🇫🇷 Does a French need a visa for Indonesia 🇮🇩?
Visa on arrival. French passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Indonesia, usually at the airport or land border.
Checked against Wikipedia's list of visa requirements for French citizens on 2026-10-04. Entry rules change: confirm with the embassy of Indonesia or its official government website before you travel.
What this means for your trip
A visa on arrival is issued at the port of entry. Expect a fee, a passport photo and sometimes proof of onward travel and accommodation.
Not every airport or land border issues it, and some nationalities are sent to secondary checks; confirm the entry point before you travel.
Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.

Plugs and voltage
Your plugs fit: every plug type used in France (C, E) works with sockets in Indonesia. Mains voltage differs (Indonesia: 127/230 V; France: 230 V): most phone and laptop chargers accept 100–240 V, but single-voltage devices such as some hair dryers need a converter.
