🆂 The good news? Yes—you can extend your tourist visa in Bali in 2025 ✅ But you need to know which visa you have, how long it can be extended, and whether you need to visit immigration or use a visa agent.
🆃 “I didn’t know I had to start the extension process a week before my visa expired,” says Marcus, a traveler from Canada. “Thankfully, I found the right info just in time. This blog saved my trip.” 💬
🅴 For example, a Visa on Arrival can be extended once for 30 more days, while a B211A e-Visa can offer a longer stay—but requires more paperwork 📄

Can Tourists Extend a Visa on Arrival (VOA) in Bali in 2025? 🛂
Yes—Visa on Arrival (VOA) holders can extend their stay once for another 30 days. That means you can stay in Bali for up to 60 days total (30 + 30). The extension must be done before your first 30 days expire.
You can apply through an immigration office or a licensed visa agent. The process takes about 5–10 business days, so start early!
How Many Days Can a Tourist Stay in Bali with an Extension? 📅
The maximum stay with a VOA is 60 days. If you entered on an e-VOA, the rule is the same—one extension allowed, no more.
If you’re on a B211A visa, you can stay up to 180 days (60 days + two 60-day extensions), depending on the visa type and purpose.
Be careful: no visa allows unlimited extensions without leaving the country ✈️
What Is the Process to Extend a Tourist Visa in Indonesia? 📝
To extend your VOA:
Go to the local immigration office or use a visa agent
Submit your passport + extension form
Pay the 500,000 IDR fee
Return for a biometric session (photo + fingerprints)
Collect your passport with new visa stamp in 7–10 days 🧾
Using an agent makes the process easier, especially if you don’t speak Bahasa Indonesia or want to avoid queues.
Should You Use a Visa Agent or Go to Immigration Yourself? 🧑💼
✅ Use a visa agent if:
You want to avoid paperwork
You don’t have time to visit immigration multiple times
You want help tracking deadlines
🟡 Go in person if:
You’re on a budget
You speak some Bahasa Indonesia
You enjoy handling documents yourself
Both options are valid, but don’t delay—late extensions may lead to fines ⚠️
What Happens If You Overstay Your Tourist Visa in Bali? ⚠️
Overstaying even 1 day = 1,000,000 IDR fine per day. If you overstay more than 60 days, you could be deported, blacklisted, or denied re-entry to Indonesia.
Immigration checks your visa dates carefully—don’t risk it. Use a calendar reminder or set up alerts on your phone 📅📲
Can a B211A e-Visa Be Extended for Long-Term Stays? 🧳
Yes! The B211A visa is perfect for digital nomads, long holidays, or retreats. It starts with 60 days, and you can extend it twice, each time for 60 days—giving you up to 180 days total.
Extensions must be done through a visa agent or legal sponsor, and you can’t convert this visa into a KITAS without leaving the country.
How Much Does a Tourist Visa Extension Cost in 2025? 💵
Here are the expected costs:
VOA/e-VOA extension fee: 500,000 IDR
B211A extension (each): 2,000,000–3,000,000 IDR (via agent)
Agent service fee (optional): 300,000–700,000 IDR
Prices may vary by region and speed of service. Always ask for a clear receipt and deal with licensed agents only ✅
