Singapore passport holders can visit Indonesia for 30 days without a visa, by plane to Bali or by ferry to Batam. This Indonesia Visa Guide is for Singaporeans, PRs, and pass holders who plan to go in the next few months. It covers the free stay, the paid visa, the new arrival card, and the Bali levy.
You also get each fee in rupiah and Singapore dollars, plus a short list to check the night before. We checked each rule with official sources in October 2026, so please check again before you book. One change is coming, since the visa on arrival fee is set to rise soon.
Singapore citizens can enter Indonesia visa-free for up to 30 days, but they cannot extend that stay. Every traveller must also send the free All Indonesia arrival card in the 3 days before landing. For a longer trip, buy the e-VOA for IDR 500,000 (about S$36) instead. Bali also charges a separate IDR 150,000 levy, about S$11, on top of any visa.
Indonesia Visa Rules for Singaporeans in 2026
Singapore is on Indonesia’s visa-free list with its ASEAN neighbours. Your passport is enough for a short holiday. Singapore’s consular notice on travel to Indonesia says you can pick one of two entry types at the counter. The free option gives 30 days, while the paid visa on arrival gives 30 days plus one more month.
The table shows the four options Singapore travellers ask about most, with fees we checked in October 2026:
| Entry option | Best for | Stay allowed | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visa-free entry | Holidays and family visits | 30 days, no extension | Free |
| e-VOA or VOA (B1) | Trips that may run past 30 days | 30 days, plus 30 more | IDR 500,000 (about S$36) |
| C1 visit visa | Long holidays | 60 days, up to 180 | From IDR 1,000,000 (about S$72) |
| E33G remote worker visa | People paid by a firm abroad | 1 year | IDR 7,000,000 (about S$500) |
For a normal holiday of 30 days or less, the free entry is all you need. The e-VOA only makes sense when your trip might stretch, because the free stay cannot be extended. Agents and older embassy pages quote different C1 fees, so check the price on the eVisa site before you pay.
Every Indonesia Visa Guide should also point out the papers that officers may ask to see. Your passport needs at least six months left from your arrival date. You also need a return ticket or a ticket out to another country. The Indonesian Embassy in The Hague lists proof of health cover too, so keep your policy on your phone.
The free stay covers tourism and family visits, but it does not cover paid work of any kind. Staying too long costs IDR 1,000,000 a day, about S$72, and long overstays can get you sent home.
How to Use This Indonesia Visa Guide
A smooth arrival comes down to five things: your stay limit, the arrival card, family visas, the Bali levy, and your visa type. Work through this Indonesia Visa Guide in that order, and you should clear Ngurah Rai, Soekarno-Hatta, or Batam Centre with no surprises.
The 30-Day Visa-Free Stay and Its Limits
The free stay starts the day you arrive and lasts up to 30 days. There is no way to extend it. You also cannot switch it to another visa once you arrive. Plan your flight or ferry home before you leave Changi, and keep the booking on your phone.
Many of us pay for the e-VOA on a long Bali trip, because you can extend it once by 30 days. That brings the total stay to 60 days. You must ask for the extra time while your first 30 days are still valid. The visa on arrival works at 16 airports, 91 seaports, and seven land border posts.
Buy the e-VOA online before you fly if there is any chance you will stay longer. A visa bought at the airport may soon cost more, as we explain in the next section.
All Indonesia Arrival Card Step by Step
Every traveller must now send the free All Indonesia arrival card, and that includes children and babies. It became a must at all airports and seaports on 1 October 2025. The card replaced the old e-CD customs form and the SATUSEHAT health pass. Use only the official All Indonesia portal or its app, in five steps:
- Open the portal or the All Indonesia app no earlier than three days before you land.
- Enter your passport details, arrival date, flight or ferry number, and hotel address.
- Answer the customs and health questions, and add family members as a group if you like.
- Submit the form and check your email for the QR code, which usually arrives straight away.
- Show the QR code with your passport at the immigration desk, then again at customs.
This part of any Indonesia Visa Guide changes the fastest, and copycat sites still charge money for the free card. Real government sites there end in go.id, so close any page that asks you to pay for it. The card is not a visa, and it does not let you in on its own.
Indonesia also plans to raise the visa on arrival fee, though no start date has been set. VisasNews reported on 12 August 2026, citing the ANTARA news agency, that the e-VOA would rise to IDR 750,000. That is about S$54. A visa bought at the airport would cost IDR 1,000,000, about S$72, to push more people to apply online. As of our October check, the official fee was still IDR 500,000.
Residents on other passports fill in the same card, but their visa rules may differ, as shown below.
Indonesia e-VOA for Singapore PRs and Pass Holders
Your passport sets your entry rules, not your blue IC or work pass. Malaysian, Thai, Filipino, and Vietnamese passport holders also get 30 days free under the same ASEAN deal. Indian, Chinese, British, and Australian passport holders are among about 90 groups who can buy the visa on arrival.
Apply on the official Indonesian eVisa site a few days before you fly, and pay by Visa, Mastercard, or JCB. Save the approval on your phone, since check-in staff or border officers may ask for it. A partner site run by VFS adds a fee of IDR 230,000, about S$17, so the government site costs less.
Singapore PRs from VOA countries get one extra perk on short ferry trips across the strait. They can visit Batam, Bintan, and Balai Karimun for up to four days without a VOA, based on visa notes from Sindo Ferry. Residents whose passports are not on the VOA list need an e-Visa first, often through a sponsor in Indonesia.
Bali Tourist Levy and Customs Rules
Bali charges each foreign tourist a one-time levy of IDR 150,000, or about S$11, on top of any visa. Children are not exempt, and Singapore citizens pay it even though they need no visa. Pay ahead on the official Love Bali website, then save the QR voucher that comes by email.
You pay the levy only once per trip, even if you fly from Bali to Lombok and come back. Staff check vouchers at Ngurah Rai Airport, so keep yours ready next to your arrival card. Only about 35% of visitors paid it over the past two years. Skipping it can still get you turned away at some tourist sights.
Customs rules apply at every port, and the All Indonesia card now holds your customs form. You can bring in 200 cigarettes and one litre of alcohol with no duty to pay. Cash worth more than IDR 100 million, about S$7,200, must be declared when you arrive.
Which Indonesia Visa Fits Your Trip
Each visa suits a different kind of trip, so match your plans to this list:
- Visa-free entry: free and good for 30 days, which covers most Singapore holidays.
- e-VOA: IDR 500,000 for 30 days, with one extension for flexible trips.
- C1 visit visa: 60 days at first, extendable twice to 180, with a USD 2,000 bank statement.
- C2 business visa: 60 days for meetings and deals, from IDR 2,000,000, about S$144.
- E33G remote worker visa: one year, with proof of at least USD 60,000 in yearly income.
Remote work is where most people get caught out. The rules count work by where you sit, so even work for clients back home breaks tourist rules. For months of work from a Canggu cafe, pick the E33G.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which entry option is best for Singaporeans?
Our pick in this Indonesia Visa Guide is the free visa-free entry for any trip of 30 days or less. The e-VOA at IDR 500,000 is our second choice if your plans might run past 30 days. Long-stay visitors and remote workers should look at the C1 or E33G visa instead.
How long can Singaporeans stay in Indonesia?
Singapore citizens can stay up to 30 days on the free entry, and that stay cannot be extended. An e-VOA also gives 30 days but can be extended once, for 60 days in total. A C1 visit visa allows 60 days at first and up to 180 days with two extensions.
Do I need the arrival card for Batam or Bintan?
Yes, the All Indonesia card covers ferry trips as well as flights. Terminals such as Batam Centre, Harbour Bay, Sekupang, and Bandar Bentan Telani all ask for it. Fill it in the night before your ferry from HarbourFront or Tanah Merah, and save the QR code offline.
Is the Bali tourist levy the same as a visa?
No, the IDR 150,000 levy is a separate tourism charge set by the Bali government. Visa-free Singaporeans still pay it, and so do the children who travel with them. Pay only on the Love Bali site, which ends in baliprov.go.id, to avoid fake sellers.
What changes should travellers watch after October 2026?
The biggest change is the planned rise in the visa on arrival fee, which has no start date yet. Rules for the All Indonesia card and the Bali levy may also change with little notice. We will update this Indonesia Visa Guide when the new fees take effect or any form changes.
Conclusion
For most Singaporeans, a short trip to Bali or Batam needs very little paperwork. A valid passport, an onward ticket, and the free arrival card cover a 30-day stay, plus the levy for Bali. PRs and pass holders on other passports should buy the e-VOA online while it still costs IDR 500,000.
Use this Indonesia Visa Guide to sort out three things before you pay: your entry type, your arrival card date, and the Bali levy. If your trip goes on to Bangkok, our Thailand Visa Guide covers the next border. Bookmark this Indonesia Visa Guide too, because we update it when Indonesia changes a fee, form, or rule.
