Starting June 2025, Indonesia\u2019s visa extension process has changed. Now, travelers must visit an immigration office in person, provide fingerprints, and have their photo taken. If you’re planning to extend your stay in Bali or elsewhere in Indonesia, it’s essential to understand the new rules to avoid fines or visa issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The updated process affects common visa types like the Visa semasa Ketibaan (VoA)<\/a>, single-entry tourist visas (C-visas)<\/a>, dan multiple-entry business<\/a> or tourism visas (D-visas). Not all visas are extendable, and eligibility depends on your nationality and visa type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This complete guide walks you through the latest requirements, steps for extending your visa, and options for doing it yourself or through an agency. Whether you’re already in Indonesia or preparing for your trip, knowing what to expect will help you stay legal and stress-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve extended your Indonesian visa before, get ready for a few big changes. Starting in June 2025<\/strong>, the process is going back to an in-person system, meaning you\u2019ll no longer be able to complete the entire extension online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you happen to overstay<\/a> your visa, expect to pay a fine at the airport<\/strong>, where immigration will handle the situation based on updated policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These updates apply to all extendable visas, so be sure you\u2019re clear on the new steps before your current visa expires. We’ll walk you through what to expect so there are no surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not all Indonesian visas can be extended\u2014and whether yours qualifies depends on the type of visa you have and the country you’re from. Here’s a quick breakdown of the visas that can<\/strong> be extended under the new rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you apply, double-check that your nationality is on Indonesia\u2019s list of eligible countries. It\u2019s the easiest way to avoid delays or rejections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s still unclear is how the new process will work without using a visa agency. Early information suggests that multiple visits to immigration<\/strong> may be required \u2013 similar to the time before digital processing became available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before starting the process, make sure all your documents are in proper order to avoid delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what the self-extension process might look like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s also possible that payment will still be made online and only one visit<\/strong> will be required. We\u2019ll update you here as soon as we know more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep in mind, the process may differ depending on how your original visa was obtained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can choose to use an agency to simplify your visa extension process. If you\u2019d like to extend your stay in Indonesia, we take care of most of the process for you. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you need to change your sponsor or visa type during the extension process, our agency can assist you with the necessary steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udccc You don\u2019t need to send us your passport.<\/strong> A passport scan is sufficient for the online process. You\u2019ll only need your actual passport for the appointment at immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The extension usually takes 7-10 working days. If you are short on time, you can use our express service. The processing time here is only 2-4 working days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can book your visa extension directly on our website<\/strong>. After filling out the application form, we\u2019ll review your data and forward everything to immigration for final approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the direct booking links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please note, you can only book an extension after your visa has been issued. You must also enter Indonesia within the validity period of your visa after it is issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many foreigners aren\u2019t aware of the recent changes to Indonesia\u2019s visa extension process, and that laccan lead to expensive fines or denied travel. If your visa expires before you’ve completed your extension, you could be fined IDR 1,000,000 per day<\/strong>. To avoid this, it’s crucial to start the extension process early (ideally at least 7\u201310 days) before your visa runs out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit the immigration office in person is now mandatory for biometric data (like fingerprints and a photo), and skipping it can lead to major delays. In fact, a recent case reported by the media involved a traveler who paid online but didn\u2019t appear at immigration. He was stopped at the airport and couldn\u2019t leave the country because the process was incomplete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That won\u2019t happen with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We stay updated on all official immigration policies and manage your case from start to finish.
