Latest Regulations to Note:
According to the latest announcement from the Indonesian Immigration Directorate, once your Indonesian Electronic Visa on Arrival (eVisa/e-VoA) has been applied for and issued, whether it can be modified depends on the field in which the error occurred.
Critical Data Errors: Cannot Be Modified, Must Reapply
If you made mistakes in the following core and essential personal information during your application, the eVisa will be considered invalid, and no modifications can be made. Your only solution is to reapply for a new eVisa and pay the relevant fees again.
These critical details include:
- Name
- Citizenship
- Passport Number
Please ensure to double-check that the above information matches your passport exactly before submitting your application. Any error in a single letter or number will render your eVisa invalid.
PS. Fellow travelers report: Having the name order reversed between passport and visa can still pass!
Non-Critical Data Errors: May Be Allowed Entry, But Caution Advised
If the errors you made are in other non-critical information, such as:
- Sex
- Place of Birth
According to the Immigration Bureau, in this situation, you may still be allowed to enter Indonesia using the eVisa, depending on whether the automated gate system lets you through. To avoid any unnecessary trouble or delays at immigration, the safest approach is still to reapply for a correct eVisa.
Summary of Steps
- Immediately check the type of error: First, carefully confirm which piece of information you filled in incorrectly.
Important Reminders:
- When filling out the application, always keep your passport handy and double-check every piece of information to ensure accuracy.
- The system may automatically pull data from the uploaded passport, but errors can still occur. Always manually verify every field.
- Before submitting the application and making payment, use the preview function for a final confirmation.
Wishing you a smooth and enjoyable trip to Bali!
