Overstay Penalties and Consequences: how it works in Indonesia — first-hand

Short answer
Visa overstays in Indonesia are fined 1,000,000 IDR per day. For e-VoA extensions, apply at least two weeks early to avoid portal glitches and visit an immigration office promptly for mandatory biometric capture to avoid penalties.

From real experience

Visa overstay in Indonesia is fined at 1,000,000 IDR per day.
For short overstays (e.g., 1 day), it is often processed at the airport before departure. For longer periods, official extension at the immigration office is required. Be aware of lengthy wait times (up to 6 hours) at immigration offices.

Online visa extensions for Indonesian e-VoA (C1) cannot be requested earlier than 14 days before expiration.
Users must avoid delaying the request until the final 1-2 days, as the immigration portal frequently experiences synchronization glitches, such as missing 'extend' options or processing errors where payment is deducted but status remains unchanged. Overstaying incurs a fine of 1,000,000 IDR per day. If online payment status fails to update, visit the nearest Immigration Office (Kantor Imigrasi) immediately.

Food availability: convenience stores (like Circle K) sell basic snacks and ready-to-eat items; for fruit or groceries, look for larger supermarkets like Pepito or Grand Lucky.
Transport: ride-hailing (Grab/Gojek) is the standard for avoiding traffic issues. For visa extensions, the fee is 1,000,000 IDR (official). Always check official government sources for immigration updates.
✓ 1 report from chats
Visa extension process in Indonesia (VOA/e-VOA) requires mandatory biometric photo capture at the immigration office within a few days after payment.
Failure to appear results in an overstay, charged at 1,000,000 IDR per day. Absence of an email notification from immigration is not a valid excuse.
