Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get your visa on arrival at major Indonesian airports and seaports. Pay the fee in USD or IDR cash — $35 USD for 30 days, extendable once for another 30 days. Have your return ticket and hotel booking ready at the counter.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Indonesia. Airlines check this strictly at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Return ticket | Immigration officers routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination. Budget airlines at Jakarta and Bali check this before issuing a boarding pass. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking | Immigration may ask for your hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host. Have a printed confirmation or a screenshot on your phone. Hostels and guesthouses work fine — just show the booking reference. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient funds | Officers rarely ask, but carry at least $500 USD in cash or have a credit card with a visible limit. ATMs are widely available in cities but unreliable on smaller islands like Lombok or Flores. | Recommended |
Cash only at VOA counter
The Visa on Arrival fee must be paid in cash. ATMs are available after you clear customs, but not before. Bring 500,000 IDR (or equivalent in USD/EUR) in your carry-on.
Extension requires a sponsor
To extend your VOA, you'll need a sponsor letter from your hotel or a local resident. Most hotels can provide this for a small fee. Start the extension process at least 7 days before your first 30 days expire.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the Visa on Arrival counter
After deplaning, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' or 'VOA' before passport control. This is usually a separate counter. Pay the 500,000 IDR fee (cash only). You'll get a receipt and a visa sticker.
2
Proceed to passport control
Hand over your passport, the VOA receipt, and your boarding pass. The officer will stamp your passport with a 30-day entry permit. Keep the small immigration card they give you — you'll need it when you leave.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, collect your bags from the carousel. You may be asked to show your customs declaration (if you filled one out online). Then exit into the arrivals hall.
