Bali
The short answer
Canadian citizens can get a visa on arrival to enter Indonesia for stays of up to 30 days. A visa is issued at the border on arrival in Indonesia. On arrival: all travellers are required to submit an arrival card within three days prior to arrival in Indonesia. Conditions: an electronic visa on arrival application can be made for up to five people at once. This covers tourist and short business visits only, not work, study or residence, and a border officer makes the final decision on entry in every case. Entry rules change without notice, so the requirement is read again from the official source on a schedule and the date above is the last time that happened. The official source for this corridor is linked on this page and should be checked before booking. This was last checked on 8 September 2026.

Avoid Some Regions
UK FCDO: The FCDO advises against all travel to the exclusion zones around several active volcanoes, including Lewotobi Laki-Laki, Sinabung, Marapi, Semeru, Ruang, and Ibu. The rest of the country carries no advisory against travel. The earlier warning about Jakarta airport closures caused by volcanic ash clouds has been removed.

Questions
What Canadian citizens ask about entering Indonesia
Yes, but it is issued at the border. Canadian citizens can get a visa on arrival in Indonesia. This was last checked on 8 September 2026.
Up to 30 days on this entry route. A longer trip needs a different permission, which this page does not cover. A border officer decides the length granted on the day.
Through the official application page linked on this page. Yoogo does not process applications and takes no fee for them.
A passport valid for the trip, proof of onward or return travel, and proof of where you are staying. Officers can ask for evidence that you can support yourself for the visit. Entry is always the officer's decision, whatever the paperwork says.
Indonesia uses IDR. Check the rate before you exchange anything at the airport, where the spread is usually widest.
Safety is a judgement your own government makes, not Yoogo. This page links the official travel advice for your passport; read it before booking, because advice can change faster than entry rules.
