### Steps for Eligibility Verification

1. **Check Nationality**: Verify if the passport holder's country is on the official list of VoA eligible countries.

2. **Documentation Review**: Ensure all required documents are prepared as outlined above.

3. **Immigration Screening**: Upon arrival in Indonesia, immigration officers will perform a screening process to validate the traveler's documents and eligibility for VoA.

4. **Approval Process**: If the traveler meets all requirements and passes the screening, the visa will be issued upon entry.

### Special Notes

- The B1 Tourist Visa cannot be converted into a Limited Stay Permit (KITAS) and overstaying may incur fines of IDR 1,000,000 per day.

- Visa applications should be processed at least 7 days before the initial 30-day period expires for extensions.

- Travelers from countries not on the VoA list must apply for a different type of visa prior to traveling to Indonesia.

For successful processing and adherence to Indonesian immigration regulations, always verify VoA eligibility before travel.
