• 📝 Important Notes:

  • When applying for the e-VOA, use the port where your cruise first docks in Indonesia as your point of entry—even if you disembark later at a different port 
  • You can list your cruise ship as your accommodation if you're staying onboard.
  • Always confirm with your cruise line that the port is equipped to process e-VOA entries.
