Do Luxembourgish passport holders need a visa for Indonesia?
By Arun Singh · Destinations Writer, Tripmojo · Updated · Reviewed by Simran Raheja
Yes, but it is a formality you can complete before you fly. Luxembourg is covered by Indonesia’s visa-on-arrival arrangement, which costs 500,000 rupiah and gives 30 days, extendable once inside Indonesia for another 30. You can buy it at the airport counter or, better, apply online beforehand as an e-VoA. Luxembourg is not named individually on the eligibility list, which trips people up: the list covers all European Union member states as a block.

Entry requirements
- A Luxembourg passport valid for at least six months from the date you arrive.
- Either an approved e-VoA obtained online beforehand, or the fee for the visa on arrival at the airport.
- A return or onward ticket and an address for the stay.
- If you are going to Bali, the provincial tourism levy, which is separate from the visa and is paid to the province rather than to immigration.
How the visa works for a Luxembourg passport
Do not go looking for Luxembourg on Indonesia’s published eligibility list. It is not there by name. The list opens with two collective entries, all ASEAN member states and all European Union member states, and Luxembourg falls under the second. This is worth knowing before you conclude you are ineligible and start looking for a consular visa you do not need.
Apply online in advance if you can. Indonesia’s e-VoA is the same permission as the airport sticker, bought through the official immigration portal before departure, and it means arriving with the visa already issued rather than queueing at a payment counter before immigration.
Either way the fee is 500,000 rupiah and the stay is 30 days from arrival.
One extension of a further 30 days is available inside Indonesia at designated immigration offices, for another 500,000 rupiah. That is the ceiling on this route: 60 days total, and no second extension.
Good to know
- Not finding your country on the list does not mean you are not on it, and this is the specific trap for small EU states. Indonesia’s visa-on-arrival list names around sixty countries individually and then covers two whole blocs collectively at the top. Luxembourg, Malta, Cyprus and the rest are inside the European Union line rather than in the alphabetical run, so a traveller scanning for L between Liechtenstein and Maldives finds nothing and reasonably concludes the answer is no. Liechtenstein, which is not in the EU, IS listed by name, which makes the gap look deliberate when it is the opposite.
- Buying it before you fly and buying it on landing are the same visa but not the same experience. The e-VoA is issued before departure, so you arrive holding the permission rather than joining a payment queue that sits before passport control and moves at the speed of however many wide-bodies just landed. The price is identical. The only argument for the counter is not having arranged it.
- Sixty days is the hard ceiling and the second thirty is not automatic. The extension is granted once, at designated immigration offices inside Indonesia, and it costs the same as the visa did. If your trip is planned at more than two months, the visa on arrival is the wrong instrument and you want a visitor visa arranged before travelling instead.
- The Bali levy is not the visa and paying one does not cover the other. Bali charges arriving foreign visitors a provincial tourism levy that is collected separately from anything immigration does. It is small, it is paid to the province, and travellers regularly assume the visa fee included it. Budget for both if Bali is the destination rather than a connection.
