For stays over 60 days, you need a different visa — either a B211A Social Visa (valid up to 180 days) or a B211B Business Visa. Apply at an Indonesian embassy before you travel. These require a sponsor letter.
Yes, the Visa on Arrival is available at major sea ports and land border crossings, not just airports. Check the official Indonesian immigration website for the full list of entry points.
You'll be fined 1,000,000 IDR per day of overstay. Pay at the immigration office before you leave. Serious overstays can lead to detention and deportation.
Only if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Otherwise, no. No other vaccines are mandatory for entry.
Yes, Estonia is eligible for the Indonesian e-Visa (e-VoA). Apply online at molina.imigrasi.go.id before travel. It costs the same 500,000 IDR and saves you queuing at the airport. Processing takes 1–3 business days.
