Useful information on travelling and studying in the EU for citizens of Indonesia and Brunei.
Visiting EU for citizens of Indonesia
If you are planning a short stay in an EU country, you may need a visa, depending on your nationality and on the rules in the country you wish to travel to. Generally, a Schengen visa entitles its holder to travel throughout the 29 Schengen countries for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
Indonesia passport holders require a Schengen visa to enter the Schengen area. To apply, please check with the embassy of the EU country which will be your main destination. If it is not clear what the main destination country is, apply at the embassy of the country where you will have the longest visit. If the visits in different Schengen countries are for the same amount of time, the first destination will be the determining factor.
A Schengen visa is not for stays longer than 90 days, or if you plan to get a job or set up a business, trade or profession.

Brunei passport holders can enter Schengen countries without a visa for a short stay of up to 90 days. Despite this visa exemption, Bruneians – along with citizens from more than 60 countries with visa-free travel agreements with Europe – will be required to apply for the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS). ETIAS will start operations in the last quarter of 2026.
ETIAS is required not only for tourism. Brunei citizens will also need to apply for ETIAS when traveling for business, attending conferences, visiting family, or even participating in short-term educational programmes.
