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 date you arrive. The limit does not add up across visits.

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: Single entry, up to 30 days from arrival. The entry date is fixed to the date on your application.
No extension on the e-VOA: The e-VOA cannot be extended. To stay longer, apply for a residence permit or another visa at an Indonesian immigration office before your stay ends.
Limits do not add up: Each entry gets its own 30 days. Leaving and returning does not reset the count on the same visa, and days do not carry over.
Overstaying: 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.

Questions Taiwanese travellers actually ask

Yes, for a typical tourist trip you need an e-VOA. You apply for it online before you fly. Confirm your passport's status on the official e-VOA list before you travel, because the official sources could not be checked for this guide.

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

The official portal accepts applications up to 14 days before travel. The government advises finishing at least 48 hours before you depart. Applying about a week ahead leaves room for processing.

The e-VOA only works at the named international airports, seaports and land crossings on the official list. If you arrive elsewhere, the e-VOA does not apply. Check the list before you book.

Yes. Submit it online within 3 days before you arrive. You get a QR code by email to show at the border with your passport.

The official portal accepts Mastercard, Visa and JCB only. The card must have 3D Secure enabled and be open to international payments. It does not need to be in your own name.

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 Taiwanese plug won't fit. Here's what will.

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

Type C

Indonesia uses type C and F sockets and your plugs are type A and B. An A-to-C adapter works for the whole trip.

Voltage

230 V · 50 Hz

Against 110 V · 60 Hz at home. Check the label on chargers and appliances: anything marked 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz works in both.

Pack: one type C adapter and a small power strip — hotel rooms rarely have more than two sockets.

Indonesia drives on the left — the opposite of home

Compare traffic side:

Indonesia · left-hand traffic — the opposite of Taiwan

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).

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.
