Start with your passport and purpose
Australia is on Indonesia’s Visa on Arrival eligibility list. This guide covers ordinary holiday travel on an Australian passport. Living in Australia does not make a different passport eligible: use the nationality and document type you will actually present.
For a B1 visitor application, Immigration requires at least six months of passport validity and a return or onward ticket. Inspect the passport for damage as well as its expiry date. A booking confirmation does not override an immigration document requirement.
What the short-stay visa covers
The B1 visa fee is IDR500,000. Its initial stay is up to 30 days, counted from arrival, and it can be extended once to a maximum total of 60 days. Treat the stay expiry recorded by Immigration as the deadline. A month on the calendar is not always 30 days.
Choose the visa for the activities you will undertake. A holiday visa is not permission to take a job or run a business. If the purpose includes paid work, volunteering or commercial content, resolve the visa category with Indonesian Immigration before travelling.
Use the official application route
The official eVisa service is evisa.imigrasi.go.id. Smartraveller also directs travellers to All Indonesia, where the arrival card and e-VOA application can be accessed. Prepare the passport biodata image, a recent photograph and onward travel details before starting.
Review the passport number, names and dates against the document, then retain the visa and payment receipt. A third-party processing charge is different from the government visa fee. This website does not submit applications or collect passport images.
Before departure and after entry
- Keep the visa, onward ticket and first accommodation address available offline, with a separate backup.
- Complete the arrival declaration in its permitted window and keep the tourist-levy receipt separately.
- After entry, read the permission and expiry recorded for your stay. Resolve an incorrect date promptly.
- If you need an extension, start before expiry and follow the current local Immigration appointment and document process. Do not assume an online submission removes any in-person requirement.
