Common mistakes before entering

Confusing visa validity with stay limit

Your visa validity is not always the same as your permitted stay duration.

Less than 6 months passport validity

This can cause problems at check-in or on arrival. Renew early.

Using VoA for the wrong activity

Work, long-term stay, study, and investment usually need a different visa.

Forgetting arrival documents

Arrival card, customs declaration, and Bali levy may all be required.

Not tracking your last day of stay

Overstay causes fines of Rp1,000,000 per day and immigration issues.

Never miss a deadline again

Track your expiry and get reminders with the Stay Tracker.
