Quick answer: Indonesia eVOA eligibility depends on the passport country or region, travel document and purpose you will use for the trip. Immigration publishes a 97-entry Visa on Arrival reference list; for the online route, check the options available for your passport in the official eVisa selector before paying or travelling. eVOA, airport VOA and visa-free entry are different routes.
Last reviewed: 5 November 2026. Country references, the official visa selector and Visa BaliEasy’s eVOA service page checked on this date.
What is eVoA?
The Electronic Visa on Arrival (eVoA) lets you:
- Apply online before departure
- Complete the visa application and payment online before arrival, avoiding the on-arrival visa-purchase step when your eVOA has been issued
- Stay 30 days, extendable once for another 30 days (extend your eVoA here)
- Enter through designated airports, seaports or land-border checkpoints; check Immigration’s approved entry points for your route
For eligible tourism, family visits, transit and the visitor activities permitted under the visa’s conditions. It is not permission to work or receive local wages. The official B1 guidance lists a government visa fee of IDR 500,000 for an initial 30-day stay, extendable once for another 30 days. Card-processing or agency-service charges are separate.
Please note: if you plan to extend, make sure you’re aware of the new biometric rules: Biometric Visa Extension in Indonesia
Why eVoA is Better than VOA
About the comparison above: avoiding queues refers to completing the visa-purchase step before arrival. Immigration checks, security procedures and queues can still apply; an eVOA does not guarantee immediate admission.
Eligible Countries for eVoA (2026): Official VOA Reference
The regional list below reproduces the 97 entries on Immigration’s published VOA subject list, grouped for easier reading. Use it as a reference alongside the live eVOA selector, not as confirmation that every passport or travel-document type can use the online route.
Why check both? Official information pages are not fully aligned: the separate eVOA FAQ, marked last updated 19 January 2024, includes Macau and San Marino, while the VOA subject list checked for this review includes Azerbaijan and Mauritius instead. The portal’s other visitor-visa information page also carries a different list. If your passport is affected by a difference, check the available route with Immigration before travelling rather than relying on the number alone.

How to Check Your eVOA Eligibility Online
- Open the official eVisa visa selector.
- Select the exact Passport/Country/Region that matches your passport, not your residence or departure country.
- Choose your actual main purpose and sub-purpose. For the example below: General, Family, or Social → Tourism, Family Visit, and Transit.
- Review the available visa types and conditions. Select B1 – Tourist (Visa On Arrival) only if it is offered and fits your trip; check the stay period and document requirements before proceeding.
If B1 is unavailable, the passport is an emergency or other special travel document, or an official list conflicts with the selector, ask official Immigration support or Visa BaliEasy to review the available route. Do not select a different nationality to make an option appear.

ASEAN Countries: No Visa Needed
Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Timor-Leste appear on Immigration’s visa-exemption subject list. Eligible travellers can use the A1 tourism exemption for up to 30 days, subject to its conditions.
Visa-free is not eVOA: the official A1 guidance says this stay cannot be extended. B1 VOA/eVOA instead has an initial 30-day stay that can be extended once for another 30 days. If you expect to stay longer, choose the appropriate entry route before arrival.
The visa-exemption list is not limited to ASEAN passports: it also lists additional countries/regions and a special Singapore-permanent-resident route with specified entry points. Check the official category and checkpoint conditions rather than assuming residence in Singapore or ASEAN alone establishes eligibility.
Not Eligible for eVoA? Use the C1 / 211A Tourist Visa Instead
If eVOA is unavailable for your passport or your planned stay is longer, the C1 / 211A Tourist Visa may be an alternative. Eligibility, documents and any guarantor requirements must be checked for your nationality and circumstances; it is not an automatic alternative for every traveller.
The C1/211A visa allows you to:
- Enter Indonesia for tourism, family visits, or social purposes
- Stay up to 60 days per entry
- Extend your stay (depending on current regulations)
- Apply before travel, without lining up at the airport
Important: follow the permitted activities for the exact visa issued to you. A visitor visa is not permission to work or receive local wages. For meetings, business or professional activities, select the actual purpose in the official selector and check its conditions. D1 is labelled Tourist Multiple Entry in the portal; do not treat it as a general business or work visa.

Complete The All Indonesia Arrival Card Before Arrival
Travellers arriving by air or sea, including an international flight to Bali, complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card separately from eVOA, VOA or another visa. Check the applicable declaration procedure if entering by land.
The arrival card is free on the official government portal and can be completed within the permitted three-day pre-arrival window. An approved eVOA does not replace it. Our linked guide shows the current form and QR-retrieval steps.
Bali Levy
If visiting Bali, check whether the separate Bali Tourist Levy applies or an exemption covers you. The government levy is IDR 150,000 per eligible foreign tourist and is not included automatically in your visa fee. Use the official Love Bali payment route and keep the voucher. Check the current Love Bali FAQ for payment-frequency rules before paying again after a domestic side trip.
eVOA Country Eligibility FAQs
Is eligibility based on where I live or the passport I use?
Use the nationality and travel-document category shown on the passport you will travel with. Residence or the country your flight departs from does not automatically establish eVOA eligibility. Separate visa-exemption arrangements, such as the specified Singapore-permanent-resident route, have their own conditions.
What if my country is missing from the list or B1 does not appear?
Check the official selector using your exact passport category and purpose. If B1 is not offered or official references disagree, contact Immigration or Visa BaliEasy before paying or booking around that route. A C1 visa may be an option, subject to its own eligibility checks.
Is visa-free entry the same as eVOA?
No. A1 tourism visa exemption is a separate, non-extendable stay of up to 30 days. B1 VOA/eVOA is paid and has an initial stay of up to 30 days, extendable once for another 30 days under its conditions.
Quick Tips
- Apply well before departure and allow time for document checks, payment problems or corrections; do not treat a minimum-hour recommendation as an approval guarantee
- Passport must be valid 6+ months
- Keep printed & digital copy of eVoA
- Have your return ticket ready
- Complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card before arrival
- Thinking of staying longer than just a holiday? Learn more in Long-Term Living in Bali for Foreigners
- If you want to stay in Bali longer than 60 days or your country is not eligible for eVoA, consider applying for the C1/211A Tourist Visa instead.
