What is the Indonesia B1 e-VOA?
The B1 electronic Visa on Arrival is a short-stay, single-entry visitor visa for eligible passport holders travelling to Bali or elsewhere in Indonesia. Applying online before departure lets you receive the visa electronically and review the details before you travel.
The initial permitted stay can be up to 30 days. One extension may be available, bringing the total stay to up to 60 days, but the dates and conditions printed on the issued permit remain decisive.
Who is eligible for the Bali e-VOA?
Eligibility depends on the passport you will use, the purpose of the visit and the current Indonesian immigration list. Tourism, family visits, transit and certain non-employment business activities may fit this route.
Citizenship normally determines the starting visa route. Where you live may affect document handling, embassy access or extra checks, but it does not replace passport nationality.

Passport validity
Your passport should meet the validity period stated by Indonesian Immigration for the date you enter. Upload the full biodata page with all four corners visible and no glare.
Onward travel
Keep evidence showing how you intend to leave Indonesia within the permitted stay, such as a return flight or an onward booking.
Photo and personal details
Use a recent colour photo and enter names, passport number, birth date and expiry exactly as shown in the passport.
Accommodation and trip details
Have the address of your first stay and a clear travel plan available. Immigration may request supporting information.
How the assisted e-VOA request works
- Send your requestVerify your email, add trip details and upload readable documents securely.
- We review the fileWe check the route and document quality and contact you if anything is missing.
- Review the written quoteIf the case can proceed, you receive the service scope, total and secure payment link.
- Application preparationAfter payment, the file is prepared for submission through the appropriate immigration channel.
- Receive the outcomeWe send the issued document or explain any further action requested by Immigration.
Processing time and when to start
Processing begins only when the route is confirmed and the required file is complete. Weekends, Indonesian public holidays, document corrections and additional immigration checks can affect timing.
Start before making non-refundable travel commitments. We confirm the available handling time in writing before payment rather than promising an approval date the authority controls.
What happens when you arrive in Bali?
- Keep the approved e-VOA available on your phone and carry a backup copy.
- Complete any separate customs, health or arrival declarations required for your travel date.
- Present your passport and visa to the immigration officer.
- Before leaving the counter, check the permitted-stay date recorded for your entry.
Extending your B1 e-VOA
A B1 stay may be extended once for up to 30 additional days, subject to the issued permit and current rules. Begin the review well before your permitted stay expires; do not wait until the final days.
e-VOA, visa exemption or C1?
| Route | Initial stay | Extension | Best starting point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visa exemption | Short stay | Normally not extendable | Eligible travellers certain they need only a brief visit |
| B1 e-VOA | Up to 30 days | Once, subject to rules | Eligible short visits with possible extra time |
| C1 visitor visa | Longer initial stay | Subject to the issued visa | Visitors planning beyond the B1 route |
The exact category and permitted stay shown by Immigration take priority over this comparison.
Important limits and overstays
B1 does not grant general permission to work for an Indonesian person or company. Leaving Indonesia normally uses the single entry, and returning requires a new valid entry permission.
Do not overstay the date recorded by Immigration. Overstays can lead to fines and more serious immigration consequences. If your dates are unclear, contact the team before the permit expires.
Common reasons a request needs correction
- Passport validity is too short for the planned arrival date
- The passport image is blurred, cropped or affected by glare
- Names or dates do not match the passport exactly
- Onward travel or accommodation details are incomplete
- The planned activity does not fit the B1 visitor route
- The request is started too close to departure
