Indonesia enforces its immigration laws strictly. Overstaying even by a single day can result in fines of IDR 1,000,000 per day (approximately USD 65), detention, deportation at your own expense, and a re-entry blacklist of 6 months to several years.
Common reasons people overstay: forgetting to count calendar days (not business days), relying on informal advice, and not accounting for public holidays that close immigration offices.
Submit your extension application at least 10 days before expiry. Visa Bali sends automated WhatsApp reminders to all active clients 14 days before any visa expiry. If you have already overstayed, contact us immediately for a confidential consultation.
