Whether you’re dreaming of the lush jungles of Ubud, the crystal clear waters of Raja Ampat, or the bustling streets of Jakarta, your journey starts with a single stamp. As of 2026, Indonesia has further streamlined its Visa on Arrival (VoA) process, making it easier than ever to enter the “Emerald of the Equator.”
Below is your ultimate guide to the 2026 Indonesia Visa on Arrival who is eligible, how much it costs, and the secret to skipping the airport queues.
The 2026 Indonesia VoA Essentials
The Visa on Arrival (VoA), officially known as the B1 Visitor Visa, is the go-to choice for travelers staying for 30 days or less.
- Cost: IDR 500,000 (Approx. $32 USD / €30).
- Duration: 30 days (Valid from the moment you land).
- Extension: You can extend it once for an additional 30 days (total 60 days).
- Purpose: Tourism, business meetings, transit, or government visits.
Pro Tip: If you want to breeze through immigration, apply for an e-VOA (Electronic Visa on Arrival) via the official immigration portal at least 48 hours before you fly. This allows you to use the Autogates at major airports like Jakarta (CGK) and Bali (DPS), saving you up to an hour of queuing.

The “ASEAN” Exception
If you hold a passport from an ASEAN country (Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, or Vietnam), you are Visa Exempt. You can enter Indonesia for free for up to 30 days, but keep in mind that this “Free Entry” is not extendable. If you plan to stay longer than 30 days, you should still purchase a VoA.
