Liechtenstein travellers to Indonesia: visa on arrival covers 30 days, extendable once

Indonesia has published an official list of 97 countries whose citizens are eligible for a visa on arrival (VoA), and Liechtenstein is among them. The list was issued by the country's Directorate General of Immigration and covers nationalities across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas and Oceania.

Key facts

• 97 countries are eligible for Indonesia's visa on arrival, including Liechtenstein
• The visa is classified as a B1 visa: single entry, initial stay of up to 30 days
• It can be extended once for a further 30 days, giving a maximum stay of 60 days
• Eligible travellers get the visa on arrival instead of applying before departure
• The full eligibility list is published on the Directorate General of Immigration's website

What is changing?

Indonesia's immigration authority has released the official list of nationalities that qualify for a visa on arrival. Eligible travellers can obtain the relevant visa when they enter the country rather than applying for it in advance.

The list spans several regions. Ten African countries are included: South Africa, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Morocco, Mozambique, Seychelles, Mauritius, Egypt and Tunisia. Liechtenstein appears alongside other European states such as Switzerland, Austria, Germany and France.

Who is affected?

Citizens of the 97 listed countries and territories — including Liechtenstein — can use the visa on arrival route when entering Indonesia. The published list also includes the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, China, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Hong Kong, among others.

What does the B1 visa allow?

The visa on arrival for eligible nationals is classified as a B1 visa. It is a single-entry permit granting an initial stay of up to 30 days, counted from the date of arrival.

Travellers may apply for one extension of a further 30 days, which allows a maximum stay of 60 days. The B1 visa can also be converted into another type of stay permit through a bridging visa mechanism recognised by Indonesia's immigration authority, giving eligible visitors an option if their circumstances require a change of immigration status while in the country.

The published information does not state a fee for the visa or its extension.

How do I confirm eligibility?

The Directorate General of Immigration advises travellers to consult its official website to check whether their nationality qualifies and to review the applicable visa conditions. The full list of eligible countries is published there.

What this means for travellers

Passport holders from Liechtenstein and the other listed countries can plan to sort out their Indonesian visa at the airport on arrival rather than before flying. Those expecting to stay longer than 30 days should factor in the single 30-day extension, and anyone needing a different status in Indonesia can look at the bridging visa option.

Travellers should check the immigration authority's published list before booking to confirm their nationality is included and to review the conditions that apply to them.
