1. Visa-Free Entry (Visa Exemption Arrangement – VEA)

• Eligibility: Nationals of 13 countries (Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Colombia, Hong Kong, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Suriname, Thailand, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam).
• Duration: Up to 30 days.
• Purpose: Tourism only.
• Limitations: Cannot be extended or converted to another visa type.

2. Visa on Arrival (VOA)

Standard VOA

• Eligibility: Citizens of 90+ countries (e.g., USA, UK, Australia).
• Duration: 30 days; extendable once for an additional 30 days.
• Cost: IDR 500,000 (~USD $35).
• How to Apply: Obtain at major airports and seaports upon arrival.
• Documents Required:
  • Passport valid for at least six months.
  • Proof of onward or return flight.
  • Visa fee in cash.

Electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA)

• Convenience: Apply online before departure via the official immigration website (evisa.imigrasi.go.id/web/application_bvk).
• Duration & Cost: Same as the standard VOA.
• Payment: Visa, Mastercard, or JCB credit/debit card.
• Documents Required: Valid passport.
• Benefits: Skip long lines at the airport and enjoy an easier extension process. With the e-VOA, you can log in to the official site and click “Extend My Visa“, your info is already in the system. But if you get your VOA at the airport, none of that’s saved, so extending it means two trips to the Visa Office: one to apply, and another to collect it.
• Tips: Use your phone to sign up, it’s faster and easier. During the process, you’ll be prompted to take a picture of your passport, and the system will automatically fill in all the required details.
