When it's 6:00 PM in Houston, it's 7:00 AM (next day) in Tarakan.
US passport holders can obtain a Visa on Arrival (VOA) at Indonesian airports for stays up to 30 days. The VOA costs IDR 500,000 (about $31) payable by card or cash at the VOA counter before immigration. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry with at least 2 blank pages. A return or onward ticket is required. At Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Bali or Soekarno-Hatta (CGK) in Jakarta, proceed to the VOA payment counter first, then to the immigration line.
The 30-day VOA can be extended once for another 30 days (60 days total) at any immigration office in Indonesia. The extension costs IDR 500,000 and takes 5 to 7 working days. Apply at least 7 days before your VOA expires. Indonesia also offers an eVOA applied for at molina.imigrasi.go.id, which costs the same IDR 500,000 but lets you skip the payment counter on arrival and go straight to immigration. For stays beyond 60 days, apply for a B211A social/cultural visa before travel.
