B1 Visa on Arrival (VOA) & e-VOA
The B1 Visa on Arrival is available only to passport holders and at arrival points currently listed by Indonesian Immigration. It provides up to 30 days initially and may be extended once for a maximum total stay of 60 days. The e-VOA is the online application form of the same B1 route. Apply only through the official eVisa portal, or use an authorised arrival point if your passport is eligible. Fees, payment methods and procedures can change, so use the current B1 page rather than an old country list or processing-time promise. B1 is a visitor route for the activities listed on its official page. It is not employment permission. Any conversion uses the official bridging-visa mechanism and is not automatic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can get a B1 Visa on Arrival for Bali?
Only passport holders on Indonesia's current B1 eligibility list can use this route. Confirm the passport you will travel on and the authorised arrival point on the official B1 or eVisa page before departure.
What's the difference between VOA and e-VOA?
They are the same B1 route. The e-VOA is applied for online before travel; the VOA is obtained at an authorised arrival point. Border checks still apply in either case.
Can I extend my B1 VOA in Bali?
B1 may be extended once for a maximum total stay of 60 days. Start the current official extension process before the initial permission expires and follow any attendance or evidence instructions shown for your case.
Can I convert my B1 VOA to a longer visa while in Bali?
The B1 VOA cannot be freely converted to another visa type in-country. A change of stay is only possible where an official bridging visa arrangement applies and you meet the requirements. If you want a longer stay, apply for the appropriate visa (such as a C1 tourism visa) before arriving or check current options at evisa.imigrasi.go.id.
What happens if I overstay my B1 VOA?
Overstaying in Indonesia is taken seriously and results in daily overstay penalties, with the possibility of being barred from re-entry for longer overstays. Always extend before your visa expires, or leave on time. Check current penalty rates on the official immigration portal.
Is the e-VOA safe to apply for? What website do I use?
The official and only legitimate e-VOA website is evisa.imigrasi.go.id — operated by the Directorate General of Indonesian Immigration. Avoid third-party "visa services" that add fees to submit on your behalf; most are just middlemen using the same portal.
