How to Extend a 30-Day Visa in Indonesia
If you’re visiting Indonesia on a Visa on Arrival (VoA) or e-VoA, you are allowed to stay for 30 days.
To extend an Indonesian C1 Tourist Visa (60 days), you can apply for a one-time 60-day extension twice, extending your total stay to 180 days.
Initiate the process on the official eVisa website 14 days before expiration.
The process requires a passport and a visit to an immigration office for biometrics, or by using a local agency.
Foreign visitors holding a tourist C1 visa now have the option to start the extension process online via the official Indonesian immigration eVisa portal at evisa.imigrasi.go.id. You will need to:
‑ Log in to your immigration account.
‑ Select the option to extend your stay permit (izin tinggal) for the C1 visa category.
‑ Upload required documents
Regardless of the online start, immigration generally requires applicants to visit a local immigration office for a biometric capture (photo and fingerprints) and possibly a short check of your details.
This visit is scheduled once your online submission is accepted.
‑ Typically you may start the extension process within about 14 days prior to your permit’s expiry. Applying too early or after expiry could cause delays or penalties.
‑ Some immigration offices strictly enforce this window, so planning ahead is prudent.
Once your application has been lodged and biometric appointment attended, immigration processes the extension. Many extensions complete within a few working days, but always allow extra time for public holidays or peak periods.
After approval, your new stay permit (ITK) will be issued and made available as a digital document. It confirms your extended legal stay.
You do not receive a new sticker in your passport; the electronic ITK serves as your valid extension.

The C1 visa can be extended up to two times, with each extension granting an additional 60 days of stay.
This allows for a total maximum stay of 180 days in Indonesia without leaving the country.
After reaching the 180-day limit, you must exit Indonesia.
To avoid penalties or complications, it is essential to start the visa extension process before your current stay permit expires.
Applying for an extension in advance allows enough time for processing and avoids the risk of overstaying.
If you stay beyond the permitted duration without an approved extension, you could face fines or even deportation, depending on the duration of the overstay.
Therefore, timely action is critical to ensuring a smooth extension process.
Overstaying your visa in Indonesia can lead to significant fines and legal consequences.
The standard penalty for overstaying is IDR 1,000,000 per day, which can quickly accumulate if the overstay is prolonged.
If you exceed the allowed stay for more than 60 days, deportation and a potential entry ban may be enforced.
In cases of overstay, you may be required to pay the fine directly at the immigration office before leaving the country.
To avoid complications, it’s essential to either extend your visa on time or leave Indonesia before your visa expires.
For each extension request you will usually need:
Indonesian immigration charges a government fee for each visa extension. The cost may vary depending on the location and any official changes to the fee structure.
Additionally, if you choose to use a visa agent, their service fees will be added to the government charges.
