Volcanic mountain peaks, secluded beaches, the rich cultural heritage of Bali, and lush tropical rainforests—Indonesia is a true paradise for international travelers. Every year, thousands of Bangladeshi tourists travel to explore the breathtaking beauty of Indonesia.
Are you planning a trip to Bali or Jakarta this year? The first crucial task on your checklist is securing your Indonesia Tourist Visa.
While many believe getting a visa for Indonesia is complicated, the truth is quite the opposite. By following the right procedures, you can successfully process your e-Visa online or submit your application directly to the embassy without relying on third-party agencies.
Here is your complete, step-by-step roadmap—from preparing your file to completing your online application and collecting your stamped passport.
Whether you are applying online or submitting a physical file at the embassy, ensure you have the following documents neatly organized:
Original Passport (& All Previous Passports): Your passport must have at least 6 months of remaining validity from your travel date and a minimum of 2 blank pages.
Passport Photographs: Two recent color passport-size photos (35mm x 45mm or 4cm x 6cm) taken against a plain white background.
Confirmed Return Flight Tickets: A round-trip flight reservation showing guaranteed departure from and return to Bangladesh.
Hotel Booking: Confirmed hotel or resort reservations for the entire duration of your stay in Indonesia.
Proof of Financial Capability:
Updated 6-month bank statement showing a healthy balance and consistent transaction history (a minimum balance of BDT 150,000 to 200,000 per applicant is recommended).
Official Bank Solvency Certificate.
Proof of Profession:
Employees: No-Objection Certificate (NOC) on official company letterhead, visiting card, and office ID card copy.
Business Owners: Updated Trade License (translated into English and notarized) and official company pad.
Students: Valid student ID card or proof of enrollment.
Cover Letter: A well-crafted cover letter addressed to the visa officer detailing your purpose of visit, travel itinerary, and assurance of return to Bangladesh.
Applying online through the official Indonesia Immigration portal is fast and convenient:
If you prefer obtaining a physical visa sticker stamped on your passport:
Prepare Your Folder: Organize all documents listed in the checklist above into a clear file folder.
Visit the Embassy: Go to the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia located in Gulshan-2, Dhaka, during application submission hours (typically 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM).
Interview & Biometrics: In some cases, the visa officer may ask a few brief questions regarding your travel plan.
Fee Payment & Receipt: Pay the visa processing fee in cash or bank deposit as instructed and collect your payment receipt.
Passport Collection: Processing generally takes 5 to 7 working days. Bring your original receipt to collect your passport once it is ready.
Consistent Financial History: Avoid depositing a sudden, large sum of money right before printing your bank statement. Steady transaction records are far more credible.
Translate Bengali Documents: Any local document issued in Bengali (such as Trade Licenses or Marriage Certificates) must be officially translated into English and notarized.
Match Passport Particulars: Ensure all spellings, names, and passport numbers match 100% across your application form, flight bookings, and bank documents.
Bangladesh Airport Clearance: On your departure day at Dhaka or Chittagong airport, immigration officers may ask to see your return ticket, hotel booking, and proof of endorsed foreign currency. Keep these easily accessible in your hand luggage.
