Do Samoa citizens need a visa for Indonesia?

Based on GoMate's data verified against official and consular sources, the short-stay rule for an ordinary Samoa passport entering Indonesia is "Embassy visa required". This covers short visits for tourism, business, or transit. Entry requirements can change, so always confirm with the Indonesia embassy before traveling.

The permitted length of stay is determined at the border or set by the visa you obtain. See the requirements above and confirm with the Indonesia embassy before traveling.

Samoa passport holders must apply in advance at the nearest Indonesia embassy or consulate. Submit your passport and a completed application form, allow time for processing, and collect the visa before you travel. Be ready to provide: Pre-arranged B211A visa from an Indonesian embassy.

Passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival. Additional requirements: Pre-arranged B211A visa from an Indonesian embassy. Carry proof of onward travel and sufficient funds, as these may be checked at the border.

No. Short-stay entry to Indonesia is intended for tourism, business meetings, and transit — it does not permit paid employment. To work in Indonesia, Samoa citizens need a separate work visa or permit arranged in advance.

Extensions are sometimes possible by applying to the Indonesia immigration authorities before your permitted stay ends. Overstaying can lead to fines, deportation, and may affect future visa applications, so do not rely on it.
