Quick Answer

Indonesia overstay fine is IDR 1,000,000 per day (approximately USD 60–65), capped at 60 days. Beyond 60 days, detention and deportation apply.

What To Do If You Are Overstaying

1

Do Not Ignore It

The longer you overstay, the worse the consequences. Take immediate action.

2

Contact Visa Nest Immediately

Explain your situation — how long you have overstayed, your nationality, and your visa type. We advise the best course of action.

3

Prepare to Pay the Fine

Calculate the overstay fine (IDR 1,000,000 × number of days). Have this amount available in Indonesian Rupiah.

4

Visit Immigration or Depart

Depending on your overstay duration, you may resolve at the local immigration office or pay the fine at the airport on departure.

5

Exit Indonesia

After paying the fine and resolving with immigration, exit Indonesia. Do not return without ensuring your immigration record is clear.

How to Avoid Overstaying in Indonesia

Check your visa expiry date immediately upon receiving your stamp/visa.

Set two calendar reminders: one at 14 days before expiry and one at 7 days before expiry.

Start the extension process at least 7 days before expiry — not on the last day.

Know your visa's maximum extensibility: eVOA can only be extended once.

If your visa cannot be extended, plan your departure before expiry or apply for a new visa type.

Keep a copy of your passport bio page and current visa in a secure digital location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Indonesia's overstay fine (denda overstay) is IDR 1,000,000 (approximately USD 60–65) per day of overstay. This is capped at 60 days of fines (IDR 60,000,000 maximum). Beyond 60 days of overstay, the penalties escalate to detention and deportation regardless of payment capacity.

Overstaying your Indonesia visa results in: daily fines (IDR 1,000,000/day), detention at an immigration detention centre (Rudenim) for longer overstays, deportation from Indonesia, and potential blacklisting (entry ban) for future visits. The Indonesian immigration authority takes overstay seriously and enforces these penalties.

Yes. Overstaying in Indonesia can result in a blacklist (cekal) that prevents future entry to Indonesia. The blacklist period varies by the severity of the overstay. Significant overstays or repeated violations typically result in longer blacklist periods. Resolving a blacklist requires formal application to the immigration directorate.

Overstay fines in Indonesia are paid at the immigration office or immigration detention centre, or at the airport immigration counter when departing. You must pay in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). The fine is calculated from the day after your visa expired to the day of departure/payment.

For minor overstays (short period), you may be able to pay the fine and process a departure without immediate detention. However, for longer overstays, immigration detention and deportation are possible. Do not delay — contact Visa Nest immediately if you are overstaying. Early action gives more options.

To avoid overstaying: always check your visa expiry date on arrival, extend your visa before it expires (not on the expiry day itself), set calendar reminders at 7 and 14 days before expiry, and contact Visa Nest for extension assistance. If your visa type cannot be extended, exit before expiry and re-enter with the appropriate visa.
