Visiting Indonesia
B1 Tourist Visa — Visa on Arrival / e-VOA
The B1 Tourist Visa is the most common option for ordinary holidaymakers from eligible countries. It allows an initial stay of up to 30 days. It can be extended once for another 30 days, giving a maximum stay of 60 days. The standard immigration fee is IDR 500,000.
Travellers can obtain it in two ways: electronically before travelling (e-VOA) or, for eligible nationalities and entry points, upon arrival in Indonesia. We generally recommend the e-VOA before departure, because the traveller has the visa arranged in advance and can avoid the VOA purchase process after landing.

Basic B1 requirements
- A passport valid for at least six months.
- A return or onward airline ticket.
- The approved e-VOA if obtained online, or eligibility to purchase VOA upon arrival.
- Evidence supporting the visit if requested, such as accommodation or travel arrangements.
- Sufficient funds for the stay.
- The required Indonesian arrival declaration.
B1 extension
A B1 holder initially receives 30 days. It can be extended once for another 30 days, so:30 days + 30-day extension = maximum 60 days.
After reaching the permitted maximum, the traveller must leave Indonesia. The VOA route is therefore ideal for normal holidays but less suitable for someone planning an extended stay.
One important operational point is that the day of arrival counts toward the permitted stay. Clients should therefore avoid booking their outbound flight right at the edge of their immigration permission.
C1 Tourist Visit Visa For longer holidays
For travellers planning to stay longer, the C1 Tourist Visa (Visa Kunjungan Wisata) is generally more appropriate. C1 is a single-entry visitor visa specifically suitable for tourism. The initial permitted stay is up to 60 days from arrival. It is particularly useful for long Indonesia itineraries — for example travellers spending several weeks travelling through Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku, Papua, Flores and Bali.
The official Immigration information describes C1 as a single-entry visit visa with an initial stay of up to 60 days. The government e-Visa information currently shows tourist-visa options of up to 60 days, extendable, with the applicable fee depending on the specific visa classification/application route.

Arrival Card - Important requirement
There is another important requirement separate from the visa itself. Indonesia’s official e-Visa portal currently states that all travellers are required to submit an arrival card within three days before arrival in Indonesia.
