Indonesia Tourist eVisa 30 vs 60 Days: Which Length Should You Choose?

If you are applying for an Indonesia tourist eVisa, the first product decision is usually 30 days vs 60 days. Choosing too short can force an early exit or a stressful extension plan; choosing longer than you need can mean paying for stay you will not use. This guide compares stay length, how fees are framed, and who should pick the 60-day option—then points you to the correct application links.

Before you choose a length, confirm that an online tourist eVisa is the right category for your passport. Some nationalities are Visa on Arrival / e-VoA eligible instead. Start with check requirement if you are unsure.

Stay length at a glance

Tourist eVisa — 30 days

• Single-entry tourist product framed as a 30-day stay
• Best for short holidays, city breaks, or Bali trips with a clear return date inside one month
• Apply via Tourist eVisa 30 days

Tourist eVisa — 60 days

• Single-entry tourist product framed as a 60-day stay
• Best when your itinerary already stretches beyond a month, or you want buffer for multi-island travel
• Apply via Tourist eVisa 60 days

Stay rules, entry stamps, and permitted activities are governed by Indonesian immigration. Treat the approved validity and your passport stamp/electronic record as authoritative—not airline marketing or hotel booking tools.

Fees framing (government + service)

On this site, tourist eVisa pricing is shown with a clear split between:

• Government fee — commonly USD 70 for the 30-day tourist eVisa and USD 130 for the 60-day tourist eVisa (confirm live figures on /fees)
• Service fee — for application support, review, and assistance when you apply through this channel

Use the fees calculator to see totals for one or more passengers before you pay. Do not rely on screenshots or old blog posts for exact amounts—fee pages are the source of truth for this service’s published bands.

How to think about cost vs length

• If your trip is under ~25–28 days with a fixed return ticket, the 30-day product is usually the rational fit.
• If your trip is already 35–55 days, or you have open-ended island hopping with a late return, the 60-day product often avoids mid-trip scramble.
• “Buy 30 and extend later” is not the same decision as buying 60 up front. Extensions (where available for your category) involve local immigration steps, timing, and risk. If you already know you need two months, start with the 60-day option.

Who should pick 60 days

Choose 60 days when one or more of these are true:

1. Your booked itinerary already exceeds 30 days (Bali + Gili + Yogyakarta + Komodo, or similar).
2. Your return flight is flexible and may slip past day 30.
3. You are combining remote islands where rebooking an early exit is expensive.
4. You are travelling with family and want one consistent stay window for everyone on the same eVisa length.
5. You prefer not to depend on an in-country extension for a trip you already know is longer than a month.

Choose 30 days when:

• Your flights and hotels fit comfortably inside 30 days
• You have a hard return date well before day 30
• You want the lower government fee band for a short holiday

If you are VoA-eligible, remember that standard VoA / e-VoA is typically a 30-day path (often extendable once). That is a different product family from tourist eVisa 30/60. Nationality first, then length.

Documents and timing (both lengths)

Regardless of 30 or 60 days, prepare:

• Passport with sufficient validity (commonly 6 months from arrival) and a blank page
• Passport-style photo if the form requires it
• Confirmed onward or return ticket aligned with your approved stay
• Accommodation details and proof of funds as requested
• Accurate personal data that matches your passport exactly

Apply with buffer. Processing is often measured in hours to a couple of working days, but last-minute applications leave no recovery time if details need correction. See also Indonesia eVisa requirements.

Decision checklist

1. Confirm nationality path on /check-requirement.
2. If tourist eVisa applies, map your last day in Indonesia to 30 vs 60.
3. Compare totals on /fees.
4. Apply for the matching product:
   • 30-day tourist eVisa
   • 60-day tourist eVisa
5. Keep your approval and passport details consistent for airline check-in.

Frequently asked questions

Can I upgrade from 30 to 60 after approval?
Plan the correct length before you apply. Do not assume an easy upgrade after submission or after arrival.

Is 60 days always better “just in case”?
Only if the extra fee is worth the buffer. For a 10-day Bali holiday with a fixed return, 30 days is usually enough.

Does the 60-day eVisa mean I must stay 60 days?
No. It frames the maximum stay for that product; leave earlier if your itinerary ends sooner—subject to your ticket and immigration rules.

Where do I see current prices?
Always use /fees.
