Overstay penalties and consequences

A previous deportation from another country may impact your ability to enter Indonesia. Immigration authorities may inquire about past deportations, and having a deportation stamp in your passport could potentially lead to scrutiny or refusal of entry. It is crucial to consult with Indonesian immigration authorities or visa agencies to understand the specific requirements and potential consequences related to past deportations.

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.

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.

Visa on Arrival (VOA) in Indonesia must be purchased and processed correctly at the airport upon arrival if not done online. Skipping the payment or stamp process results in an illegal stay, punishable by a daily fine (1,000,000 IDR per day) and potential issues upon departure.

The 30-day E-VOA duration for Indonesia starts from the moment you clear immigration and enter the country, not the arrival time of the flight. If you pass immigration control at 00:00 on the 30th of the month, that day counts as Day 1 of your stay. Overstaying incurs a penalty fine of 1,000,000 IDR per day.

Deportation from Vietnam, especially if it results in a stamp in your passport, could potentially affect your ability to enter other countries, including Indonesia (Bali). Immigration authorities may inquire about previous deportations. It is advisable to research the specific entry requirements of Indonesia and consult with immigration officials or visa agencies to understand any potential implications of a past deportation.

The fine for overstaying a visa in Indonesia is 1,000,000 IDR per day. It is significantly more cost-effective to extend the visa through official channels before the current one expires.

If a visa is valid until August 22nd, departing on August 23rd would incur a fine of 1,000,000 IDR. It is generally cheaper to extend the visa if departure is delayed. An alternative is a short trip to a neighboring country like Malaysia and re-entry.

Using fake flight bookings for immigration purposes in Bali is risky and can lead to serious consequences, including fines or deportation, if checked and found to be fraudulent. Immigration officials or airline staff at check-in may verify bookings. It is safer to purchase a legitimate, inexpensive outbound ticket to a nearby country (e.g., Medan or Penang) to meet immigration requirements.

Foreigners who overstay their visa in Indonesia face deportation and detention. Even with long-term residency permits like a family KITAS, failure to extend the permit results in legal consequences, regardless of the excuse provided to immigration authorities.

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.
