How do you extend your stay in Indonesia in 2026?

Visa on Arrival (index B in common tourist use) usually grants about 30 days on arrival and can be extended once for about 30 more days, for roughly 60 days total. A second VOA extension is not the normal path; after the cap you leave and re-enter on a new product or switch to a longer visa. Single-entry visit visas (often discussed as B211A / index C products) can start at 60 or 180 days depending on issuance, then extend in published increments up to the overall stay ceiling Immigration lists for that index.

Official tables also cover multiple-entry visit visas with their own first grant and extension caps. Pre-investment and some special indexes follow separate rows. Read the live Imigrasi visit-stay table for your exact index rather than copying a friend’s Bali VOA story onto a business visit stamp.

Use evisa.imigrasi.go.id. Claim or find your stay permit batch, update the Indonesian address and postal code for the days ahead, upload the requested passport and ticket scans, then pay through Simponi, bank, or other listed channels before the billing code expires. Local offices publish windows such as applying from about 14 days after arrival and no later than about 7 days before expiry for VOA; treat those as office-specific and confirm on the page for your city.

Within a few days after payment you must attend the Kantor Imigrasi whose working area covers the postal code you entered, for photo and interview. A wrong Canggu address that points to the wrong kanim creates wasted trips. Keep an Indonesian number active for OTP and appointment mail: Get a mobile phone. Overstay days accrue daily fines before officers accept a late file. If you need months of lawful stay for work or family, switch to a proper residence permit / KITAS path instead of stacking tourist extensions.
