How to Get an Indonesian Passport

Indonesian people boost a myriad of cultures and 300 different languages, but they only need one passport. You must be an Indonesian citizen to obtain an Indonesian passport. U.S. citizens with Indonesian spouses may apply for a passport, however Indonesian law does not recognize dual nationality, which may make entering and exiting Indonesian countries difficult. In lieu of individual passports spouses may be added onto a family passport that will allow a U.S. citizen to enter with his spouse. A U.S. citizen may enter Indonesia on a U.S. passport with an Indonesian tourist visa for six months. Obtaining an Indonesian passport in the U.S. requires the applicant to appear in person at her local Indonesian consulate.
