Indonesia has expanded its visa-free programme to include six additional nationalities, effective 9 July 2026. Citizens of Turkey, Brazil, Peru, Kazakhstan, Macau, and Belarus may now enter Indonesia without a visa for stays of up to 30 days under Immigration Regulation No. 10/2026, signed by the Directorate General of Immigration.
Who Is Now Covered
The six additions represent a mix of markets: Turkey and Brazil are both high-volume outbound travel nations with established Indonesian tourism demand; Peru and Kazakhstan are smaller-volume additions; while Macau - a special administrative region of China - had previously required a visa despite Chinese citizens from mainland China already being eligible under an earlier expansion. Belarus rounds out the list.
The change brings Indonesia’s total visa-free country list to over 100 nationalities. Visitors from the newly eligible countries can enter through any of Indonesia’s international ports of entry - including Ngurah Rai (Bali), Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta), Juanda (Surabaya), and Kualanamu (Medan) - without pre-arranging a visa.
Conditions of Entry
The 30-day visa-free allowance is non-extendable under the current regulation. Travellers who wish to stay longer must either depart and re-enter or apply for a different visa class, such as the B211A visitor visa on arrival (which can be extended once for a further 30 days). Onward or return tickets may be requested at immigration.
The regulation does not change requirements for work, business, or study - those categories still require the relevant sponsored visa regardless of nationality.
Context
Indonesia has been gradually expanding its visa-free list since 2023 as part of a broader effort to grow international arrivals toward the government’s target of 22 million foreign visitors per year by 2028. Bali alone received over 6 million international visitors in 2025, a record for the island.
For travellers from the newly eligible countries planning their first visit, our Indonesia practical guide covers entry requirements, customs rules, and what to expect at immigration. The islands section is the starting point for planning where to go - Bali, Lombok, the Gili Islands, Komodo, and Raja Ampat each suit different travel styles. Our Indonesia itineraries cover both one-week Bali-only trips and longer multi-island routes. The things to do section rounds out the picture with the country’s most-booked experiences.
