Michael Zervos from Project Kosmos recommends:

"Indonesia has an auto gate system where they do not stamp your passport when you have the pre-approval (eVOA) - making the entry process much faster. No queues!"

Indonesia eVOA before traveling: A convenient alternative

Here's why many Canadian travelers are choosing this option:

• Apply online before your trip.
• No need to queue at the VOA counter upon arrival.
• Faster processing at immigration.
• Peace of mind knowing your visa is pre-approved.

Feedback from a recent traveler:

"The biggest difference is that the eVOA can be extended for an additional 30 days online, the VOA can also be extended but needs a migration agent in Bali to do the application. If you think you might go past 30 days the eVOA is a much better choice." - Paula M., Cape Town

We specialize in making the eVOA application process as smooth as possible. Our user-friendly platform guides you through each step, ensuring all required information is correctly submitted.

With our average processing time of just 1 business day, you can secure your eVOA quickly and efficiently.
