Indonesia Tourist Visa: a Compressive Guide
Visa on Arrival (VOA, eVOA) is an ideal choice for a short visit (available for 97 countries).
VOA /eVOA is issued for 30 days extendable for 30 days more. So in total, you can stay in Indonesia up to 60 days, after which you must leave the country.
You can buy VOA at the airport upon arrival at a special counter, or obtain eVOA online in advance through the Immigration official website.
✅ If you would like to come to Indonesia for a long stay, or you are not available to obtain VOA/eVOA, you can choose a Single-Entry Tourist Visa С1
This visa is issued for 60 days, extendable 2 times for 60 days each time. Thus, you can stay in Indonesia for 180 days in total.
* This is a single-entry visa, meaning it will be automatically canceled if you leave Indonesia.
If you would like to stay in Indonesia for the long term but need to leave the country frequently is better to apply for a Multiple-entry eVisa D1.
eVisa D1 is issued for 1 or 2 years and allows you to stay in Indonesia for up to 60 days at a time, extendable 2 times for 60 days each time.
So it let you stay up to 180 days per visit, after which you need to leave the country, but you can return at any time.
Free 30-days Visa (NOT EXTANDABLE) is now available for 10 countries only (Brunei Darussalam, Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, East Timor)
