Alright, so I needed to get this Indonesian visa thing sorted, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a journey. I decided to go the online route because, well, who wants to deal with all that paperwork and standing in lines, right? First things first, I started digging around on the internet to see what I needed and what types of visas were even available.
Turns out there’s a whole bunch of them – A1, F2, F3, you name it. They have these codes like B2, B3, B213, and so on. I needed one for just regular tourism, but I saw there were options for business travelers too. The online visa I wanted was called an “Electronic Visa on Arrival,” or e-VOA as they call it. It seemed like the right fit since I’m just planning a simple holiday in Indonesia, nothing too fancy.
After figuring out the type of visa, I found the official website where you can apply. It’s all pretty straightforward, but you gotta make sure you have all your documents scanned and ready. They ask for the usual stuff – your passport details, a photo, and some other personal information. I filled out the forms, which took a bit of time because you don’t want to make any mistakes on these things.
Once I got all my information in, I double-checked everything and hit the submit button. Then came the payment part. They had a few options, but I went with the credit card since it’s the easiest for me. Processed that, and bam, confirmation email in my inbox. They said it would take a few days to process, but it was surprisingly quick.

Just make sure you get the right visa type, and you’re golden!
