Visa on Arrival Guide

The VoA (B213) is a single-entry tourist visa valid for 30 days, extendable once. Citizens of 90–plus countries are eligible, including all EU member states, the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, China, and India. Most ASEAN nationals enter visa-free and pay nothing. For a standard two-to-four week Komodo itinerary, the VoA is the right instrument.

If you plan to stay beyond 60 days, a B211A Social Visit Visa obtained at an Indonesian consulate before departure is more appropriate. For unusual circumstances (dual nationality, refugee travel documents), check with the nearest Indonesian consulate directly — the authoritative eligibility list is at imigrasi.go.id.

The VoA can be extended once for an additional 30 days (maximum 60 days total). Apply in person at the Kantor Imigrasi in Labuan Bajo before your original 30-day period expires — extensions cannot be done online. Bring your passport, a passport photo, a completed extension form (available at the office), and IDR 500,000 in cash. Processing takes 1–3 working days; your passport is held during that time, so plan around any multi-day boat trips.

For stays beyond 60 days, a B211A Social Visit Visa obtained before departure is the appropriate route. Indonesian immigration has tightened enforcement in recent years, so repeated short-stay re-entries can attract scrutiny.
