How can I apply for a Tourist Visa Extension (B-Type)?

1. Self-Service 

If you purchased your electronic B1 ‘Visa on Arrival’ via the immigration website (e-Visa) before your entry into Indonesia, then you can apply for an extension online (if you handle the extension by yourself, don’t use any other website but the official Immigration website (avoid scammer websites!)

If you got your B1 Visit VoA in person at the airport or harbour (sticker in passport), then it cannot be extended online on the immigration website; you will have to visit the Immigration Office in person, three times. 

If you have trouble with navigating immigration website, or do not want to go 3 times to the immigration office we suggest you use the service of a reliable visa agent:

2. Visa Extension Assistance & Service

The Visa Agent can take care of your online extension for you (surcharges usually apply). The benefit is, that you get support and the job done, since they will make sure that all documents are in order, etc.

The Visa Agent can also make the extension of an offline visa (sticker in passport) much easier. You will only have to go ONCE to the immigration office (Kantor Imigrasi).

How often can I extend my B1 Tourist Visa (Voa)?

You can only extend the VoA ONCE (1x). The extension gives you an extra 30 days. Therefore you can stay in Indonesia for a maximum of 60 days. You can NOT extend the Visa beyond 60 days in total. You will need to leave the country within 60 days.

What happens when I overstay my Visa?

If you overstay then the immigration officers will charge you a penalty of IDR 1mio per day. (at the immigration counter at the airport, before going to the duty-free area). 

It is not uncommon that travelers miscalculate a few days here and there. So the officers will not be surprised, nevertheless, they will charge you the penalty.
