The Indonesian passport is a mid-lower-tier travel document, ranked 63rd on the 2026 Henley Passport Index with visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to about 70 destinations. Its core strength is regional: as an ASEAN member Indonesia enjoys visa-free entry across Southeast Asia — 30 days each in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia and Laos — plus useful long stays in Latin America (90 days in Chile, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador). The big limitation is that all 29 Schengen countries, the UK, Ireland and most of the Americas and East Asia require a visa arranged in advance, so European and North American trips need real planning. Recent wins have softened that: Brazil went visa-free in mid-2025, South Africa and Canada opened electronic-authorization routes in 2026, and Japan grants 15 days visa-free to e-passport holders who register online first.
Key Strengths
- ASEAN freedom of movement: 30 days visa-free each in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia and Laos, plus 14 days in Myanmar and Vietnam — a whole region reachable on the passport alone
- Strong Latin American window: 90 days visa-free in Chile, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador, plus 30 days in Brazil (new since July 2025)
- Japan visa-free for 15 days via a one-time free JAVES e-passport registration, and 120 days in Fiji — rare long-haul bright spots for an Indonesian passport
- Handy Middle East and Africa access: 30 days in Turkey and Qatar, 90 days in Morocco, a 14-day visa-free window in Oman, and a 90-day eTA route into South Africa (one of only four eTA-eligible nationalities)
Recent Policy Changes
Brazil became visa-free for Indonesians (30 days) on 3 July 2025 on a reciprocity basis, and in 2026 two big electronic routes opened: South Africa added Indonesia to its new eTA (from February 2026, alongside China, India and Mexico) and Canada extended eTA eligibility from 26 May 2026 — though the Canadian eTA only helps travelers who have held a Canadian visa in the last 10 years or hold a valid US visa. On the downside, Vietnam reduced the visa-free stay for Indonesians from 30 to 14 days effective 15 July 2026, the UAE’s new visa-on-arrival (from 25 June 2026) is conditional on holding a foreign residence permit, and Thailand cut its 60-day exemption to 30 days (Cabinet decision 19 May 2026). Europe’s EES biometric checks have been rolling out since 12 October 2025 and paid ETIAS is expected late 2026, but neither changes the fact that Indonesians still need a Schengen visa.

Tips for Indonesian Passport Holders
Travel tips for Indonesian travelers
- •Several "visa-free" entries need online pre-clearance before you fly: Japan’s JAVES e-passport registration, Kenya’s eTA, South Africa’s new eTA and Sri Lanka’s ETA — none is a visa, but all must be approved in advance
- •All 29 Schengen countries plus the UK and Ireland require a visa — the upside is that a Schengen visa for Indonesians is now issued with up to 5-year validity on a second, well-documented application
- •Vietnam cut Indonesians’ visa-free stay from 30 to 14 days on 15 July 2026 — for a longer Vietnam trip, apply for the 90-day e-visa at evisa.gov.vn instead of relying on the waiver
- •Indonesia taxes residents on worldwide income and uses a 183-day physical-presence test for tax residency — if you base yourself abroad long-term, track your days in Indonesia and keep your NPWP/records straight to avoid an unexpected resident-taxpayer status
