What the Indonesia Visa on Arrival Covers
The visa on arrival offered by Indonesia for eligible nationals is classified as a B1 visa, designed for single-entry visits. Upon arrival, travellers receive an initial stay permit of up to 30 days, calculated from the date they enter the country.
That 30-day period can be extended once for a further 30 days, bringing the maximum possible stay to 60 days. Additionally, the B1 visa on arrival is eligible for conversion into a different type of stay permit through what Indonesia's immigration authority describes as a bridging visa mechanism, offering flexibility for travellers whose circumstances may change during their time in the country.
The full and official list of eligible countries is available directly on the website of Indonesia's Directorate General of Immigration.

Citizenship: Australia mentions residency years for foreigners
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Australia's Department of Home Affairs outlined the residence requirement foreigners must meet before applying for citizenship.
Applicants must have lived in Australia on a valid visa for a number of years before the date they apply for citizenship.
The rules also specify how much time applicants are allowed to have spent outside Australia during that period.
