| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking | Immigration may ask for your hotel reservation or address of stay during entry questioning. Have a printed or digital confirmation ready showing your full name and booking dates. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient funds | Officers can request proof you have at least $1,000 USD or equivalent for your stay. Carry cash, a credit card, or a bank statement showing available funds. | Recommended |
Cash only for VoA

If you overstay even one day, the fine is 1,000,000 IDR per day. Pay at immigration before departure — don't skip it, or you'll face a ban.
What happens at the border
1
