Payment methods for entry

Virtual cards from fintech services like 'Pay to the World' or 'WantPay' are generally not accepted for paying Indonesian visa fees online. It is recommended to use standard credit or debit cards that are widely accepted for international transactions.

If you don't have an electronic card, you can pay for the Indonesian e-visa at the airport. Alternatively, explore options through currency exchange chats to facilitate payment.

Official cost of Indonesian Visa on Arrival (VOA) is 500,000 IDR. When paying on-site with foreign currency or credit cards, exchange rate discrepancies often lead to extra fees. To avoid overpayment, travelers should pay the exact amount in local currency (IDR) or use the official online portal prior to arrival.

Visa types (e.g., C1 vs B1) must align with the duration and purpose of the stay. Traveling with a new passport while the old one is expiring is risky; it is recommended to update passport details in the airline booking before the flight. For money, cash USD (new bills, post-2017) are preferred in Bali, as older bills are frequently rejected at exchange offices.
