Indonesia visa for Mexicans: do you need one?

Visa rules for a tourist visit

Mexico's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores, SRE) says Mexicans require a visa on arrival (VoA) to enter Indonesia as tourists, and gives the fee as 500,000 IDR (no update date shown on its page). Mexico is on the eligible list on Indonesia's official e-VOA page, so you can also apply online before you travel. It is not on Indonesia's visa-free list published by the Ministry of Tourism.

Indonesia's Directorate General of Immigration confirms the fee of IDR 500,000 for the visa on arrival and e-VOA, single entry and valid for a 30-day stay, with a visa validity of 90 days (no date shown on the page, checked 27 Oct 2026). Card payment fees may be added.

How long you can stay

The visa gives you 30 days. The SRE says it can be extended once, and that it cannot be converted into an ITAS (limited stay permit) or any other stay permit.

Indonesia's official e-VOA page says a longer stay needs an extension at an Immigration Office, and that you cannot get a new visa on arrival while you are in Indonesia. The Yogyakarta Immigration Office adds that the extension is for another 30 days, for a total stay of 60 days, costs IDR 500,000 and can be requested from 14 days before your stay expires (page posted 24 Aug 2022, updated 4 Nov 2025).

What to have ready

• A passport valid for at least 6 months on entry and until the end of your trip, according to the SRE. Indonesia's official page counts 6 months from the date of arrival, so the SRE's rule is the safer one to follow. Emergency passports are not accepted (SRE).
• A return flight, which the SRE lists. Indonesia's e-VOA page also advises carrying a printed return ticket because an immigration officer may ask for it.
• Enough money to pay for your stay, as the SRE advises. It gives no amount.
• The visa fee of IDR 500,000, paid online for the e-VOA or at the counter on arrival.
• If you visit Bali, the Bali tourist levy of Rp 150,000 per person (SRE and the Bali Provincial Government), paid once per trip, cashless, through Love Bali or at the counters at Bali's airport and port.

The arrival form

You also need All Indonesia, the official arrival declaration that combines immigration, customs and health questions. It is free and mandatory, you fill it in within the 72 hours before you arrive, and we have a separate page that walks you through it.

Recent and upcoming changes

• The SRE says the All Indonesia declaration has been mandatory since 1 Sep 2025.
• The Bali tourist levy is set by Bali Provincial Regulation No. 2 of 2025, which amends Regulation No. 6 of 2023, and by Governor Regulation No. 25 of 2025.
