Indonesia Visit Visa for Pakistanis 2026: How to Get the C1 Tourist eVisa for Bali Online
Bali’s beaches, Jakarta’s skyline and the green rice terraces of Ubud are firmly on the wish list of many Pakistani travellers — and the good news is that Indonesia is one of the few long-haul destinations you can arrange entirely online, with no embassy visit and no interview. Pakistani passport holders are not eligible for Indonesia’s visa-free entry or visa on arrival, but the C1 Tourist eVisa — applied for on Indonesia’s official immigration portal — gives you a generous 60-day stay and is one of the simplest fully digital visa processes available to us. Here is how it works in 2026.
What is the C1 Tourist eVisa?
The C1 is Indonesia’s electronic tourist visa, issued by the Directorate General of Immigration for tourism, family visits and short leisure stays. Indonesia renumbered its visa categories, so if you’ve read older guides mentioning the B211A visa — the C1 is its replacement. It is a single-entry visa granting 60 days of stay from the date you enter, and it can be extended in-country (each extension adds 60 days) up to a maximum of around 180 days total. The entire application happens online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id — the only official website. Avoid look-alike third-party portals that charge inflated “service fees”.
Can Pakistanis get visa on arrival in Indonesia?
No. Indonesia’s visa on arrival and visa-free entry lists do not include Pakistan, so you must have an approved eVisa before boarding your flight. Airlines check this at check-in in Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad. The positive side: unlike a Schengen or UK application, there is no biometrics appointment, no interview and no need to courier your passport anywhere — the visa arrives as a PDF by email.
Documents you need
The C1 application is refreshingly short. Prepare clean, clear scans of the following before you start:
- Passport valid 6+ months beyond arrival, with 2 blank pages
- Passport-size photo on a white background
- Bank statement (last 3 months) as a PDF
- Return or onward flight booking
- Hotel booking or host address in Indonesia
- A working email address and debit/credit card for payment
As with every visa, your bank statement should show a stable, genuine balance that comfortably covers your trip. Never submit doctored statements — immigration authorities share data internationally, and a fake document can earn you a long-term ban.
How to apply, step by step
Create an account at evisa.imigrasi.go.id, go to “My Application” and add a new application. Select your nationality, choose “General, Family or Social” as the main purpose, then “Tourism, Family Visit, and Transit” as the sub-purpose, and pick the C1 (60-day) visa. Upload your passport bio page and photo, fill in your personal, passport and Indonesian address details, attach your bank statement PDF and pay the fee by card. Processing typically takes around 3–10 working days (about 5 on average), and the visa is emailed to you. Print a copy and save the PDF on your phone for immigration on arrival.
Fees and overstay penalties
The visa fee is paid in Indonesian rupiah on the official portal at the end of your application; third-party guides quote figures ranging from roughly USD 35–70 for tourist-class visas depending on type, so treat the amount shown at checkout on the official portal as final. What is not negotiable is overstaying: Indonesia charges a fine of IDR 1,000,000 (roughly PKR 17,000) per day of overstay, and overstays beyond 60 days can mean detention, deportation and a re-entry ban. Set a reminder for your exit date, or apply for an extension at a local immigration office well before your 60 days run out.
