VISA IN MISSION ABROAD

Citizens of countries neither on the Visa on arrival nor Visa-Free lists are required to apply for a visa overseas before travelling to Indonesia. Nationals of all countries planning to stay for more than 30 days in Indonesia also have to apply for the appropriate visa (tourist, business, social-cultural, etc.) at an overseas Indonesian Consulate or Foreign Mission before departing for Indonesia.
Citizens of Israel may not enter Indonesia on their passports. Business travelers from Eastern European countries are given a one-month, non-extendable visa allowing them to travel freely within the country. Visitors from Hong Kong can get 30-day visas for group travel (minimum five people) from the Indonesian Consulate in Hong Kong.
All visitors must possess a passport valid for at least six months after their arrival date in Indonesia. Immigration officials reserve the right to deny entry to any visitor who, in their opinion, is not properly dressed or groomed (long hair is okay), lacks the proper funds, or "may endanger the country's security, peace, and stability or the public health and morals." These unfortunate undesirables will receive a transit visa upon arrival that allows them to hang out at the airport until the first available flight out. If you stay longer than three months in Indonesia on any visa, you must "register as an alien," pay Rp1,500 (plus Rp400 for two forms), and be fingerprinted. After residing in Indonesia six months, any foreign resident wishing to leave the country must obtain an exit permit and pay a "foreign fiscal tax" of Rp250,000. This tax constitutes an advance payment of income tax. Only the diplomatic corps, members of international aid organizations, airline personnel, and government-sponsored persons are exempt.
Finally, note that as in most Third World countries, if a Western man marries an Indonesian woman he is granted no special residency status; he must leave the country every two months and return each time as a tourist when he'll receive the usual entry stamp. This is not the case when a Western woman marries a Balinese man. She is able to obtain a residency visa, subject to renewal every six months or so.
For help with immigration problems or requests, go to the main immigration office in the Renon Complex, Niti Mandala, Jl. DI Panjaitan, Denpasar (tel. 0361-227828). Another immigration office - convenient for visitors who stay in Kuta, Nusa Dua, or Jimbaran - is near the airport on Jl. Raya I Gusti Ngurah Rai, Tuban (tel. 62361-751.038; 751-011 Ext: 1212, 2184). Both offices are open Mon-Thurs. 07.00-13.00, Friday 07.00-11.00, Saturday 07.00-12.00. You may also go to any one of Indonesia's 74 other immigration offices.
