Do Syria Citizens Need a Visa for Indonesia in 2026?
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
Find a Sponsor
Engage a registered Indonesian travel agency to act as your guarantor.
Immigration Clearance
The sponsor applies for your Calling Visa at the Immigration Directorate in Jakarta.
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.
