We monitor your case daily and alert you to any requests.
4. Can I apply if I’m on a UAE visit visa?
No. The Indonesian Consulate only accepts applications from holders of a valid UAE residence visa** (minimum 3 months). Visit visa holders must apply from their home country.
Financial & Documentation
5. Is AED 8,000 the minimum bank balance?
Yes — for stamped visas, the Consulate requires minimum AED 8,000** in a 3-month stamped statement. Consistent balance > large one-time deposits. E-Visa applicants are exempt but recommended to include.
6. What makes a strong NOC letter?
The Consulate prefers:
- Company letterhead & stamp
- Your full name, passport number, and monthly salary**
- Clear approval for travel to Indonesia
- Addressed to: “Consulate of Indonesia – Dubai”
We review and refine your NOC — free of charge.
Bali & Tourism
7. Can I visit Bali with the e-Visa?
Yes — the e-Visa is valid for entry at all Indonesian international airports**, including Ngurah Rai (DPS) in Bali, Soekarno-Hatta (CGK) in Jakarta, and others.
8. Can I extend my visa in Bali?
Yes — at the Immigration Office (Kantor Imigrasi)** in Denpasar or Jakarta. Required: valid reason, passport, current visa, and fee (~IDR 350,000/~AED 85). Max extension: 30 days.
9. Is travel insurance required?
Not for the visa — but highly recommended**. Bali’s private hospitals (e.g., BIMC, Siloam) require upfront payment. A basic policy (~AED 90) covers medical, evacuation, and trip interruption.
Health & Vaccinations
10. Is Yellow Fever vaccination required?
Only if arriving from (or transiting >12 hours in) a Yellow Fever–risk country (e.g., Kenya, Ethiopia, Brazil). For direct UAE flights — not required**.
11. Do I need malaria prophylaxis?
Only for rural/forest areas (e.g., Kalimantan, Papua). Bali, Jakarta, and major tourist zones are low-risk. Consult your doctor 4–6 weeks pre-travel.
Family & Group Travel
12. Can my family apply together?
Yes — but each person (including infants) needs a separate application**. We offer family discounts**: AED 120/service per additional member.
13. Do children need their own visa?
Yes — even newborns. Required: birth certificate (English translation), photo, and copy of parents’ IDs.
Business & Investment
14. What’s needed for a business visa?
Same as stamped visa — plus:
- Invitation letter from Indonesian company (on letterhead)
- Copy of host’s KTP (Indonesian ID) or business license
We verify and format these — free of charge.
15. Can investors get longer visas?
Yes — via the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM)**, you can apply for a 2-year multiple-entry Business Visa. Required: investment plan, company docs, and approval letter. We assist with documentation.
Entry & Compliance

Have ready:
- Passport with visa/e-Visa
- Return flight ticket
- Hotel booking (for first 2 nights)
- Optional but helpful: Proof of funds (~USD 50/day)
Immigration is efficient — rarely checks beyond visa and return ticket.

Fines: IDR 1,000,000 (~AED 240) + IDR 300,000/day** (~AED 72/day). Overstays >60 days may lead to deportation and future entry bans. Always extend before expiry.
