Indonesia passport ranking

Indonesia Passport Ranking

The Indonesia passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by adding up the number of countries that allow Indonesia passport holders to enter without a visa (i.e. visa-free countries) and those that allow Indonesia passport holders to enter by obtaining a visa on arrival (i.e. visa-on-arrival countries) or an electronic travel authorization (eTA). There are currently a total of 46 Indonesia passport visa-free countries, 32 Indonesia visa-on-arrival countries, and 2 eTA destinations.

Altogether, Indonesia passport holders can enter a total of 80 destinations—either without a visa, through a visa on arrival, or via an eTA. As a result, the Indonesia passport ranks 68 in the world.

Separate from these Indonesia visa-free countries and visa-on-arrival countries, there are 149 additional destinations which Indonesia passport holders either need a physical visa to enter or an eVisa (i.e. visa required countries).
