The granting of a VoA is done by checking the requirements that a diplomatic, service and general passport is valid for at least six months. A return or onward ticket to another country and proof of payment of non-tax revenue (PNBP) is also needed.

The validity period is 30 days with a one-time extension available for another 30 days. Visitors can apply for this at an Immigration Office whose working area covers the residence of foreigners and cannot be transferred.

Purpose

Foreigners who seek to apply for a Visa on Arrival can do so according to these purposes:

• Tourist visits
• Government duty visits
• Business discussion visits
• Purchase of goods visits
• Meetings
• Transit

A VoA is granted to foreigners who intend to make a visit to Indonesia in the context of tourism, socio-cultural visits, business visits, or government assignments.
