This is primarily done using what is known as an EPO (Exit Permit Only); however, this is only applicable when you are onshore. The EPO must be done prior to departure of Indonesia. Check out our article here to find out more about the EPO process: EPO – Everything you need to know.
If your visa has already expired and you are no longer in the country, you are now unable to process an EPO, therefore you are required to apply for an Exit Only Permit.
