Indonesia Single Entry Visa Extensions – Who is it for and what are the benefits
If you hold a valid Single Entry Visa, either for tourism or business purposes, and plan to stay in Indonesia beyond the initial permitted period, you will need to extend your single entry visa before the visa expiry date.
The extension process applies to foreigners who wish to:
- Continue their travel in Indonesia
- Stay longer than your visa allows
- Extend social or business visits
- Avoid overstaying penalties and immigration complications
Under current immigration regulations, the Single Entry Visa provides 60 days of validity upon entry into Indonesia. The visa can then be extended 2 additional times, with each extension granting another 60 days.
Steps to Get your Single Entry Visa Extension
| Stage | Length of Time |
|---|---|
| Initial Visa | 60 days |
| First Extension | Additional 60 days |
| Second Extension | Additional 60 days |
This means the maximum permitted stay under this visa category may reach a total of 180 days.
It is important to apply for your extension before the visa expiry date. If you remain in Indonesia after your authorised stay period, immigration or customs will charge every day you stay longer with overstay penalties under Indonesian immigration law.
For this reason, many travellers choose professional assistance to ensure their visa extension process is handled properly and submitted on time.

Common Questions
Where Do I Go for the Biometric Session?
This depends on where you are staying in Indonesia, as each immigration office has its own regional jurisdiction and coverage area.
Our team will advise you which office applies to your location and coordinate the appointment schedule accordingly.
How Long Before the Process Should I Provide My Passport to Lets Move Indonesia?
We generally recommend beginning the extension process approximately 2 weeks before the visa expiry date.
Indonesia experiences frequent public holidays and seasonal immigration backlogs, particularly in Bali, which may affect processing times. Starting earlier helps reduce the potential risk of delays.
What Happens While My Passport is Submitted to Immigration?
During the extension process, your passport will temporarily remain with immigration authorities.
To assist clients during this period, Lets Move Indonesia can provide you with a sponsorship letter stating that your passport is with immigration upon request. This document may help if identification or travel verification is required while the process will continue at the immigration office.
Can I Still Travel Domestically During the Process?
In many cases, domestic travel within Indonesia may still be possible while your passport is being processed, provided you carry supporting identification and immigration documentation.
However, international trips outside the country are generally not recommended while the visa extension remains in process.
How Long Does the Extension Process Take?
Processing times vary depending on immigration workload and local office conditions.
Service Type Estimated Processing Time
Regular Process Approximately 5-7 working days
Express Process Approximately 2-3 days
Availability of express process services may depend on immigration approval and regional office capacity.
I Applied Before, and the Visa Extensions Were Only 30 Days?
Yes. Prior to 2022, most Single Entry Visa extensions were granted in 30-day increments. Indonesian immigration authorities later updated the system to provide 60-day extensions in order to reduce repeated visits to immigration offices.
At the same time, government immigration fees were adjusted accordingly.
Can Lets Move Indonesia Help with Sponsorship?
Yes. As a legal visa and business consultancy company operating since 2016, Lets Move Indonesia offers assistance to eligible applicants with sponsorship arrangements for applicable visa categories and extension processes.
This support helps simplify the extension procedure for foreigners already visiting Indonesia who wish to extend their stay legally and compliantly.
