Do Syria Citizens Need a Visa for Indonesia in 2026?

eVisa

Syrian citizens CANNOT use the standard Visa on Arrival or the standard e-Visa portal independently. They must obtain a 'Calling Visa' (typically a B211A e-Visa) which REQUIRES an authorized Indonesian sponsor (usually a registered travel agency or corporate guarantor) to submit the application directly to the Directorate General of Immigration in Jakarta. This process is complex, expensive, and takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Step-by-Step Application Process

1

Find a Sponsor

Engage a registered Indonesian travel agency to act as your guarantor.

2

Immigration Clearance

The sponsor applies for your Calling Visa at the Immigration Directorate in Jakarta.

3

Receive e-Visa

Once the security 'Calling' process is cleared, receive your B211A e-Visa via email.

Required Documents

  • Color scan of Syrian passport bio-page and cover (valid 6+ months)
  • Color passport-sized photograph
  • Guarantor/Sponsor letter from an Indonesian entity
  • Sponsor's company documents (SIUP, TDP, KTP of director)
  • Proof of funds (Applicant's bank statements showing at least 2,000 USD)
  • Confirmed return flight ticket

Important Tips

  • Do not try to fly to Bali expecting a Visa on Arrival; Syrian citizens will be denied boarding by the airline.
  • The 'Calling Visa' process involves background checks by the 'Clearing House' (Immigration, Police, Ministry of Foreign Affairs), which is why it takes weeks.
  • Be prepared to pay higher agency fees (often $300 - $600) because Indonesian sponsors take legal and financial responsibility for Syrian applicants.
  • Ensure your passport scan is high quality and strictly covers the full page.

Easiest Way to Get It

Hiring a reputable, specialized Bali/Jakarta visa agency that has experience clearing 'Calling Visas' for restricted nationalities is the only practical method.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
