Sure, no problem – 25USD for a 30 day visa and 15 for a week
Bring USD or you will get a horrible exchange rate
You can get a visa on arrival for 30 days for $25U.S, but if you want to stay longer you need to apply for a 60 day visa at the Indonesian Consulate in places like Singapore or Penang.
Do a search for pPamela and you will find loads of information I have written about my experiences in getting 60 day visas in both places last year when I was travelling in Indonesia for 5.5 months.

I used to just take a 90 dollar return flight to Singapore instead of dealing with visa extensions. Now I know a guy in immigration that checks me in and out for 50 bucks so I don’t have to do visa runs
Pamela – do you live in Indo?
No, sadly I don't.
Live in Sydney. What you do would make me really nervous so I prefer to go out and come back in. I never want to do anything that would have me black listed and I could never return to Indonesia. I would want to die if I could not go back to Indonesia.
