Ensure you have a valid credit card or cash (EUR, USD, AUD, GBP, SGD).

Note: You have to queue first to purchase the visa and then queue again in front of the immigration counters. And queues can be rather long. You cannot use the fast e-Gates if you obtain your Visa on arrival in person.

Nationalities below can enter into Indonesia with the B1 TOURIST Visa. If your nationality is not listed, you need at least a C1 Tourist Visa to Visit Indonesia

The official name of the Visa is B1 Tourist VIsa

The Visa is also called Visa on arrival, because the Visa was previously only available upon arrival. Regular travelers to Bali will painfully remember the queuing process. Since Indonesia implemented the option to apply for the Visa online (e-Visa) the name is a bit confusing now and will probably die out. 

The B is the Visa Classification, the number indicates the travel purpose. B1 for Tourism.
