In short

Either way, you need a passport valid 6+ months and a return or onward ticket.

  • VoA is paid on arrival — cash (IDR) or major cards, at the immigration counter
  • Visa Exemption cannot be extended or converted to another visa type
  • Both allow tourism, social visits and short business trips
  • Bring a printed or digital copy of your return ticket, just in case
