Travel days in Bali, counted properly.

Most visitors arrive on the visa on arrival, the e-VOA. It runs 30 days and can be extended once. Miscount your travel days in Bali and you pay per day on the way out.

In brief

Thirty days from entry, extendable once by another 30. Sixty days is the ceiling on this visa.

Travel days in Bali: 30 days, one extension

The e-VOA is a single-entry permit for 30 days. Indonesian immigration allows exactly one extension of 30 days, and that is the end of it. Staying longer means a different visa, not a second run at the e-VOA.

Extending is online, inside a window

The application goes through evisa.imigrasi.go.id and costs 500,000 rupiah. You can file from 14 days before expiry until the day before it. Miss that date and the form no longer helps you; then it is an office visit and it gets expensive.

The day you land counts

Land on the 1st and your last day is the 30th, not the 31st. That single shift costs people money regularly, because the flight is already booked. Enter the date from your e-VOA rather than doing the sum in your head.

Travel days in Bali across several entries

A hop to Singapore or Kuala Lumpur means a fresh e-VOA, and your travel days in Bali start again at 30. That is allowed, but repeated often it gets noticed. Officers see every stamp and may refuse entry.

Overstay is billed per day

Every day beyond your permit carries a fee, payable at the airport before you fly. A few days stays a fee. Weeks can mean a ban and removal. It is common, and it usually happens to people who missed the extension window.

Check before travelling

  • Is your passport eligible for an e-VOA?
  • When did you actually enter?
  • What permitted period appears on your entry record?
  • Has an extension already been approved?
