Indonesia Visa on Arrival: 30 Days, Extendable Once to 60
Bali and the rest of Indonesia run on a 30-day visa on arrival with a single 30-day extension. Here is how the days are counted, how to extend, and what an overstay costs.

In short: nationals of the countries on Indonesia's list can get a visa on arrival for tourism, at the airport or online in advance as an e-VOA. It allows a stay of 30 days and can be extended once by another 30 days, so 60 days is the most one entry can give you. The fee is Rp 500,000. An overstay costs Rp 1,000,000 per day, and 60 days or more leads to deportation and an entry ban.

The rule
Indonesia's visa on arrival (VoA) is a short tourist visa for passport holders of eligible countries. Since 9 November 2022 the same visa can be obtained online before travel as an electronic visa on arrival (e-VOA), through the Directorate General of Immigration's e-Visa site. Three points decide most cases:
- 30 days per entry. The visa is valid for a stay of 30 days.
- One extension. It can be extended once, for another 30 days. There is no second extension: after 60 days you leave or switch to a different visa.
- Tourism only. A visa on arrival is not a basis for working in Indonesia.
To use it, your passport needs at least six months of validity from your arrival date and a blank page. Indonesian embassies also list a return ticket and proof of health insurance for the stay.
How to count it
The stay runs from your arrival in Indonesia. Count the arrival day as day one, which is the cautious reading, and check the last permitted day shown on your stamp or e-VOA.
A 30-day stay. You land in Bali on 5 March 2027. Day one is 5 March, so day 30 is 3 April 2027.
Extended once. With the 30-day extension, the last day moves to 3 May 2027. Apply before the first 30 days run out.
A new entry gives you a new visa on arrival and a new count. Indonesia publishes no limit on how many visa-on-arrival stays you can have in a year, but each entry is decided at the border.
Overstay fines and bans
An overstay is charged at Rp 1,000,000 for every day, from the first day over, and has to be paid before you leave. That applies up to 59 days. An overstay of 60 days or more leads to deportation and an entry ban, and entry bans can last up to ten years and be extended. If the charge is not paid, deportation can follow even for a shorter overstay.
Beyond the day count
Days on a visa on arrival still count toward Indonesian tax residence, which looks at more than 183 days in any 12 months, across all your stays. See Indonesia's 183-day tax residency rule. For overstays elsewhere, see overstaying a visa or stay limit.
