Indonesia's Directorate General of Immigration published a list of 97 countries whose citizens are eligible for a visa on arrival. Six African countries, including South Africa, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Morocco, and Mozambique, are on the list, along with Seychelles.
Why it matters

The B1 visa on arrival permits an initial 30-day stay that can be extended once by another 30 days, for a maximum of 60 days. The stay period is calculated from the date of entry into Indonesia.
