Visa On Arrival (VOA) Extension – Who is it for and what are the benefits?
If you are entering Indonesia using the Visa on Arrival and plan to spend more than 30 days in the country, then you will need to obtain a Visa on Arrival Extension.
To summarise the Visa on Arrival allows foreigners to enter Indonesia without making a pre-organised visa, such as a Single Entry Visa. Upon entry to Indonesia, you pay US$35/IDR 500,000 and you are granted 30 days in the country. If you would like to extend your stay, you will need to process an extension, that provides an additional 30 days’ stay.
To process your extension, you can do it yourself or you can work with LetsMoveIndonesia who can simplify the process. If you do choose to process your extension yourself, here are the steps:
1. Visit your local immigration office and drop off your passport.
2. Return to immigration offices once they have processed the extension for a quick biometric session.
3. Return to the immigration office again to collect your passport
The process can take up to 14 days and is very time-consuming considering the 3 trips to immigration, navigating the office and queueing.
If you would prefer to spend more time doing things you love then LetsMoveIndonesia can simplify the process!
