Visa extension
The most common request we get, and the most time-sensitive. You are already here, the date on the stamp is close, and an extension is filed inside the country at an immigration office — not bought online at the last minute. How far it goes depends on which visa you came in on.

Questions people ask
- When should I start the extension?
- About two weeks before expiry. The process involves an office, a queue and sometimes a second visit, and leaving it to the final days is how people end up overstaying by accident.
- What does an overstay cost?
- Indonesia charges a fine for each day past the expiry date, and a long overstay escalates to deportation and a ban on returning. The daily figure is set by immigration and is worth confirming rather than assuming.
- Can you extend my visa if I am not in Bali?
- Extensions are filed at the immigration office covering where you actually are, so tell your agent which island and which city you are on. It changes which office handles the case.
