Understanding e-Visa Validity

The validity of your Indonesia e-Visa determines how long you can use it to enter Indonesia and how long you can stay in the country. Understanding these timeframes is crucial for planning your trip and avoiding immigration issues.

Indonesia e-Visa Validity

Key Validity Concepts

When discussing Indonesia e-Visa validity, it's important to understand these three distinct concepts:

Visa Validity Period

The timeframe during which you can enter Indonesia using the e-Visa

Duration of Stay

How long you can remain in Indonesia once you've entered

Entry Type

Whether the visa allows single or multiple entries during its validity period

Important: The validity period of your e-Visa begins on the issue date, not on the date you enter Indonesia. Make sure to plan your trip within this validity window.
