Legal support for extending or renewing your visa or stay permit in Indonesia before it expires — avoiding overstay fines, deportation risk, and legal complications.
Any foreign national residing in Indonesia on a visa, visit permit, or stay permit must ensure their document remains valid throughout their stay. When your current permit is approaching its expiry date, you have two options:
The extension process involves submitting an application to the Indonesian Directorate General of Immigration (Ditjen Imigrasi) before the current permit expires. Late applications or expired permits result in significant penalties.
Our licensed lawyer provides full legal support for the extension and renewal process — ensuring your documents are correct, deadlines are met, and your residency status in Indonesia remains legally protected at all times.
IDR 1,000,000 (approx. USD 65) per day of overstay
Extended overstay can result in detention and forced departure
Serious overstay may result in a ban from re-entering Indonesia
Submit your extension application 30–60 days before expiry to avoid any risk
We support extension and renewal for all major visa and stay permit categories for foreign nationals in Indonesia.
The most common type. KITAS (Temporary Stay Permit) must be renewed annually. We manage the full renewal process — from document preparation to Immigration Office coordination and card issuance.
KITAP (Permanent Stay Permit) is valid for 5 years and must be renewed before expiry. We manage the renewal process including updated documentation and Immigration Office submission.
Social Visit Visa (B211A), Visa on Arrival (VOA), and Business Visit Visa holders can extend their stay in Indonesia for an additional 30 days through the immigration office.
KITAS holders who travel internationally require a Multiple Entry Re-entry Permit (MERP) to re-enter Indonesia without losing their KITAS status. We apply for and renew MERP as part of our KITAS management service.
If you are currently on a tourist, business, or social visa but wish to remain in Indonesia long-term, we advise on converting to the appropriate KITAS type — depending on your circumstances and eligibility.
Already close to expiry or have concerns about overstay? We provide emergency legal consultation to assess your options and take the fastest possible legal action to protect your residency status.
Overstaying your visa or stay permit in Indonesia is a serious legal violation. The consequences escalate rapidly with every day of overstay.
