This visa can be obtained directly when you arrive at certain airports and seaports in Indonesia for purposes of tourist, social, business or official visit. The maximum stay permitted for a Visa on Arrival is 30 days. It can be extended once for another 30 days.
The general requirements for visa on arrival are:
1. Expiration date of the applicant's passport must be at least 6 (six) months at the date of entry.
2. Round-trip airplane ticket.
3. Fees IDR 500.000
The fee must be paid in cash; no credit cards are accepted for visa fees on arrival at the airport. If you don’t have cash, the staff will hold your passport and let you visit an ATM. But ideally you should bring IDR or order the visas before you arrive through a commercial "Meet and Assist" service provider so you won’t need cash or have to queue for it. Limited other currencies may be accepted, but the exchange rate to IDR is not a favorable rate.
Persons coming to Indonesia for short term stays (longer than 60 days allowed on VOA), not as tourists and not for business, should apply for another category of visa - the Visa Kunjungan (Social/Cultural Visit Visa) at an Indonesian consular office overseas.
Social Visit Visa is given for single entry and valid for maximum 60 days.
Social visit visa can be extended for four times consecutively (up to 30 days per extension).
Cause of COVID situation, it can be extended until COVID declared over.
