Cash is king for VoA
ATMs are available after baggage claim, but the VoA counter is before immigration. Bring 500,000 IDR in cash (or equivalent USD/EUR) to avoid delays. Some counters don't give change for large bills.
Extension is straightforward but plan ahead
If you want to stay 60 days, apply for the extension at least 7 days before your first 30 days expire. Immigration offices in tourist areas like Bali are used to this — just bring your passport, a copy of your return ticket, and the fee.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can extend it once for another 30 days. Visit any Kantor Imigrasi (immigration office) before your first 30 days expire. The extension costs about 500,000 IDR and takes 3–5 working days. You'll need your passport, a copy of your return ticket, and a recent photo.
For stays over 60 days, you need a different visa before traveling — either a Social Visa (B-211) valid for 60 days extendable up to 180 days, or a Business Visa. Apply at an Indonesian embassy or consulate in Brazil. The VoA cannot be extended beyond 60 days total.
VoA is available at all major international airports: Ngurah Rai (Bali), Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta), Juanda (Surabaya), Kuala Namu (Medan), and others. It's also available at major seaports like Batam and Tanjung Pinang. Check the official Indonesian immigration website for the full list.
Cash in Indonesian Rupiah is most reliable. Some counters accept US dollars or euros, but you'll get change in IDR. Credit cards are accepted at some airports but not all — don't rely on it. Bring 500,000 IDR in cash.
Yes, you need to complete the electronic customs declaration (e-CD) online at https://ecd.beacukai.go.id/ up to 48 hours before arrival. You'll get a QR code to show at customs. No health forms are currently required.
Overstaying costs 1,000,000 IDR per day (about $65 USD) — paid at immigration when you leave. For overstays longer than 60 days, you may face deportation and a ban. Always extend or leave before your visa expires.
No. VoA is strictly for tourism, transit, or short business meetings (like attending a conference). Paid work of any kind is illegal and can lead to deportation and fines. For work, you need a proper work permit (KITAS).
