Common misconceptions (What misconceptions surround Form e-Visa Application?)
#- Filing this form does not guarantee approval of the underlying case
- Requirements may differ based on your specific situation
- Some applicants assume that submitting the e-Visa Application guarantees entry into Indonesia, but approval is required first.
- An e-visa approval means you can stay as long as you want — E-visas have strict validity periods and authorized stay durations. Overstaying can result in penalties or future visa denials.
Edge cases and variations
#- If you are asked to submit or update e-Visa Application, treat it as a package update: check every place the same details appear and keep them consistent.
In-depth guidance
#How to complete this form reliably
Treat e-Visa Application as part of a system, not a standalone document. Most delays happen when details conflict across the form, supporting documents, and other parts of the application package. Before you start, gather the documents you will reference and decide which one is the source of truth for each field.
Fill the form in one sitting if possible. Partially-completed forms are where inconsistent edits creep in. When you finish, review each section and ask "what evidence in my package proves this statement?"
Scenarios
#A Dutch tourist applies for an Indonesia e-Visa through the official Molina portal for a 60-day B211A social visa.
e-Visa approved within 3 business days. Visa sent to email and must be printed or shown electronically at immigration.
Apply through the official Molina (imigrasi.go.id) portal. Third-party visa agent websites charge premiums for the same service.
A traveler applies for an e-Visa but selects the wrong visa type (social visa instead of business visa) for their conference attendance.
Entry allowed but activities restricted to the social visa scope. Conducting business activities on a social visa is technically a violation.
Select the correct visa type for your activities. Business conferences require a business visa, not a social/cultural visa.
An applicant arrives at an Indonesian airport with an e-Visa but the immigration officer cannot find the visa in the system.
Delays at immigration while the officer verifies the visa. The applicant shows the approval email and PDF. Eventually cleared after manual verification.
Print a hard copy of the e-Visa approval email and PDF. Have the application reference number accessible. Electronic display may not always work smoothly.
Key differentiators
#- Unlike Traditional paper visa application: Allows for electronic submission and processing, reducing the need for physical paperwork.
- Unlike Form Sponsor Declaration: Sponsor Declaration Form (Surat Jaminan): Filed together: Required for business and social-cultural e-Visa
- Unlike Form Stay Permit Extension: Stay Permit Extension Application: Next step after approval: Extend stay after arrival on e-Visa (Business pathway)
Why it matters
#Electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) application can be done simultaneously for 5 people
Why it matters: This allows families or groups to apply together, simplifying the process.
Visa Exemption for ASEAN Foreigner is Available
Why it matters: Citizens of ASEAN countries may not need to apply for a visa, saving time and resources.

Why it matters: Failure to submit the arrival card can lead to entry issues upon arrival in Indonesia.
