Indonesia eVisa for German Citizens

Yes. German passport holders need a visa for tourism, business, family visits, or transit through immigration. Bali is a province of Indonesia (in the way Bayern is a Bundesland in Germany), so the same eVOA applies whether you land at Denpasar (DPS), Jakarta (CGK), Yogyakarta (YIA), or Lombok (LOP).

All-in USD pricing: Standard $99 (72 business hours), Priority $139 (48 hours), Express $179 (12 hours). One transparent fee, no add-ons, no surcharge at checkout, no Mehrwertsteuer surprise.

Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, Apple Pay, and Google Pay all process cleanly in USD. Plain Girocard (Maestro/V-Pay) is not accepted, use a co-branded Visa or Mastercard.

The eVOA is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, which is your window to enter Indonesia. Once you arrive, you can stay 30 days. Single entry. Extendable once in-country for another 30 days, taking total stay to 60 days.

The eVOA is fully active at Ngurah Rai (Bali / DPS) and Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta / CGK), the two airports nearly all German itineraries pass through. It is also accepted at Yogyakarta (YIA), Surabaya (SUB), Lombok (LOP), Manado, Medan, Batam, Bintan, and the other authorised entry points across the country.

The Auswärtiges Amt lists most tourist zones, including Bali, Lombok, Yogyakarta, and Java, with no general Reisewarnung. Specific remote regions in Papua and Sulawesi carry separate advisories. Register on the ELEFAND list before flying.

Travel insurance is not required for the eVOA, but the GKV does not cover treatment outside the EU. A medical evacuation from Bali can run into the tens of thousands of dollars, so most Germans add an Auslandskrankenversicherung from ADAC, ERGO, or HanseMerkur.

Yes for hotels and larger shops, particularly Visa and Mastercard. For warungs, Bluebird taxis, and markets you'll need IDR cash from any Bali ATM. Notify your bank before flying, and pick a card without Auslandseinsatzgebühr.

If you stay airside in the international transit area without passing immigration, you do not need an Indonesian visa. If you exit immigration in Indonesia for any reason, including overnight layovers in Jakarta or Bali, you do. The eVOA covers transit purposes too, so when in doubt, get the eVOA. Cheaper than missing your onward Anschluss over a paperwork question.

Yes. All personal data is processed under DSGVO/GDPR rules, with documented retention windows and a clear right-to-deletion path. Passport scans are encrypted at rest, transmitted only to authorised Indonesian immigration channels, and removed from active storage after the visa is issued. Full details in our Privacy Policy.

No, they are separate. The eVOA is your entry visa to Indonesia. The Bali Tourism Levy is a separate IDR 150,000 (approximately $10 USD) fee charged by the province of Bali to all international visitors. We do not collect or process the levy. Pay it directly at lovebali.baliprov.go.id before you fly, or at the DPS arrival kiosk.

We recommend applying 3 to 5 days before your flight. Processing takes 12 to 72 business hours depending on the tier you choose. Around the staggered Sommerferien (June to September), the Weihnachtsferien, and Pfingsten, applying a week ahead is sensible because last-minute volume spikes.

Denials are rare (around 2%) thanks to our pre-submission expert review. If Indonesian immigration declines your file, our team walks you through the reason in writing and advises whether a re-application makes sense. See our refund policy for the details.
