🇮🇩 Does an Indonesian need a visa for South Korea 🇰🇷?

Visa required

Yes. Indonesian passport holders need a visa for South Korea, applied for at an embassy or consulate of South Korea 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 South Korea 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 South Korea 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.

Plugs and voltage

Your plugs fit: every plug type used in Indonesia (C, F) works with sockets in South Korea. Mains voltage differs (South Korea: 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.
