The 60-day rule, and what it does not mean

An e-VOA allows one entry and a stay of up to 30 days from the arrival date. The stay cannot be extended on the e-VOA itself.

Arrive

Leave

Business trip E-visa: 60 days per visit.

Arrive 1 March

42 of 60 days

1 Mar – 11 Apr: 42 of the 60 days this visa allows in one visit.

e-VOA stay: Up to 30 days per entry, counted from arrival. The e-VOA is single entry.
No simple extension: To stay longer, apply for a residence permit or another visa at an immigration office before the e-VOA stay ends.
Entry point: The e-VOA works only at checkpoints on the official list. Arriving elsewhere means you need a different visa.
Overstay: Overstaying brings a daily fine. An overstay of more than 60 days can lead to detention, deportation or a ban on future travel.

Questions Russian travellers actually ask

Yes. Russian citizens need a visa, but they can apply online for an e-VOA before travel. It allows one entry and a stay of up to 30 days. Russia is on the Indonesian embassy's list of countries whose citizens can use the e-VOA.

There is no cash counter on arrival. Apply online for the e-VOA before you fly. It is issued once your payment and documents are checked.

Up to 30 days from arrival, for one entry. It cannot be extended on the e-VOA itself. To stay longer, apply for a residence permit or another visa at an immigration office before your stay ends.

Only the checkpoints on the official list. It includes airports such as Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta) and Ngurah Rai (Bali), many seaports such as Benoa (Bali), and some cross-border posts. Check the list before you travel. Arriving elsewhere means the e-VOA does not apply.

Yes. Every traveller, including children, submits it online within 3 days before arrival. Show the QR code it sends by email with your passport at the border.

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. With less time left, the application can be refused or you can be denied boarding. Renew your passport before you apply.

Yes. evisa.imigrasi.go.id, run by the Directorate General of Immigration, is the official channel. Other sites that charge a service fee are private agencies, not the government.

Overstaying brings a daily fine. An overstay of more than 60 days can lead to detention, deportation or a ban on future travel to Indonesia.

The things that make the first
48 hours easy, compared with home

Your Russian plug fits. Here's what to expect.

Type C
Two round pins · 2.5 A
Type F
Two round pins · 16 A

Type C

Type C and F sockets are used both at home and in Indonesia, so your own plugs fit.

Voltage

230 V · 50 Hz

Against 220 V · 50 Hz at home. Check the label on chargers and appliances: anything marked 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz works in both.

Pack: nothing special — your type C and F plugs go straight in. A small power strip is still handy where hotel rooms have one socket.

Indonesia drives on the left — the opposite of home

Compare traffic side:

Indonesia · left-hand traffic — the opposite of Russia

Getting around
Indonesia is an archipelago, so domestic flights and ferries link the islands, while ride-hailing apps like Gojek and Grab are the easiest way to get around cities. Traffic in Jakarta and Bali can be heavy, so allow extra time.
Health
Tap water is not safe to drink; use bottled or boiled water. Dengue occurs, so use repellent. Malaria risk exists in rural eastern Indonesia, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Sumatra, but not Jakarta or Bali's resorts; check with a doctor first.
Customs and etiquette
Dress modestly at temples and mosques, and remove shoes before entering homes and places of worship. Indonesia is majority Muslim, so be considerate around prayer times and during Ramadan, especially outside Bali.

Indonesian Rupiahs, cash and cards

Indonesia uses the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR).

RUB

IDR

₽1 ≈ Rp178.9 · indicative mid-market rate, possibly a few days old

Carry cash outside big cities
Cards are mainly accepted in bigger cities and tourist spots like Jakarta and Bali. Many smaller businesses, warungs and markets are cash only, so keep rupiah on hand.
Use ATMs for local currency
ATMs are common in cities and tourist areas. Always choose to be charged in rupiah, not your home currency, to avoid a poor dynamic-conversion rate. Withdrawal limits are often around 2.5-3 million rupiah per transaction.
Exchange only at licensed counters
Change cash at banks or licensed money changers, not informal street counters, to avoid short-changing and counterfeit notes.
