Understanding Indonesia visa requirements for Canadians

Canadian citizens require a visa to enter Indonesia, and the eVOA (Electronic Visa on Arrival) provides the most convenient option. Through our platform, we've processed thousands of successful applications for Canadian travelers.

You only need:

  • A valid passport with minimum 6 months validity from planned arrival date.
  • Digital passport-style photograph.
  • Return flight ticket confirmation.
  • Proof of accommodation in Indonesia.
  • Sufficient funds for your stay.

Learn more about the Indonesia eVOA.

How to apply for your Indonesia Electronic Visa on Arrival (eVOA)

Indonesia now offers a pre-registering Visa on Arrival (eVOA) service for Canadians looking for a convenient option.

Step 1: Complete our user-friendly online form on our website or mobile app with your personal and passport information, along with your travel details.

Step 2: Make the eVisa payment using our secure payment platform.

Step 3: Receive your approved eVOA via email, print it, and present it with your passport upon arrival in Indonesia.

iVisa Pro Tip: Based on customer feedback, we recommend applying at least 7 days before your intended travel date to allow for any potential processing delays.

How to get your Indonesia Visa on Arrival at an Indonesian airport

If you prefer to get your visa on arrival in Indonesia:

  1. Arrive at one of the designated entry points (more than 15 airports and borders) in Indonesia.

  2. Proceed to the Visa on Arrival counter before passing through immigration.

  3. Present your passport and required documents.

  4. Pay the visa fee (currently 500,000 IDR or approximately $35 USD).

  5. Receive your VOA sticker in your passport.

  6. Proceed to the immigration counter for entry stamp and fingerprinting.

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.
