For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

F1 is a visa on arrival: it can only be applied for in person by the foreign national at certain immigration checkpoints, by nationals of countries eligible for the visa on arrival. Stateless persons and holders of travel documents other than a national passport (temporary or emergency passports, titre de voyage, certificate of identity, laissez-passer, etc.) may not apply for a visa on arrival.

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

F1 with a 7-day stay is granted only at sea-port immigration checkpoints in the Riau Islands (Batam, Tanjung Pinang, Tanjung Uban and Tanjung Balai Karimun). The fee (Rp250,000) is paid at a designated bank counter in the immigration area, the payment voucher is shown to the visa-on-arrival counter, and a visa sticker and electronic entry stamp are issued. The stay cannot be extended and cannot be converted to another stay permit; no sponsor is needed.
