Impact of Overstays on Future Bali Entries and Immigration Records

Overstaying your visa in Bali is more than just paying a Rp 1,000,000/day fine. Every overstay is recorded in Indonesia’s immigration system and may affect your future entries, visa approvals, and stay permits. Under Indonesia’s Immigration Law, overstays up to 60 days are administrative violations, while longer overstays can trigger deportation and blacklisting.

Problems for Future Entries

1. Your Overstay Is Permanently Recorded

Indonesia’s immigration system logs overstays, deportations, and violations. Even after paying the fine, the record remains visible during future arrivals.

2. Extra Scrutiny Upon Re-entry

You may face:

• Secondary inspection
• Questions about itinerary, proof of funds, onward ticket
• Requests for accommodation details

3. Visa Applications Can Be Affected

A prior overstay may make approvals slower or more difficult for your visa applications.

4. Long Overstays (>60 Days) = Serious Consequences

If you exceed 60 days, immigration can apply:

• Mandatory deportation
• Entry ban / blacklist
• Ban periods may range from several months to years.

Deportation Risk

1. Overstay < 60 Days

• If you pay the fine → normally no deportation.
• If you cannot pay → deportation + possible entry ban.

2. Overstay > 60 Days

• Automatically treated as a major violation.
• Deportation + blacklisting

3. Detention Before Deportation

Individuals may be held in an Immigration Detention House while waiting for travel documents and flight arrangements.

4. Risk of Longer Bans

Besides overstay, illegal work, misuse of visa, or criminal issues can lead to longer or even lifetime bans.
