New Online Tourist Visa for Travel to Indonesia (eVOA) and 30-Day Online Extension + Online Customs Declaration

Looking to apply for a tourist visa to travel to Indonesia? In need of extension of your tourist visa? From now, you can make both requests online.

In order to ease the process of visa application and make it more convenient for foreign travelers, thus boost tourism in the country, Indonesian immigration authorities announced at the end of January 2023, that now, travelers can apply for tourist visa and make their respective extensions online.


Online tourist visa to travel to Indonesia (e-VOA visa)

Before the introduction of this new online service, foreign travelers who wanted to obtain a tourist visa to travel to Indonesia needed to obtain visa-on-arrival (VOA) tourist visa, at the airport of entry to Indonesia. It is a process that, on many occasions, caused endless queues of tourists at immigration counters of the main international airports of entry to Indonesia.

Likewise, VOA holders who wished to extend their visa once inside Indonesia had to go in person to the immigration office to request an extension of their stay permit. These procedures generated many headaches for tourists, since they were forced to interrupt their vacations to go to the immigration offices up to two times to obtain the extension of their visa, having to present numerous documentation and making long queues to be attended by immigration agents.

In hope to boost tourism in the country, the authorities now allow tourists to process their visas conveniently online, simply by having a smartphone and an Internet connection.

The Indonesia e-VOA tourist visa is a single entry visa that is valid for 30 days stay in Indonesia for the purpose of tourism, government visit, business meeting, purchase of goods or transit. With the possibility of issuing the visa another 30 days once inside the country (more information on how to extend your visa online in section 3 of this article).

Online extension of the VOA tourist visa in Indonesia

From now on, foreigners in possession of an e-VOA tourist visa, will no longer need to go to immigration offices to extend their visas. Tourists traveling to Indonesia can now apply for the extension of their visa online through the same official immigration website from where the e-VOA visa is processed online. On the Extend tab of the start menu, they will need to fill out a form and submit all required documents.

Online Customs Declaration to enter Indonesia

For those tourists who are going to travel to Indonesia, I would suggest the following to expedite your entry. The more paperwork you do in advance, the faster and smoother your entry will be. Airport WIFI can be a bit spotty, so always have screenshots, etc.

Now the customs declaration is necessary to fill it out online, they no longer give on the plane; the typical pink paper of before. Then, when you arrive at the airports in Indonesia, there are computers so that people can fill out that form online. So, if you have it already filled, you will also save waiting time in the queue destined to carry out that procedure.

Fill in the online customs declaration form through the Electronic Custom Declaration (ECD) website.

Once you have filled out the form, you will receive a QR code that you must scan when passing through the customs department of the airport.

Remember that the Electronic Custom Declaration ECD can only be filled out 3 days (72 hours) before the departure of your international flight to Indonesia.
