What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the Visa on Arrival counter
After deplaning, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' or 'VOA' before passport control. This is usually a separate counter. Pay the 500,000 IDR fee (cash only). You'll get a receipt and a visa sticker.
2
Proceed to passport control
Hand over your passport, the VOA receipt, and your boarding pass. The officer will stamp your passport with a 30-day entry permit. Keep the small immigration card they give you — you'll need it when you leave.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, collect your bags from the carousel. You may be asked to show your customs declaration (if you filled one out online). Then exit into the arrivals hall.
