🇮🇩 Does an Indonesian need a visa for Australia 🇦🇺?
Yes. Indonesian passport holders need a visa for Australia, applied for at an embassy or consulate of Australia before travelling.
Rule updated from Wikipedia's “Visa requirements for Indonesian citizens” (checked 2026-10-04); the older passport-index dataset (January 2025) listed e-Visa. Entry rules change: confirm with the embassy of Australia or its official government website before you travel.
What this means for your trip
You apply at an embassy, consulate or authorised visa centre of the destination, usually with an application form, passport photos, bank statements, travel itinerary and accommodation bookings.
Processing takes days to weeks, and some embassies require an interview; start the application well before your trip.
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.
Where to apply in Indonesia
If you live in Indonesia, visas for Australia are issued by its missions there. Many of them use an outsourced visa application centre: the mission's website says where to apply and which office covers your region.
