Hong Kong

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.
