Bali Visa on Arrival (VOA) Extension

What is a Visa on Arrival?

A Visa on Arrival (VoA) is a type of visa that travelers from eligible countries can get when they arrive at an Indonesian airport or seaport, or they can buy it online as an E-Visa before they travel. This visa lets visitors stay in Indonesia for 30 days, including the day they arrive. It's mainly for people coming for tourism or social visits. The VoA can be extended once for another 30 days, making it a convenient option since you don't need to apply for a visa before your trip.

What is the difference between a VOA and the E-VOA?

The E-Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) and regular Visa on Arrival (VoA) for Indonesia differ mainly in how you get them.

With the e-VOA, you apply and pay online before your trip, getting approval in advance and saving time at the airport. It usually takes a few days to process.

The regular VoA is obtained when you arrive in Indonesia. You wait in line, apply, and pay at the airport or seaport, which can take longer.

In short, the e-VOA is more convenient if you plan ahead, while the regular VoA is for those who prefer to handle it upon arrival.
