If you want to stay longer in Indonesia, you are required to provide sound reasoning to immigration and customs. Failure to do so will lead to you becoming an overstayer. Overstayers are punishable by fines, penalties, and even imprisonment if the crime is severe.

Overstaying is when you don’t leave the country once your visa has expired. The immigration will charge you a fine of Rp1.000.000 per day for up to 60 days. Within that period, you will also need to provide sound reasoning as to why you committed it. If you still are overstaying, or worse, run away and avoid immigration, you will have to face deportation, blacklisting, or even imprisonment.

You can only do a Visa on Arrival extension once. But even with a single extension, you can enjoy a total stay of 60 days. Once your visa expires, you have to leave the country.

Visa on Arrival extension can take up to 14 working days. If you happen to have a tight schedule, you can rely on a visa extension service from a Bali visa agent like Kamala Visa Bali.

All you have to prepare is your original passport and arrival ticket within the visa validity period.

3. Immigration starts the Visa on Arrival extension process.
4. They will notify us if you are required to do a biometric session. Usually, it will take 5-7 days before they call you for the session.
5. Once you’re called for a biometric session, one of our team will welcome you at the immigration office and guide you through the process.
6. After the biometric session, you will have to wait until they complete the extension process.

While in the middle of a VoA extension, your passport is submitted to immigration as part of the extension process. If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry about a passport since you can use your active visa as your identification document.

You will get your passport back once the extension process is complete. You can either take it from the immigration office yourself or if you’re using a VoA extension service, you can have it back via a courier service.
