How to Extend Your Tourist Visa in Indonesia
Short answer
Yes. A Visa on Arrival (B1) can be extended once, by 30 days, for IDR 500,000 (about $35) — so up to 60 days total in Bali or anywhere in Indonesia. To stay longer you switch to a B211A visit visa (extendable to 180 days) or leave and re-enter.
How long can you actually stay?
A Visa on Arrival gives 30 days, extendable once by 30 days, for 60 days in total. Beyond that the VOA cannot be extended again — you either leave and re-enter, or apply for a B211A visit visa, which can be extended up to 180 days.
Step by step: extend at immigration
- Start about 2 weeks before your VOA expires — extensions can't be done at the last minute.
- If you bought an e-VOA online before arrival, you can apply to extend online; a VOA sticker bought at the airport must be extended in person.
- Since June 2025 everyone must attend the immigration office in person once for biometrics (photo + fingerprints), even for online applications.
- Bring your passport, VOA/entry stamp, and Indonesian address; pay the IDR 500,000 fee.
- Collect your passport with the 30-day extension stamp after processing (typically several working days).
