Are there any difficulties being able to stay for extended periods in Indonesia?
The current tourist visa is for a period of 30 days and costs US$25 if you are eligible for the Visa on Arrival (VOA) facility. Alternatives to this are the Social Visit Visa which requires some form of sponsorship and is valid for 60 days. Another alternative is the over 55 years old residency visa. This requires more processing and extra costs but is better for those over 55 who want to stay for extended periods. Further information on the various types of visa available for visitors and intending residents can be found on the Indonesian Immigration Website at http://www.imigrasi.go.id/ Go to the panel on the left hand side and chose Foreigners and then Concerning Visa.
