Indonesia visa for Chinese citizens
Visa on arrival
🇨🇳 Chinese passport → 🇮🇩 Indonesia: a visa on arrival is issued at the border.
How it works
You get the visa at the border: land with your passport, a photo if required, and the fee (card or exact cash). Queues vary — an onward ticket and hotel address speed things up.
Heads-up: Indonesia commonly asks for proof of onward travel (airline check-in and on arrival).
Before the airport: run the "Will I board?" checklist for this route →
Beyond Indonesia: the China passport
The 🇨🇳 China passport ranks #105 of 199 worldwide, entering 83 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (see the world ranking).
Also visa-free on the China passport: 🇹🇭 Thailand (60 days), 🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates (30 days), 🇸🇬 Singapore (30 days) — all 83 open destinations.
Going the other way? Indonesian citizens visiting China need a visa arranged in advance.
