The B1 Standard Tourist Visa for Bali, Indonesia – VoA / e-VoA
A Visa that has “Many Names”
This Visit Visa is also known as Visa on Arrival or VoA, eVoa while the correct Visa code is now B1 (tourism purpose).
The name Visa in Arrival is a bit misleading because it can be purchased already online BEFORE your arrival (advisable). The term was used, before online application was available. To get the visa upon arrival at the airport or harbour is also still possible if you missed getting it online before you arrive.
