Indonesia, especially the island of Bali, is a popular tourist destination for its beaches, sunsets, and more. Regarding the smoother visa process, VFS Global said in a statement, “Citizens of the 75 eligible countries can apply for their Indonesia visa on arrival through VFS Global by submitting their documents and paying the fees online beforehand at www.indonesiavoa.vfsevisa.id pay for their trip. A confirmation will be sent to the registered email id and the pre-processed visa will be stamped upon arrival. Because the payment was made online, the process on arrival is reduced to visa stamping, which can be done at the designated fast-track visa immigration lanes on arrival,” he writes Indian times.
