What is the Indonesia Visa on Arrival (VOA) B1?

The B1 Visa on Arrival is a single-entry visa issued to foreign nationals upon their arrival in Indonesia (or applied for online via e-VOA). It is specifically designed for short visits. Under the official Indonesian immigration guidelines, the B1 VOA can be used for:

  • Tourism: Exploring Indonesia's cultural heritage, nature, and tourist destinations.
  • Government Visits: Official meetings or events related to government activities.
  • Business Meetings: Attending corporate meetings, negotiations, or short-term business activities (excluding employment).
  • Social-Cultural Visits: Visiting family, friends, or participating in social and cultural events.
  • Transit: Continuing a journey to another country.

Validity and Extension

One of the main advantages of the Indonesia VOA B1 is its flexibility. Initially, the visa grants a stay permit of up to 30 days. If you wish to extend your stay to explore more of Indonesia, you can extend it once for another 30 days at the local Immigration Office. This means you can enjoy up to 60 days in Indonesia with a single B1 visa.
