Indonesia continues to attract travellers from around the world with its rice fields, volcanic peaks, temple-rich towns, and warm hospitality. If you arrived using the Indonesia eVisa on Arrival (e-VoA) and want to extend your stay, here’s some helpful news — it is possible.
This guide explains who can apply for an extension, how the process works, what documents are needed, and what to do if you overstay.
Yes. You can extend your e-VoA once for an additional 30 days. This means your total stay in Indonesia can go up to 60 days.
