Bali’s beautiful scenery and captivating culture often convince visitors to prolong their stay. If you’re considering doing so, then you must be prepared to apply for a visa extension. This guide explains the types of Indonesia’s visa eligible for extension and provides a detailed walkthrough of the extension process in Bali.  

Types of Indonesian Visas for Foreigners to Extend 

Indonesia provides a range of visas designed for different purposes for foreign nationals. Nevertheless, the following visas are commonly extended in Bali: 

1. Visa on Arrival (VoA): Initial validity period for this type of visa is 30 days and extendable only for another 30 days. 

2. Single-entry visa for tourism and Visa on Arrival: Initially valid for 60 days and extendable twice (total stay is 180 days), tourists often extend this for another month to have various experiences in Bali. 

3. Multiple Entry Business Visa: Targeting business travelers. Iit’s valid for a year but requires exits every 60 days. 

4. Retirement Visa: If you’re 55 and up, you can consider this type of visa. It’s valid for a year and can be renewed annually.  

Detailed Visa Extension Process in Bali

Here’s how the applicant process works:

  1. Start Early: Begin at least two weeks before your visa expires to anticipate unforeseen delays.

  1. Immigration Office Visits: The primary office in Denpasar will be your frequent destination. Dress politely (no shorts and sandals) and show respect for local norms. Be prepared for multiple visits because the visa extension process isn’t a one-time affair. 

  1. Document Preparation:
  • Passport: Must have at least 6 months validity.
  • Copies of passport detail pages and current visa page.
  • Application form: Available online and at the immigration office.
  • Recent passport-size photo.
  • Proof of onward journey: usually a flight ticket.
  • Fee: Approximately 500,000 IDR for Tourist Visas.

  1. Sequential Steps:
  • Day 1: Submit your documents. Get a receipt.
  • Day 3-5: Return for a biometric and photo session.
  • Day 7: Ideally, this is when you retrieve your passport with the extended visa. However, sometimes you might have more waiting periods or be asked to return on a different day, adding to the number of immigration visits.
