Maximizing your Indonesia eVOA: Tips for a seamless experience

To make the most of your Indonesia eVOA, consider these expert tips:

• Plan ahead: Apply for your eVOA at least 7 days before your trip to allow for any unforeseen delays.

• Check your passport: Ensure your passport has at least 6 months validity from your planned date of entry into Indonesia.

• Have your documents ready: Prepare a digital copy of your passport, a recent passport-style photo, and your travel itinerary before starting the application.

• Double-check entry points: Confirm that your chosen port of entry accepts eVOA (most major airports and seaports do, but it's always best to verify).

Ra'eesah: "If your travel plans are flexible, consider visiting Indonesia during the shoulder season (April-June or September-October). You'll enjoy fewer crowds and potentially lower prices while still experiencing great weather."

Extending your stay in Indonesia: what you need to know

If you fall in love with Indonesia (and trust us, it's easy to do!), you might want to extend your stay beyond the initial 30 days. Here's what you need to know:

• eVOA holders can extend their stay once for an additional 30 days.

• Visit a local immigration office in Indonesia

• Begin the extension process at least 7 days before your initial visa expires.

• Bring your passport, initial eVOA approval, and proof of onward travel.

• Be prepared to pay an extension fee (amount subject to change).

iVisa Pro Tip: If you're planning to stay in Indonesia for longer than 60 days, consider applying for a different visa type, such as the Social-Cultural Visa or Business Visa, which allow for longer stays.
