VOA is only at specific entry points
Not all airports and seaports offer Visa on Arrival. If you're flying into a smaller airport like Lombok or Yogyakarta, check if VOA is available. If not, you'll need to get a visa beforehand at an Indonesian embassy.
Keep your VOA receipt
The receipt you get when paying the VOA fee is your proof of payment. Keep it with your passport until you leave. You may need it for the extension process.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the Visa on Arrival counter
After disembarking, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' or 'VOA' before the immigration queues. This is usually before passport control. Major airports like Ngurah Rai (Bali), Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta), and Kuala Namu (Medan) have dedicated counters.
2
Pay the fee and get your visa sticker
Hand over your passport and pay IDR 500,000. The officer will issue a visa sticker and paste it into your passport. Keep the receipt.
3
Proceed to immigration
Join the immigration queue for foreign passport holders. Present your passport with the VOA sticker, your boarding pass, and any requested documents (return ticket, accommodation). You'll be fingerprinted and photographed.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After immigration, collect your bags from baggage claim and proceed through customs. You may be asked to scan your bags or declare goods.
