Visa extension in Bali: VOA, C1, D12 and KITAS

When to message us about an extension

The terms are counted from the date of entry or from the date in the visa. The earlier you write, the calmer it is: the extension only starts once it is filed.

What the law says about the deadlines. Under article 97 of Minister of Law Regulation No. 11/2024, extensions of the visa on arrival, C1 and D12 are accepted no earlier than 14 days before the end of the stay and no later than its last day. A one-year KITAS has its own rule: no earlier than 30 days and no later than the last day (Regulation No. 22/2023, article 116). The Ngurah Rai immigration office on its page «Layanan WNA» advises applying no later than 7 days before, so there is time for the photo and interview (checked on 5 November 2026).

How many times a visa can be extended is set by article 95 of Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation No. 22/2023: the visa on arrival once for 30 days, no more than 60 days in the country in total; single- and multiple-entry visit visas (for example C1) for 60 days at a time, no more than 180 days in total; the pre-investment visa (D12) for 180 days at a time, no more than 12 months in total.

Your stay is running out: what to do today

1. Check the expiry date: it is in the visa, the stamp or the KITAS itself
2. Message us your visa type and the date, we will tell you whether you are in time and what is better
3. Send a photo of your passport, a waist-up photo with covered shoulders, your current visa and your address as a Google Maps link
4. For a visa on arrival extension have a real onward ticket ready: currently the extension does not go through without it

How to extend a visa on arrival yourself: three steps

You can extend the visa on arrival yourself on the immigration portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id. The order is as follows (we checked the portal home page and the visa search form on 10 November 2026):

1. On the portal home page choose «Extend My Visa» and find your visa by passport number, citizenship and date of birth
2. In the application update your address with the correct postcode, upload the files the system asks for and pay the fee
3. After payment you get an email with the date of the photo and interview at the immigration office responsible for your address. Bring your passport, the payment confirmation and your ticket

If you would rather not deal with the portal, we file the application, pay the fee and book the appointment, and you come to the photo and interview.

Extensions over the holidays: when immigration is closed

On public holidays immigration offices are closed, and the photo and interview for an extension only take place at the office. According to the 2026 holiday calendar and the 2027 calendar, the nearest such days are 24–27 December 2026 together with the weekend, 1–3 January 2027 together with the weekend, and 5 January. If your visa ends on these dates, apply in the first days when the application is already accepted: no earlier than 14 days before expiry for the visa on arrival, C1 and D12, and no earlier than 30 days for a KITAS.

How much a visa extension costs in Bali

We charge one price, and it already includes the government fee: you do not pay it separately. The official immigration tariffs are published on the page «Biaya Keimigrasian» (checked on 5 November 2026); if you extend yourself, the fee is paid after the application at a bank, a post office or Indomaret, as the Ngurah Rai office describes it.

How to pay. Prices are in rupiah. Once your request is confirmed, the manager will send you the payment details: you can pay by card in rupiah or to an account at an Indonesian bank. If you are not in Indonesia, the manager will suggest a convenient way.

Extending a visa on arrival for 30 days

Under the immigration rules the visa on arrival is extended once, no more than 60 days in the country in total. An electronic visa is extended online through the immigration portal, a paper one issued at the airport through an immigration office.

Through us the extension costs IDR 2 million and takes 2–3 weeks: we file the application, pay the fee and book the appointment, and you come to the immigration office for the photo and interview, as immigration has required for any extension since 29 May 2025. Send a photo of your passport, a selfie and your current visa, we do the rest.

After 60 days you need to leave. If you want to stay longer, there are two ways: come back on a C1 tourist visa arranged in advance, or switch to a KITAS without leaving Indonesia, applying no later than 5 working days before the visa ends.

Extending the C1 tourist visa

C1 gives 60 days from the date of entry. Under the immigration rules it is extended several times, up to 180 days in total. With us each 60-day extension costs IDR 2.6 million.

Message us 7–10 days before expiry. We file the application, pay the fee and book the appointment, and you come to the photo and interview.

Extending the D12 stamp for 180 days

With D12 it is the entry stamp that is extended, the visa itself stays the same: every entry gives 180 days, and when they run out the stamp can be extended for another 180 days for IDR 5.5 million. Message us 5 days before the stamp expires.

There is a second way: fly out for a day and come back, and at the border you get a new 180-day stamp. The visa itself is valid for one or two years, and trips abroad are unlimited.

Extending KITAS E33G

A KITAS is valid for a year, the extension for the next year costs IDR 16 million and takes about 3 weeks. You can start no earlier than 30 days before expiry. You do not need to leave: the application is filed online, and since 29 May 2025 immigration invites you for a photo and interview at any extension, KITAS included; we file the application, pay the fee and book the appointment, and you come to the photo and interview.

A family KITAS is linked to the main one: it is extended together with it and cannot be valid for longer.

What you need for an extension

• A photo of your passport's main page
• A selfie on a light background
• Your current visa: the e-visa or a photo of the stamp in your passport
• For a KITAS: a photo of the KITAS itself

The documents are the same as for the application. If your stay has already ended, message us right away: we will look at your case in the chat.

Common mistakes

• Trying to extend a visa on arrival a second time. It has one extension, after that you need another visa
• Counting from the date of issue. For VOA and C1 the days run from the date of entry
• Writing on the last day. A VOA extension takes 2–3 weeks and has to be filed before the visa ends; for C1 it is better to file 7–10 days before
• Waiting for the D12 stamp to run out instead of extending it. The stamp is extended or renewed by a one-day trip abroad
• Forgetting about the KITAS. A year goes by quickly, the extension takes about 3 weeks and cannot start earlier than 30 days before expiry
