Indonesia's Tourist Visa Cheaper for European Travelers Than Cambodia and Laos

According to a report by CNN Indonesia on the 14th, citing data compiled by Euronews, European tourists pay 24 euros (approximately Rp494,000) for an Indonesian tourist visa. This is more expensive than India's fee (8.75–21.88 euros) but cheaper than Cambodia (26.26 euros) and Laos (43.76 euros).

According to the report, among Asian destinations, Saudi Arabia charges the highest visa fee for European tourists at 92.07 euros, followed by Japan (81.28 euros) and Jordan (49.38 euros). These figures are based on official immigration websites and represent the cheapest available option, with actual costs potentially varying depending on where the traveler's passport was issued.

The article also noted that the European Union's planned European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), originally scheduled for launch in Q4 2026, has been delayed and is now expected to roll out in early 2027. ETIAS will require travelers from visa-exempt countries such as the UK, US, Australia, and Canada to apply for authorization before entering 30 European countries. The fee is 20 euros, valid for three years or until passport expiry, allowing stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period.

This report does not indicate any change to Indonesia's existing visa policy; it simply compares current tourist visa fees across Asian countries. For European tourists planning trips to Bali, this offers useful budgeting information ahead of travel.
