Visa on arrival, 30 days, extendable once. Indian passport holders pay IDR 500,000 (about ₹2,700) at the airport, or buy it in advance as an e-VOA at evisa.imigrasi.go.id and skip a queue. One extension of 30 days is possible at an immigration office for another IDR 500,000. Two extra things catch people out: the All Indonesia Arrival Card is compulsory for every arrival since 16 July 2026, and Bali charges a separate tourist levy of IDR 150,000 (about ₹800). Both are done on different official portals from the visa itself.
