Does Indonesia still stamp foreign passports?

Passport stamps in Indonesia: what to expect

A common question for travelers heading to Indonesia is whether the country still physically stamps foreign passports on arrival or departure.

The provided prompt specifically asks whether Indonesia continues to stamp foreign passports. However, no additional details were included in the story set about the current, on-the-ground procedure.

Because the reporting here doesn’t provide confirmed details, it’s still unclear exactly how Indonesia is operating right now for every traveler and every entry method. Procedures can vary by port of entry, nationality, and whether immigration is using digital systems at that specific checkpoint.

For planning purposes, the safest approach is to assume you might receive a stamp, but you shouldn’t rely on one being present:

• If a stamped passport is required for your next step (for example, another visa process), bring any documentation that proves your entry/exit dates.
• If you need a record beyond a stamp, keep your boarding pass, entry paperwork, and any digital confirmation of entry.
• If you’re traveling on a tight schedule, plan for the possibility that immigration formalities may not match your expectations from older trip experiences.

If you want, tell me your likely entry port (e.g., Bali/Jakarta) and your nationality, and I can help you think through practical contingencies—especially if the stamp matters for future travel compliance.
