How long does the Indonesia e-VOA take?

The Indonesian Directorate General of Immigration typically issues e-VOAs within a few business days. Our Priority tier reviews within 6 hours; Urgent is reviewed in under 30 minutes and shipped to the authority same-day. We recommend applying at least 48 hours before departure so there is room for the government decision.

Can I extend my e-VOA inside Indonesia?

Yes. The e-VOA can be extended once for an additional 30 days, giving up to 60 days in total. The extension is processed at an Indonesian immigration office and is separate from VisitPass. Write to our support team and we share the current extension procedure by email.

Is the e-VOA valid for Bali?

Yes. The e-VOA is valid for entry at all major Indonesian international airports and seaports, including Bali (Ngurah Rai), Jakarta and Surabaya. Bali is the most common destination, and the same authorisation covers the rest of Indonesia for tourism.

What if my application is rejected?

Most refusals come down to passport validity or details that do not match the passport page, which we check before submission. If your e-VOA is refused for reasons outside your control, our service fee is refunded; the government fee is paid to the authority and is non-refundable.

Do I still need to fill the on-arrival card?

The e-VOA replaces the old visa-on-arrival sticker, but Indonesia introduced a separate digital customs declaration in October 2025 that you complete around the time you arrive. It is not part of the e-VOA. Write to our support team and we share the current link and guidance by email.

Who can use the Indonesia e-VOA?

Nationals of more than 90 countries can use the e-VOA for single-entry tourism stays of up to 30 days, extendable once for another 30 days at an immigration office. This includes US, UK, EU, Canadian and Australian travellers. Each traveller needs their own e-VOA, including children.

What do I need to apply for the Indonesia e-VOA?

A passport valid at least six months beyond arrival with two blank pages, a scan of its bio page and a payment card. Keep a return or onward flight ticket and your Indonesian accommodation address to hand for arrival. We review your details against the current rules before submission.

Is this an official site, and how do I avoid Bali e-VOA scams?

VisitPass is an independent service, not a government website, and we are not affiliated with the government of Indonesia. You pay one all-inclusive price; the government fee is passed directly to Indonesian immigration and itemised on your receipt, with no hidden charges, so you always see exactly what each part of the price covers.

How much does the Indonesia e-VOA cost?

You pay one all-inclusive price that includes the government fee set by Indonesian immigration and our service fee, with the government portion itemised on your receipt. The government fee is paid directly to the authority, while our fee covers preparing, reviewing and submitting your application in your language. There are no charges added later.

What is the difference between the e-VOA and the visa on arrival?

The e-VOA is the electronic form of the visa on arrival, issued by Indonesian immigration before you travel. You apply online, receive the approval by email and present it at the e-VOA lane on arrival, so your permission to enter is confirmed before you board rather than decided at the counter. It is valid for a single entry of 30 days and can be extended once inside Indonesia.

What photo and documents does the e-VOA require?

The application is prepared from your passport: it must be valid at least six months beyond arrival with two blank pages, and a clear scan of the passport page forms part of the submission. We check that your name and passport number match the passport page before we submit, since a mismatch is the most common reason an application is delayed. Keep a return or onward ticket and your accommodation address to hand for arrival.

Do I need to print the e-VOA, and what do I show at the airport?

Keep a copy of your approved e-VOA, on your phone or printed, and present the QR code at the e-VOA lane on arrival. The officer scans it and stamps your passport. Travel on the same passport you applied with, and have your return ticket and accommodation details ready in case the officer asks about your trip.

What are the most common reasons an e-VOA is refused, and how do I avoid them?

Most problems come down to a passport that expires within six months of arrival, or a name or passport number that does not match the passport page. We read every field back against your document and flag these before submission, so small errors are caught early rather than at the airport.

How do I extend my e-VOA once I am in Indonesia?

The e-VOA gives a 30-day stay that you can extend a single time for another 30 days, up to 60 days in total. The extension is arranged inside Indonesia at a local immigration office, not online and not before you fly, and you typically need your passport, the e-VOA and proof of onward travel. Start it well before your 30 days run out; write to our support team and we share the current procedure by email.

How can I tell if an Indonesia visa website is fake?

Indonesia ran a 2026 crackdown on fraudulent Bali e-VOA sites that copy official pages and phish card details. Be wary of pages that promise approval the moment you pay, demand payment by transfer or cryptocurrency, hide who operates the site, or never say what their price covers. You pay one all-inclusive price with the government portion itemised on your receipt; we pass the government fee to Indonesian immigration and are not affiliated with any government.

Do I need an onward ticket or proof of funds for Indonesia?

Yes. Indonesian immigration expects you to hold a return or onward flight ticket showing you will leave within the permitted stay, and officers may ask to see proof of sufficient funds for your trip, such as a bank statement or card. Have these ready alongside your accommodation address when you land, since the officer makes the final admission decision.

When should I apply for the Indonesia e-VOA?

The Indonesian Directorate General of Immigration decides in 1 to 3 business days. Arrange and pay for the e-VOA online once your trip is booked, ideally at least 48 hours before departure and a week or two ahead if you can, so the government decision and our review both have room. Peak travel periods can add time. For short-notice travel, Priority and Urgent tiers submit your application to the authority quickly.

Indonesia e-VOA · VisitPass

Overview

The Indonesia e-VOA is the electronic version of the visa on arrival, an online travel authorisation issued by Indonesian immigration before you fly. It is valid for entry as a single-entry document and permits a stay of 30 days for tourism, which is the usual reason travellers head to Bali and the rest of the archipelago. Once in the country the 30 days can be extended a single time for a further 30 days, giving up to 60 days in total, with the extension arranged at a local immigration office rather than online.

More than 90 nationalities are eligible, including travellers from the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Canada and Australia, and each traveller needs their own e-VOA, including children. Because it is single entry, the authorisation is used up the moment you leave the country: a side trip to Singapore or Malaysia and back means a new e-VOA for the return. The e-VOA covers leisure and short family visits only.

It does not authorise paid work, study toward a qualification, journalism for an Indonesian outlet, or any form of residence, all of which require the appropriate Indonesian visa applied for separately. The 2025 digital customs declaration is a separate arrival step and is not part of this authorisation.

Requirements in detail

The Indonesia e-VOA asks for a few key documents, and each must match your passport exactly. Your passport needs to be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date and to hold at least two blank pages for the entry stamp; a passport that expires sooner is the single most common reason an application is held up, so check the expiry date before you start. Indonesian immigration also expects you to hold a return or onward flight ticket showing you intend to leave within the permitted stay, and to know the address of your accommodation in Indonesia, so keep both to hand for arrival; a hotel or guesthouse booking satisfies the accommodation point.

The e-VOA itself is paid for online before you travel rather than at the airport counter, which is the whole point of the electronic version: the approval reaches you by email ahead of departure. A clear scan of your passport page forms part of the submission, so have it ready. The most frequent avoidable error is a mistyped name or passport number that does not match the passport page: a single wrong character can stall the approval or cause a query at the border.

Every field is shown back to you against your document, so small errors surface before check-in rather than at it.

Government processing time

What the issuing authority typically takes once the application is submitted.

Government processing: the Indonesian Directorate General of Immigration decides in 1 to 3 business days. VisitPass review: Standard under 24h; Priority under 6h; Urgent under 30 min. The application is checked for completeness, submitted to the authority, and the confirmation issued. When to apply: pay for the e-VOA online before you travel, ideally at least 48 hours before departure, so the government decision and the review both have room. The approval reaches you by email, and you present its QR code at the e-VOA lane when you land in Bali, Jakarta or another approved point of entry, with no payment queue at the counter.

On arrival

Once your Indonesia e-VOA is approved it arrives by email, and you keep a copy on your phone or printed to show at the airport. On arrival you go to the e-VOA lane and present the QR code on your approval; the officer scans it and stamps your passport. Travel on the exact passport you applied with, because the e-VOA is tied to that document electronically.

The e-VOA lets you board and request entry, but the immigration officer makes the final admission decision, so have your return or onward ticket and your accommodation details ready in case you are asked. If you want to stay longer, the one 30-day extension is arranged inside Indonesia at a local immigration office, not before you fly.

Planning your trip

Bali anchors most trips, with Ubud's rice terraces and craft villages inland and the surf beaches and clifftop temples of the south coast, but the archipelago rewards going further. Yogyakarta on Java reaches the great temples of Borobudur and Prambanan, Komodo National Park offers dragons and pink-sand snorkelling, and Lombok pairs quieter beaches with the slopes of Mount Rinjani. The neighbouring Gili Islands trade cars for bicycles and turquoise shallows that are easy to reach by fast boat. The dry season from April to October is the most reliable window for island-hopping and clear diving, with steadier light for sunrise temple walks and volcano hikes; the wetter months bring lush green terraces and short, heavy afternoon downpours. Closer to Bali, the Nusa islands and their manta-ray reefs make easy day trips, and small ferries and fast boats stitch the southern islands together, so plan a buffer for sea conditions. Pack light, breathable clothes for the heat and humidity, a rain layer for sudden showers, sturdy sandals for temple steps and boat jetties, some cash for the smaller islands, and a sarong or covered shoulders and knees for temple visits, where modest dress is expected.
