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

Short answer
Overstaying your visa in Indonesia incurs a penalty of 1,000,000 IDR per day. To avoid technical issues with the e-VoA portal, apply for extensions at least 14 days before expiration or visit an immigration office if payment status errors occur.

From real experience

Overstaying a visa in Indonesia can incur penalties.
For extensions of up to 10 days, payment can typically be made at the airport. Overstays up to 60 days may also be settled at the airport without further consequences, provided all procedures are followed correctly. However, it is crucial to regularize your stay to avoid issues with immigration authorities upon departure or future entries.

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.
