Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival application Visa on arrival | You get a 30-day visa on arrival at Indonesian airports (CGK, DPS, SUB, etc.) for 500,000 IDR (~$32 USD). Pay in cash (IDR or USD) at the 'Visa on Arrival' counter before immigration. Have your return ticket and hotel booking ready — officers at Ngurah Rai (Bali) and Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta) routinely ask for both.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date | Indonesia strictly enforces the 6-month passport validity rule. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. No exceptions. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa on arrival | Immigration officers at all Indonesian airports ask for a return or onward ticket before stamping your visa on arrival. Budget airlines (AirAsia, Lion Air) also check this at check-in. A printed or digital copy works. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration officers in Bali and Jakarta often ask for a hotel booking confirmation. Have a printed copy or show it on your phone. A hostel or Airbnb reservation works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Officers rarely ask, but carry at least $1,000 USD equivalent in cash or have a bank statement ready. ATMs are widely available in cities but unreliable on remote islands. | Recommended |
Cash only at VoA counter
The Visa on Arrival fee must be paid in cash — no cards, no mobile payments. Have 500,000 IDR in exact change. ATMs before immigration are unreliable. Bring USD or EUR and exchange at the airport if needed.
Extension is possible but plan ahead
You can extend your VoA once for 30 days, but the process takes 3–5 working days. Visit an immigration office at least a week before your first 30 days expire. Bring your passport, the original VoA receipt, a passport photo, and the fee (about 500,000 IDR).

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can extend it once for another 30 days. Go to any immigration office (Kantor Imigrasi) before your first 30 days expire. The extension costs about 500,000 IDR and takes 3–5 working days. You'll need your passport, the original VoA receipt, a passport photo, and a completed application form.
You'll need a different visa before you travel. Options include a Social/Cultural Visa (B-211) valid for 60 days extendable up to 180 days, or a Business Visa (B-211A). Apply at an Indonesian embassy or consulate in Peru or a neighboring country before your trip.
No, only cash is accepted at the VoA counter. Have 500,000 IDR in exact change. Some airports have ATMs before immigration, but they often run out of cash or have long queues. Bring USD or EUR and exchange at the airport if needed.
If you stay airside and don't pass immigration, no visa is needed. But if you want to leave the airport (e.g., a long layover in Bali), you'll need a VoA. Check with your airline — some transit passengers are required to have a visa regardless.
You'll be fined 1,000,000 IDR (about $65 USD) per day of overstay, paid at immigration before you leave. Overstays over 60 days can lead to deportation and a ban. Don't risk it — set a reminder to extend or leave on time.
VoA is available at major international airports: Bali (DPS), Jakarta (CGK), Lombok (LOP), Surabaya (SUB), Medan (KNO), and a few others. For smaller airports or land borders, check if VoA is offered — otherwise you'll need a visa in advance.
No, it's a single-entry visa. If you leave Indonesia (even to a neighboring country like Malaysia or Singapore), you'll need to get a new VoA when you return.
