If paying in USD cash (approx. $35), avoid paying with large bills because the change is often given in IDR at a highly unfavorable exchange rate. Applying for an e-VoA online before arrival is recommended to use the fast-track autogates (available for biometric passports, though families with small children must still use manual desks).

To enter Indonesia, tourists need both a VOA (Visa on Arrival) and a completed Customs Declaration (ECD/Electronic Customs Declaration).
The e-VOA can be processed online, while the standard VOA is available at the airport. Electronic gates (autogates) for immigration are available for biometric passports, but they may only be accessible if the visa is in the system (e-VOA is preferred for this).
