Visa-free countries for Indonesians in 2026: the full list

With an Indonesian passport you can visit 107 countries and territories without going to an embassy. 45 of them are fully visa-free: you show your passport at the border and walk in.

The list below uses the same data as our Indonesia passport page, so the two always match. When we confirm a rule change with an official source, both update together.

Four ways in without an embassy

• Visa-free: no application. Show your passport, and usually a return ticket, at the border.
• Visa on arrival: you get the visa at the airport or border when you land. A fee may apply.
• eTA: a short online travel authorisation, applied for before you fly.
• eVisa: a full visa, but you apply on the official government website. No embassy visit.

All four count as "no embassy". Only the last two need an online application before you travel.

What changed for Indonesians in 2025 and 2026

Visa lists age quickly. These are the changes we have confirmed since the start of 2025:

• Canada: eTA with a US visa (since 26 May 2026). Indonesians who hold a valid US non-immigrant visa, or a Canadian visitor visa from the last 10 years, can fly to or through Canada with an electronic travel authorisation instead of a visa. This works for air travel only.
• Thailand: 30 days instead of 60 (since 15 September 2026). Indonesians still enter Thailand visa-free, but the stay is now 30 days. At land borders, the exemption can be used at most twice a year. See Thailand's new visa rules.
• South Africa: online ETA (since 1 October 2025). Indonesians apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation at eta.dha.gov.za, for stays of up to 90 days per visit. South Africa no longer issues consular visitor visas to them, and the fee has been ZAR 500 since 17 August 2026. See Africa's visa changes in 2026.
• Albania: e-Visa again (since 1 January 2026). Indonesians were visa-free only under Albania's seasonal exemption of 15 April to 31 December 2025. The 2026 seasonal decision covers only Saudi Arabia and Qatar, so Indonesians need an Albanian e-Visa again.
• Cabo Verde: visa needed before you travel (since 1 January 2026). Indonesia is on the list of nationalities that can no longer get a visa on arrival. Get the visa from a Cabo Verde embassy or consulate.
• Nicaragua: consulted visa (since 16 February 2026). Indonesia is not on the exempt list of Nicaragua's Disposición 002-2026, so Nicaragua's migration authority must approve your visa before you travel. See Nicaragua's new visa list.
• Ghana: eVisa (since 25 May 2026). Visitors who need a visa now apply on Ghana's official eVisa portal, evisa.immigration.gov.gh, with standard processing within 96 hours.

Also worth knowing: Oman puts Indonesia in its "First Group", which is visa-free for 14 days. The old paper visa on arrival no longer exists.

Hold a US, UK or Schengen visa? More doors open

Some countries relax their rules for Indonesians who already hold a valid US, UK or Schengen visa or residence permit. A Schengen visa opens 14 extra destinations, a US visa 10 and a UK visa 7. These are the extra destinations a US visa opens, Canada included:

Each country has its own conditions, such as a multiple-entry visa or one you have already used. They are listed with their official sources on the held-visa pages: Schengen visa, US visa, UK visa and Schengen residence permit.

Changing planes on the way

Indonesians can change planes in more places without a transit visa than most travellers in this series:

• Schengen area: no airport transit visa is needed in any Schengen airport, as long as you stay in the international transit area.
• United Kingdom: Indonesians don't need a direct airside transit visa to change planes in a UK airport without passing border control.
• Australia: you can transit without a visa if you arrive by air, leave for a third country by air within 8 hours on a confirmed ticket, hold the documents for your destination and stay in the transit lounge. Collecting bags or clearing immigration for any reason needs an Australian visa.
• United States: there is no airside transit. You need a US visa even to change planes, and a valid US visitor (B) visa covers it.
• Canada: you normally need a Canadian visa or, with a US visa, an eTA to transit. Canada's Transit Without Visa programme is an exception: with a valid US visa, flying to or from the US through Toronto Pearson (Terminal 1), Vancouver, Calgary or Winnipeg on a participating airline, staying in the international transit area and leaving within 24 hours.

Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Singapore have no transit visa for anyone in the transit area. The "Changing planes" section of the Indonesia passport page keeps these rules up to date.

How we keep this list honest

Our base dataset is a public list of visa requirements for every passport. We compare the Indonesian passport with lists that cite IATA Timatic, the database airlines check at boarding. Whenever they disagree, we change our data only after confirming the rule with an official government source or a legal text. A few destinations are still being checked, so treat any single entry as a starting point and confirm it before you travel.

Rules can change without notice. Before you book, confirm with the destination's official immigration website or embassy.
