EVOA Bali Validity and Extension Guide 2026
Understanding your EVOA Bali validity dates is crucial to staying legally in Indonesia. This guide covers the 90-day entry validity, 30-day stay limit, how to extend your visa, overstay consequences, and what happens when you leave and want to return.
Two Types of EVOA Validity
The EVOA Bali has two distinct validity periods that you must understand:
1. Entry Validity (90 Days from Approval)
Once your EVOA is approved, you have 90 days to actually enter Indonesia. If you miss this window (e.g., you postpone your trip), you must apply for a new EVOA.
Example: EVOA approved April 1 → You must enter Indonesia by June 30.
2. Stay Validity (30 Days from Entry)
Once you enter Indonesia, your permitted stay is 30 days from your entry date. This is stamped in your passport at immigration. You must either leave Indonesia or extend your visa before this date.
Example: Enter Bali on May 1 → Must leave or extend by May 31.
How to Extend Your EVOA Bali
You can extend the EVOA once for an additional 30 days (total 60 days). Since May 2025, the extension process requires:
- Start the extension application online at molina.imigrasi.go.id at least 7 days before expiry
- Upload required documents (passport, current EVOA, accommodation proof)
- Pay the extension fee: IDR 500,000 (~$30 USD)
- Attend an in-person biometric appointment at the local immigration office (Kantor Imigrasi)
- Collect your extended stay permit
EVOA Extension – Important Rules
- Can only be extended once for 30 days
- Total stay limit with extension: 60 days
- Must apply before your current visa expires – not after
- Extension does not convert the single-entry to multi-entry
- In-person biometric visit to immigration office is now required
What Happens After 60 Days (EVOA + 1 Extension)?
If you want to stay longer than 60 days in Indonesia, you must either:
- Leave Indonesia and apply fresh (new EVOA or Visa on Arrival on re-entry)
- Apply for a different, longer-stay visa (C1 Tourist Visa, B2 Retiree Visa, etc.) ideally before your current visa expires
- Use a visa agent or immigration lawyer for complex long-stay situations
Overstay Consequences
Do not overstay your EVOA. Indonesian immigration enforcement takes overstays seriously:
| Overstay Duration | Consequence |
|---|---|
| 1-60 days | Fine: IDR 1,000,000/day (~$60 USD/day) |
| 60+ days | Detention, deportation, and potential entry ban |
| Serious/repeat offenses | Multi-year or permanent entry ban to Indonesia |
Set a phone reminder for your visa expiry date. Check your passport stamp upon entry to confirm your exact departure deadline.
Leaving and Returning to Indonesia on EVOA
The EVOA is a single-entry visa. If you leave Indonesia for any reason (a side trip to Singapore, Malaysia, Lombok via foreign connection, etc.), your EVOA is used. To re-enter Indonesia, you will need either:
- A new EVOA (apply online before your return trip)
- Visa on Arrival at the Indonesian entry point

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is EVOA Bali valid for?
The EVOA Bali has two validity periods: (1) 90 days from approval to use for entry, and (2) 30 days stay from your entry date. You must enter Indonesia within 90 days of EVOA approval, and your stay must not exceed 30 days from arrival.
Can I extend my EVOA Bali stay?
Yes. The EVOA can be extended once for an additional 30 days. Since 2025, extensions require completing an online application at molina.imigrasi.go.id and attending an in-person biometric appointment at a local Indonesian immigration office.
What happens if I overstay my EVOA?
Overstaying the 30-day permitted period results in a fine of IDR 1,000,000 (~$60 USD) per day. Prolonged overstays can lead to detention, deportation, and a ban on future entry to Indonesia. Always extend before your visa expires.
Can I leave and re-enter Indonesia on the same EVOA?
No. The EVOA is a single-entry visa. If you leave Indonesia – even for a day trip to Singapore or another country – you cannot re-enter on the same EVOA. You must apply for a new EVOA or pay Visa on Arrival upon return.
How much does the EVOA extension cost?
The EVOA extension costs IDR 500,000 (~$30 USD) – the same as the original visa fee. Since 2025, an in-person biometric visit to immigration is also required, which may involve additional administrative costs.
