Can I convert the e-Visa on Arrival to another visa?

Last updated on Aug 30, 2026

The e-Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) can only be converted into a KITAS (temporary stay permit).

To start this process, you must apply for a Bridging Visa approximately 2 weeks before your e-VOA expires. The latest possible time to start the conversion process is 3 days before your visa expires.

Once the Bridging Visa is approved, it will then be converted into your KITAS.

It is not possible to convert the e-VOA into any other visa type (such as C1, D1, etc.).

If you need a different visa, you must:

  1. Leave Indonesia, and
  2. Apply for the new visa from outside the country,
  3. Wait outside of Indonesia until your new visa is ready,
  4. Enter Indonesia once your new visa is issued.
