When visiting Indonesia, it’s easy to get lost in the beauty of the islands, the warm hospitality, and the endless adventures. But there’s one detail you should never overlook: your visa’s validity. Many travelers assume that overstaying by just one day isn’t a big deal — but in Indonesia, immigration takes this very seriously.
one extra day beyond your visa’s expiration results in a fine of IDR 1,000,000 per day (around USD 65). This penalty must be paid before you’re allowed to leave the country. For example, a three-day overstay means a fine of IDR 3,000,000
While the amount may sound manageable, the inconvenience can be stressful — especially if you only realize it at the airport.
But it doesn’t stop there. Longer overstays quickly become more serious. If you remain in Indonesia more than 60 days beyond your visa, you face not only higher penalties but also deportation and possible blacklisting, meaning you could be banned from re-entering Indonesia in the future.
The truth is, overstaying is never worth the risk. A simple reminder on your phone, checking your passport stamps, or arranging an extension before your visa runs out can save you from unnecessary stress, unexpected expenses, and trouble with immigration.
So, whether you’re here for a short holiday or a long stay, keep your visa dates in check. Enjoy the wonders of Bali, Java, or beyond — but do it the right way. Because in Indonesia, even a single day can make all the difference.
