The moment a visa or stay permit reaches its expiry date, you are overstaying. At that point you cannot apply for an extension; the permit that would have been extended no longer exists. Indonesia treats this as an administrative matter first, with a fixed daily charge of IDR 1,000,000 for each day beyond expiry — but the picture changes the longer it is left unresolved.
We deal with overstays every week, and we know the path through it. Whether you missed your flight, misread your stamp, or simply lost track of the date, our role is to take the panic out of the situation: work out exactly where you stand, calculate the penalty, speak to immigration on the right terms, and arrange a clean departure or, where the rules allow, a way to regularise your status. The earlier you reach out, the more straightforward that becomes.
A brief overstay — a handful of days — is usually settled by paying the IDR 1,000,000 daily penalty at the airport or immigration office before you leave. Once an overstay stretches beyond 60 days, it stops being a simple fine: it can be treated as a more serious immigration violation, opening the door to detention, deportation and a ban on returning to Indonesia. Knowing which side of that line you are on is the first thing we establish.
People often ask whether they can just extend their way out of an overstay. The answer is no — an extension only renews a permit that is still valid. Once expiry has passed there is nothing left to extend, so the route forward is different: settle the penalty, satisfy immigration, and exit lawfully or, in eligible cases, apply for a fresh permit. We identify which of these applies to you and manage it.

The current penalty is IDR 1,000,000 for every day you have overstayed. It is normally settled before you leave the country. We calculate your exact total in advance so you know precisely what to budget for.
Once an overstay passes 60 days it is no longer treated as a simple fine and can lead to detention, deportation and a re-entry ban — commonly six months to several years. This is exactly the kind of case where you should contact us immediately so we can manage it properly.
No. An extension only renews a permit that is still valid, and once your visa has expired there is nothing left to extend. The way forward is to settle the penalty and either exit lawfully or, if you qualify, apply for a new permit — we will confirm which path is right for you.
