How to Extend Bali Visa on Arrival (VOA) in 2025

Quick Answer: Whether you got your VOA at the airport or applied for an e-VOA online, you can extend your visa either offline at a local Immigration Office or online via the official eVisa website evisa.imigrasi.go.id (or through a trusted agent like Visa BaliEasy). However, all VOA extensions require one in-person biometric session at a local Immigration Office in Indonesia (photo, fingerprint, and signature).

For a faster, stress-free process, use Visa BaliEasy’s VOA Extension Service, Visa BaliEasy handles everything for you.

Can You Extend Your Visa on Arrival in Bali?

Yes, you can extend a Visa on Arrival once, giving you an extra 30 days, for a total of 60 days in Indonesia. The VOA extension is available for citizens of 90+ countries, including the US, UK, Australia, most of Europe, and many Asian countries.

Note: In the context of visa extension in Indonesia, biometric refers to the mandatory in-person collection of your photo, fingerprints, and digital signature at an Immigration Office. This step is required for all VOA and e‑VOA extensions, even if the application itself was submitted online.

Option 1: In-Person Extension at Immigration Office

You can extend your Visa on Arrival directly at one of Bali’s local Immigration Offices (Denpasar, Jimbaran, and Singaraja), regardless of whether you got it at the airport or online.

Here’s how to do it step by step:

1. Prepare These Documents:

• Original passport
• Copy of your flight ticket
• Recent passport-sized color photo

2. Visit Immigration Office

Dress appropriately, shoes required, and your shoulders/knees must be covered. No tank tops or shorts.

3. Submit Documents & Pay Fee

Fill out the extension form and pay the IDR 500,000 fee.

4. Biometrics Session

You’ll be called in on a later date for fingerprinting and photo.

5. Collect Your Passport

Usually 3–5 business days after your biometrics.

Option 2: How to Extend Your Bali Visa on Arrival Online

You can start your VOA/eVOA extension process online via evisa.imigrasi.go.id or through a registered agent. However, regardless of how your VOA was issued, you’re still required to visit an immigration office in Indonesia to complete a biometric session and finalize the extension.

Since May 2025, Indonesian Immigration has implemented a hybrid system for all visa extensions (Circular No. IMI-417.GR.01.01/2025), which combines online submission with mandatory in-person verification.

1. Start Online at the Official Portal

Go to evisa.imigrasi.go.id and select “Find Existing Stay Permit” to retrieve your VOA record.

2. Upload Required Documents

• Passport (valid for at least 6 months)
• Recent passport-style photo
• Arrival information or flight ticket

3. Pay the Extension Fee

Pay IDR 500,000 through the official payment gateway.

4. Attend Immigration Appointment

After online submission, you’ll receive instructions to visit the nearest Kantor Imigrasi (Immigration Office), in Bali, usually Ngurah Rai, Denpasar, Jimbaran, or Singaraja.

You’ll need to complete:

• Biometric photo and fingerprint
• Document verification
• Short interview (if requested)

5. Receive Approval by Email

After the in-person session, your visa extension is processed and approved. The updated stay permit (valid for an additional 30 days) will be emailed within a few business days.

When Should You Apply for Extension?

✅ Best time to apply:

To prevent any issues or overstaying, make sure to apply for your visa extension at least 14 days before it expires.

Regular eVOA extensions typically take 10–14 days to process, while express service options are available and can be completed in 3–5 days for a higher fee.

This gives Immigration enough time to process your application while keeping your stay legal.

❌ Too early:

If you apply too soon, the Immigration system may reject or delay your submission, extensions can only be made once your current visa is within its valid renewal window.

❌ Too late:

If your visa expires before your extension is approved, you’ll be considered overstaying. The official fine is IDR 1,000,000 per day (about USD 60), and even a short delay can cause serious issues when you exit Indonesia.
