Planning a trip to Bali? If you’re a Pakistani citizen, you’ll need to secure a visa before you can enter Indonesia. Here’s a rundown of what you need to know:
Visa on Arrival (VOA) Not Available
Unlike many nationalities, Pakistanis cannot get a visa upon arrival in Indonesia. This means you’ll need to apply for a visa beforehand at the Indonesian Embassy or Consulate in Pakistan.
The Visa You Need: 211A Visit Visa
The most common visa for Pakistani tourists is the 211A Visit Visa. This visa is valid for 60 days and can be extended twice for an additional 60 days each, allowing a total stay of up to 180 days in Indonesia.
Visa Application Requirements
The specific requirements for a 211A visa application may vary, so it’s always best to check with the Indonesian Embassy or Consulate in Pakistan for the latest information. However, here’s a general list of what you can expect to submit:
- Completed visa application form
- Two recent passport-sized photographs
- Original passport with validity of at least 6 months beyond your intended stay and photocopies of the biodata page and any previous Indonesian visas
- Photocopy of your Pakistani National Identity Card (CNIC)
- Proof of onward or return flight ticket
- Evidence of sufficient funds for your stay in Indonesia (bank statements, sponsor letter, etc.)
- Depending on your employment status, a letter from your employer or business documents might be required.
Processing Time and Fees
Processing times for visa applications can vary, so factor this in when planning your trip. It’s advisable to apply well in advance of your travel date. Visa fees are also subject to change, so be sure to confirm the latest costs with the embassy or consulate.
