Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can extend once for another 30 days. The extension costs about 500,000 IDR and must be done at an immigration office (Kantor Imigrasi) before your first 30 days expire. You'll need your passport, a recent photo, and proof of onward travel. The process takes 3–5 working days.
You'll need a different visa, like a Social Visa (B-211) or a Business Visa. These are applied for in advance at an Indonesian embassy or through a sponsor. They allow stays of up to 60 days, extendable up to 6 months. The VoA is not extendable beyond 60 days total.
No. The 6-month rule is strictly enforced. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding by the airline or entry by immigration. Renew your passport first.
If you stay in the international transit area and don't pass through immigration, you don't need a visa. But if you leave the airport (e.g., for a layover in Bali), you'll need a VoA. Check with your airline for transit rules.
Cash is accepted in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), US Dollars (USD), and Euros (EUR). Credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard) are accepted at most major airports, but smaller airports may be cash-only. Always carry 500,000 IDR in cash as backup.
