Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months at the time of the extension. If your passport has less than 6 months remaining, Immigration will not process your extension. For some visa types (especially longer-term visas), a longer validity period may be required. Please check the “Requirements” section of the specific visa you are applying for. Tip: If your passport is close to expiring, renew it before starting your trip to avoid delays or rejection.
Rejections are very rare. In our experience, we have not had a single case where a visa application was rejected, as long as all requirements were met and the applicant provided accurate information. When can a visa be rejected? A rejection usually only occurs in exceptional cases, such as: - The applicant is listed on the Indonesian immigration blacklist - Previous violations of Indonesian immigration or criminal law - An outstanding international arrest warrant - Providing false information or forged documents For standard applicants who meet the official visa requirements, the visa is normally approved without issues.
Yes. For the visa extension, your passport does not stay at Immigration. The extension is processed online, and you only need to bring your passport to the appointment for photo and fingerprints. Once the appointment is finished, you take your passport back with you immediately. You will not be asked to leave your passport at Immigration.
No, pick-up is not included. You need to organize your own transport (scooter, car, taxi, ride-hailing service) to the immigration office for your photo and fingerprints appointment. We will inform you about the exact date and time of your appointment as soon as it is scheduled by immigration. Please make sure you can be available on that day and plan enough time for the visit.
That's not a problem for your visa itself — your visa remains valid based on its own 90-day entry window, as long as you still enter within that window.
Yes, you need both — they serve completely different purposes. Your visa (like the Visa on Arrival or C1) is your legal permission to enter and stay in Indonesia. The All Indonesia Arrival Card is a separate, digital form covering customs and health declarations that every traveler must complete, regardless of visa type, within 72 hours before arrival. Having a valid visa doesn't exempt you from the Arrival Card, and filling out the Arrival Card doesn't replace the need for a visa.

These include: - Hepatitis A - Tetanus (standard booster) - Polio booster - Typhoid (recommended for longer trips or rural areas) - Hepatitis B - Rabies (if spending time in rural areas or around animals) - Japanese Encephalitis (for extended stays in rural regions or rice-field areas)
Here are the current entry requirements for entering Indonesia (including Bali): 1. Passport (very important) To enter Indonesia, you need a passport. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months on the day of entry or on the day of visa extension. Different rules may apply to other travel documents. Without sufficient passport validity, entry will be denied. 2. Visa A visa is required to enter Indonesia. Always make sure to get the correct visa for your purposes of visit! For short trips, you can buy the Visa on Arrival directly at the airport. However, we recommend applying for the e-Visa on Arrival (eVOA) in advance to save time and avoid long queues. If you stay more than 30 days, there are even better visa options like the C1 visa. For specific visit purposes, it's best to check our visa finder or contact us. 3. Outbound (onward) ticket When checking in for your flight to Indonesia, you may be asked to show proof of a return or onward ticket. If you cannot present one, you may be denied boarding or entry. 4. All Indonesia Arrival Card Since September 1, 2025, Indonesia has introduced the All Indonesia Arrival Card — a digital form that replaces previous customs and health declarations. You can add the Arrival Card through us, or you can complete it yourself, no earlier than 72 hours before arrival. 5. Love Bali Tourist Tax (Bali only) Visitors to Bali must pay the Love Bali Tourism Tax of 150,000 IDR (approx. 10 USD / 9 EUR). Payment options: - Pay online in advance (credit cards sometimes fail), or - Pay directly at the airport upon arrival You can also find the entry requirements here: Entry Requirements Indonesia
Indonesia distinguishes between prohibited items (not allowed at all) and restricted items (allowed only under specific conditions, limits, or with a declaration). 🚫 Prohibited items (not allowed under any circumstances) You may not bring the following items into Indonesia: - Narcotics and illegal drugs - Firearms and air guns - Sharp weapons (unless declared for specific purposes) - Ammunition - Explosives or explosive materials - Pornographic materials Bringing prohibited items can lead to confiscation, fines, detention, or criminal charges. ⚠️ Restricted items (allowed with declaration, limits, or permits) These items may be brought into Indonesia, but only under certain rules: 1. Animals, fish, plants & biological products Require permits from Indonesian authorities (e.g., quarantine, health certificates). 2. Cash amounts over IDR 100,000,000 Must be declared to Customs. 3. Exciseable goods (alcohol & tobacco) Allowed only within duty-free limits. Above limits → declaration + import duty. 4. Personal goods beyond exemption limits Items exceeding the duty-free allowance must be declared and taxed. 5. Commercial goods Require customs clearance and often import permits. 6. Re-imported or temporarily imported goods May require a declaration, proof of ownership, or temporary import documentation. If you are unsure whether your item is restricted, it is always safer to declare it.
If you do not complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card (customs declaration), you may face: - Delays at Immigration and Customs - Fines (in cases of undeclared restricted items) - Confiscation of items that should have been declared Accurate completion of the Arrival Card is essential for a smooth entry into Indonesia. If you haven’t filled out the Arrival Card before your trip, you can still complete it upon arrival at the airport in Indonesia. However, queues can be long, so we strongly recommend filling it out before your departure.
