Bali Visa Overstay Fine: How Much It Costs and What to Do
The Bali visa overstay fine is IDR 1,000,000 for every day you stay past your permit, and you pay it before you can leave Indonesia. It adds up quickly, and a long overstay can mean deportation and an entry ban.
This guide explains how the fine works, how to pay it, what to do if you have already overstayed and how to avoid it in the first place. If you are still choosing a permit, see our Indonesia visa assistance page.
The short answer: how much is the fine?
The fine is IDR 1,000,000 per day, which is roughly USD 60 to 65 at recent exchange rates. It applies from the first day after your permit expires, and it is counted per day, not per hour. Treat there as no grace period.
Hey Rick Visa is a private visa assistance service and is not a government body. This fine is a government charge, and a private service cannot waive or reduce it.
How the fine adds up
| Days overstayed | Fine |
| 1 day | IDR 1,000,000 |
| 3 days | IDR 3,000,000 |
| 7 days | IDR 7,000,000 |
| 14 days | IDR 14,000,000 |
| 30 days | IDR 30,000,000 |
| 60 days | IDR 60,000,000 |
| More than 60 days | No simple fine option: deportation and an entry ban apply |
Some older web pages still show IDR 300,000 per day. That figure is outdated.
What happens if you overstay more than 60 days?
An overstay of up to 60 days is handled as an administrative charge. Beyond 60 days, the matter becomes far more serious. You can face deportation and an entry ban, and the fine option no longer applies in the same way.
If you cannot pay the full amount, immigration can detain you until it is settled or a deportation is arranged. An entry ban can also affect future Indonesian visa applications. If you are in this position, speak to an immigration office or a qualified adviser straight away.
How do you pay an overstay fine in Bali?
The fine is paid to immigration before you leave the country. Payment options reported by immigration offices include paying at an immigration office, at the airport counter if you are departing, or online with a billing code issued by immigration.
The usual steps are:
- Go to immigration. Visit the nearest immigration office, or the airport immigration counter if you are leaving.
- Get your billing code. An officer calculates the exact number of days and issues the amount to pay.
- Pay through an official channel. Ask which payment methods are accepted, and keep cash or a card ready.
- Keep your receipt. You will need it when you depart.
Do not pay through intermediaries who are not authorised. Leave extra time on your travel day, as the process can be slow.
What to do if you have already overstayed
Stay calm, and do not hide or delay. The cost only grows each day.
- Count the days exactly. Use the expiry date on your visa or e-visa document, not a number you remember.
- Go to immigration promptly. Settle the fine before your flight, or at the airport counter before you depart.
- Check your overstay length. If it is more than 60 days, or you cannot pay, get advice immediately.
- Plan your next trip carefully. An overstay may be noted when you apply for visas in future.
How to avoid an overstay in Bali
Extending on time costs far less than a single day of overstay. A B1 extension has a government fee of IDR 500,000. One day of overstay costs IDR 1,000,000, double that.
The B1 visa on arrival gives 30 days and can be extended once for another 30, so 60 days at most. The C1 tourist visa gives 60 days and can be extended twice, by 60 days each time, for up to 180 days. Both need an online application and an in-person visit to an immigration office. Approval is decided by the authorities and is not guaranteed.
For the full process, read our guide on how to extend visa in Bali, or our focused guide to extend B1 visa in Bali. Aim to file about two weeks before expiry, and no later than one week before.
What if you cannot leave on time?
Sometimes a delay is outside your control, such as a cancelled flight. In some cases, immigration can issue an emergency stay permit for people who cannot leave through no fault of their own. Go to an immigration office before your current permit expires, not after, and bring proof such as the airline’s cancellation notice. Do not assume you will be exempt from the fine. Immigration decides case by case.
Common mistakes that lead to an overstay
- Counting days from landing. Use the expiry date on your permit.
- Filing an extension at the last minute. Your appointment can land after your expiry date.
- Expecting a second B1 extension. A B1 extends once, so plan your exit before day 60.
- Assuming ASEAN visa-free entry can be extended. It cannot, so it ends at 30 days.
- Ignoring public holidays. Offices close, and timelines stretch.
- Forgetting that approval is not guaranteed. Leave a buffer in case your extension is delayed or declined.
Apply yourself or get help?
Extending a B1 yourself is realistic if you are organised and start early. The steps are clear and the fee is fixed.
Help makes sense when time is short, you are unsure which permit you hold, or you want your details checked before filing. Whatever you choose, never pay for a promise of guaranteed approval. Only the authorities decide, and extensions must be filed before your stay expires.
