🇮🇩 Does an Indonesian need a visa for China 🇨🇳?
No. Indonesian passport holders can visit China without a visa for up to 30 days.
Rule updated from Wikipedia's “Visa requirements for Indonesian citizens” (checked 2026-10-04); the older passport-index dataset (January 2025) listed Visa required. Entry rules change: confirm with the embassy of China or its official government website before you travel.
What this means for your trip
Visa-free entry lets you arrive with a valid passport and pass border control without applying in advance.
Border officers can still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay, and they decide on entry. The stay limit applies per visit; many countries also cap total days within a period.
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
Some of your plugs fit (C); for type F plugs bring a travel adapter for China's sockets (A, C, I). Mains voltage differs (China: 220 V; Indonesia: 127/230 V): most phone and laptop chargers accept 100–240 V, but single-voltage devices such as some hair dryers need a converter.
