When your Bali visa expires, the consequences depend on the type of visa you have and how long you overstay. Here’s a clearer picture based on the most recent regulations.
Key Changes You Need to Know
Overstays are now strictly enforced. Even one extra day can carry a heavy fine.
The fine for overstaying is IDR 1,000,000 per day (approximately USD 60‑70).
Overstaying more than 60 days may result in harsher penalties, including detention, deportation, and a ban from re-entry for a period of time.
What This Means by Visa Type
Short‑term Visas (Tourist Visa, Visa on Arrival / e‑VOA):
Fines begin immediately after the visa expires.
If you overstay less than 60 days, you will generally be required to pay the fine before exiting the country.
Overstays longer than 60 days can lead to deportation and a ban from re-entering Indonesia.
Long‑Term Visas (Social, Business, Temporary Stay Permits):
Fines are applied per day of overstay.
Extended overstays can result in legal consequences, deportation, and difficulty obtaining visas in the future.
Additional Penalties and Risks
You may be placed on an immigration blacklist, affecting your ability to enter Indonesia or other countries.
Immigration detention is possible in more serious cases.
Deportation may come with a re-entry ban, depending on the circumstances.
What to Do If Your Visa Is About to Expire
Apply for an extension before your visa expires—ideally 7‑10 days in advance.
Many visa types now require in-person visits to immigration, including biometric processing.
If an extension is not possible, leave the country before your visa expires to avoid penalties.
