Good news if you have a last minute trip to Indonesia. Effective June 10, 2015, the government of Indonesia will allow US citizens and foreign nationals of 45 countries to enter Indonesia visa free for stays of 30 days or less. If you need a visa valid longer than 30 days, or have a different purpose of travel, you probably still need a visa, so make sure to check with Swift before traveling. Once you get to Indonesia visa-free, you cannot extend your stay or obtain a different type of visa while in country.
