Currently travelling through Indonesia and absolutely loving it, really don’t want to leave when my visa runs out, wondering if extension is even possible from inside the country or if I have to exit and reapply.
Yes, extending from within Indonesia is possible in certain cases! If you entered on a Visa on Arrival (VoA), you can extend it once for an additional 30 days without leaving. You do this through the local immigration office (Kantor Imigrasi) before your current visa expires.
If you entered on an e-visa or a different visa type, extension options vary so it’s worth checking with your nearest immigration office directly. The extension process involves visiting the office, filling in forms, and paying the extension fee. I’d go at least a week before your visa expires to avoid any stress.
Indonesia is absolutely worth staying longer for, hope you get to extend! More info through the official Directorate General of Immigration: https://www.imigrasi.go.id
