30-day stay is non-extendable
If you think you might want to stay longer than 30 days, apply for a B211A Visit Visa online before you travel. You cannot extend or convert the visa-free entry once you're in Indonesia.
Official e-visa portal
For any visa application (if you need one), use the official Indonesian immigration site: https://molina.imigrasi.go.id/. Avoid third-party agents that charge extra fees.
Overstay fines are steep
Overstaying even one day costs IDR 1,000,000 (about USD 65) per day. If you overstay by more than 60 days, you risk deportation and a ban from re-entering Indonesia.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare documents before flying
Check your passport has 6+ months validity and at least 1 blank page. Book a return/onward ticket within 30 days. Have your hotel booking and proof of funds ready.
2
Arrive at Indonesian immigration
At the airport (e.g., Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta, Bali Ngurah Rai), follow signs to 'Foreign Passport' or 'Visa on Arrival' counters. Since you're visa-free, you go to the regular immigration queue — not the VOA payment counter.
3
Present your passport and documents
Hand over your passport, boarding pass, and return ticket if asked. The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in. This usually takes 1–2 minutes.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After the stamp, proceed to baggage claim and customs. You're now legally in Indonesia for up to 30 days.

Frequently asked questions

No. The visa-free facility is for tourism, family visits, and certain social activities. It does not permit employment or business meetings that generate income. For business, you need a proper business visa.
