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

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.

Notes

Offline at Immigration Office Walk-in extensions at Immigration Offices are no longer available.
If you visit the office, staff will guide you to submit your extension online via the official portal (evisa.imigrasi.go.id).
Your biometric session (photo and fingerprints) will still be scheduled and confirmed via email.
The appointment must be completed within 3 days after applying or paying the extension fee, same as the online process.
Online via eVisa or Agent You can submit your extension application online, but you still must attend one biometric session at the Immigration Office.

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
  • Current visa (VOA/e-VOA)
  • Current ITK/stay permit, if applicable (especially for online visas or if the visa/ITK is not stamped in your 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.

 

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 submitting your extension online, you’ll receive instructions via email for your biometric appointment.

The appointment must be attended within 3 days of applying or paying the extension fee.

Your passport does not need to be held by immigration; you can keep it after completing the biometric session. If any officer requests it, ask for the purpose and urgency.

You’ll need to complete:

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

Note: Your passport does not need to be held by immigration for extensions. You may keep it after the biometric session. If any officer requests it, ask for the purpose and urgency.

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.

If you apply through a visa agency like Visa BaliEasy, you can choose Regular or Express processing, with different fees.

If you submit directly on the official eVisa portal yourself, the processing timeline depends on the system and Immigration workload, but the same online rules apply that you still need a biometric appointment within 3 days of applying or paying.

❌ 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.
