Once you have arrived in Indonesia, then head to the local Immigration Office to start the process, which can be lengthy (I’ve heard of 7-8 days, but it can be over 3 days.). You’d need to leave your passport with them as well as have some passport photos handy.

  • You MUST start the process 7 Days before your 30 day visa runs out.
  • Day one– Go to the immigration office, bring copies of your passport, plane ticket and possibly two recent colour photographs (passport size) on picture-quality papers with clear background and visa on arrival.
    Fill out your visa extension application and hand it in. You will get a receipt that tells you when to come back to pay for your extension – usually the next day.
  • Day two– Hand over the receipt from day one and pay for you visa extension. You will get another receipt that tells you when to come back to pick up your passport- usually the next day.
  • Day three– Head back to the immigration office to pick up your passport. Don’t forget your receipt.

Overstay visitors incur to pay a penalty of US$20.- per day/person (for under 60 days stay). Penalties over 60 days stay could include a 5 year prison sentence or a fine of IDR 25,000,000. ($2,500)[pro_ad_display_adzone id=”735″]
