Visa Extension in Bali – Step-by-Step Process for Nepali Tourists (2025 Update)

For Nepali tourists enjoying Bali’s beautiful beaches, culture, and lifestyle, it’s common to want to stay longer than the original visa period allows. The good news is that Indonesia’s immigration system allows visitors, including Nepali citizens, to legally extend their stay through a structured visa extension process. Whether you hold a Visa on Arrival (VOA) or a C1 Tourist eVisa, you can extend your stay by following proper immigration procedures at the Bali Immigration Office.

The first step is to determine your visa type. If you entered Bali under a Visa on Arrival (VOA) or Electronic VOA (eVOA), you can extend it once for an additional 30 days, making your total stay 60 days. However, if you entered with a C1 Tourist Visa (60-day stay), you can extend it up to two times, with each extension granting an extra 60 days, allowing a maximum total stay of 180 days (6 months) in Indonesia. These extensions are not automatic — you must apply before your current visa expires to avoid overstaying penalties.

To start the extension, visit the official Indonesian Immigration Portal at https://evisa.imigrasi.go.id and go to the “Extend Visa / Stay Permit” section. Enter your passport number, visa registration number, and upload the necessary documents — including your passport bio page, entry stamp page, visa approval letter (if applicable), return or onward flight ticket, proof of accommodation, and bank statement showing sufficient funds. Once the online registration is complete, you must appear in person at one of Bali’s local immigration offices (such as Denpasar, Jimbaran/Ngurah Rai, or Singaraja) for biometric verification (photo and fingerprints).

During your in-person visit, carry your original passport, printed copy of your online application, and a few passport-sized photos. The immigration officer will verify your details and accept your documents. You will then pay the extension fee, which typically ranges from IDR 500,000 for a VOA extension (30 days) to around IDR 1,000,000 for C1 tourist visa extensions (depending on the period). Once payment is made, the office will hold your passport for 5–7 working days while processing your extension.

After processing, you’ll receive a notification to collect your passport with the new visa extension stamp. It’s crucial to check your new expiry date to avoid overstaying, as Indonesia imposes a fine of IDR 1,000,000 (approx. NPR 8,600)per day for overstays. Always apply at least one week before your visa expires, since late submissions can be rejected.

As of May 2025, Indonesia’s immigration policy requires personal presence for biometric verification, meaning that extensions cannot be completed fully online. This applies to both VOA and eVisa holders. However, using a licensed visa agent can make the process easier if you’re busy or unfamiliar with Indonesian bureaucracy.
