Buying, Pricing & Payment
How much does a standard VOA extension cost?
The official government fee is IDR 500,000. Our service fee is USD 65 (about IDR 1,000,000), covering document preparation, lodgement and monitoring — no hidden add-ons.
Do you charge extra for express processing?
Yes. Express handling carries a higher service fee than the standard 7–10 business day track; ask us for the current express price for your dates.
What payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer and major payment gateways. We issue a proforma invoice before you pay anything.
Are the visa prices on your site final?
They are all-in agency service estimates, not official government fees. Final cost depends on your nationality, the visa duration and whether a sponsor is required.
Is there a discount for couples or families booking together?
Yes — message us with your group size and we quote a combined rate for shared document handling.
Do I pay before or after my visa is approved?
A deposit secures our concierge slot and government fee payment; the balance is due once your documents are lodged.
How do I know this isn't a scam?
We are a licensed operation under Juara Holding Group, in business since 2014, with a physical office in Kuta and 12,000+ applications on record. We never ask for full payment before confirming your eligibility.
Can I get an invoice for my company to reimburse this cost?
Yes, we issue a formal invoice with our company details for expense claims or corporate reimbursement.
Eligibility & Documents
What documents do I need for a VOA extension?
Your original passport with at least 6 months' validity and two blank pages, plus a printout of your onward flight ticket out of Indonesia.
Do I need proof of funds?
For a standard VOA extension, no. For KITAS and investor pathways, yes — a bank statement or income proof is required.
Do I need an Indonesian sponsor?
A standard VOA extension does not require one. E28A investor KITAS, E33G digital nomad KITAS and similar pathways do — we can act as or arrange your corporate sponsor.
My passport has less than 6 months validity — can you still help?
You'll need to renew your passport first; Indonesian immigration will not process an extension on a passport with under 6 months' validity.
What if I don't have a return flight booked yet?
We can advise on acceptable alternatives, including a refundable onward ticket, but a confirmed departure record is generally required.
Can children be included on a family application?
Yes, each traveller needs their own passport and document set, but we handle the whole family's paperwork as one case.
I already overstayed a few days — can you still help?
Yes, but overstay fines (IDR 1,000,000/day) apply and must be settled before any new visa or extension is processed. Message us immediately.
Does my nationality affect eligibility?
VOA eligibility depends on your passport's nationality; not every passport qualifies for Visa on Arrival. Tell us your nationality and we confirm the right pathway.
Can I apply for a KITAS directly, skipping the VOA?
Yes, if you already have a qualifying sponsor or investment. Ask us which entry route is fastest for your situation.
Process, Logistics & Timelines
How long does a standard VOA extension take?
Typically 7–10 business days from your biometric appointment to a stamped passport.
Do I have to visit an immigration office myself?
Yes, once — for a mandatory biometric appointment (fingerprints and photo). We handle every other step, including collecting your passport afterward.
Can the whole process really be done without any office visit?
No. Treat any offer claiming a fully remote extension with no biometric appointment as a scam — Indonesian immigration requires it by law.
When exactly should I start the process?
Ideally 14 days before your current visa expires. The latest we can accept a new case is 7 business days before expiry.
What happens after I submit my documents?
We lodge your application at the immigration office, pay the government fee on your behalf, and schedule your biometric appointment.
How will I know my application status?
Your concierge monitors your case daily and updates you by WhatsApp at every stage, from lodgement to passport collection.
Can I travel domestically while my extension is processing?
Generally yes, but avoid international travel until your extension is stamped. Ask us before booking any flights.
Who collects my passport once it's ready?
We do — our team collects it on your behalf and arranges delivery or pickup, so you don't need to return to the office.
What if my application is rejected?
This is rare when documents are prepared correctly. If it happens, we identify the cause immediately and advise your next legal option.
Compliance, Overstay & Legality
What's the overstay penalty in Indonesia?
IDR 1,000,000 per day of overstay, strictly enforced.
Can a VOA (subclass B213) be extended more than once?
No — it can be extended only once, for 30 additional days, for a maximum stay of 60 days total.
What happens if I overstay by more than 60 days?
Beyond the fine, significant overstays can lead to detention and deportation with an entry ban. Contact us as early as possible if you're at risk.
Is working on a VOA or tourist extension legal?
No. Any paid work in Indonesia requires a work-authorised KITAS. We can advise on the correct visa if you plan to work or invest.
Do I need travel insurance for the application?
It isn't mandatory for a VOA extension but is required for several KITAS categories and is good practice regardless.
Is my personal data kept confidential?
Yes. As a Juara Holding Group subsidiary, your passport and financial documents are handled to the same confidentiality standard as our premium concierge businesses.
What if immigration rules change mid-application?
We track regulation changes continuously and will tell you immediately if anything affects your case, adjusting the plan where needed.
Can you guarantee approval?
No agent can guarantee a government decision. What we guarantee is correctly prepared documents, a licensed process, and full transparency at every step.
Do you keep copies of my documents after approval?
We retain records only as long as required for your case and any renewal, handled under strict confidentiality.
Visa Types & Comparisons
What's the difference between VOA extension and e-VOA?
A standard VOA extension is lodged in person at an immigration office; an e-VOA extension is lodged online through our sponsor partner's portal, though a biometric appointment is still required for both.
What is a B211A visa and how does it differ from VOA?
B211A is a single-entry visa offering up to 60 days initially, extendable, often used by those needing longer flexibility than the standard 30+30 day VOA structure.
Which visa suits a digital nomad working remotely for a foreign company?
The E33G Digital Nomad KITAS (1 year, renewable) or the C5A Creator/Remote Worker visa (up to 180 days), depending on how long you plan to stay.
What visa do investors and company owners need?
The E28A Investor KITAS, typically valid 1–2 years, tied to your PT PMA company.
I'm retiring in Bali — what's my best option?
The E33 Second Home Visa (5–10 years) suits retirees and long-stay residents with qualifying Indonesian bank deposits.
What is the Golden Visa (E28B)?
A premium, long-duration visa (5–10 years) aimed at high-net-worth and strategic investors, priced from USD 3,000 in service fees.
Can families apply together under one visa type?
Each family member needs their own visa or KITAS, but dependents can often be sponsored under a primary applicant's investor or work KITAS.
Is DIY cheaper than using an agent?
The government fee is the same either way. DIY costs more in time (10–15 hours, a minimum of 3 immigration visits) and carries a higher risk of document errors that can delay or derail your application.
How do I decide between a VOA extension and switching to a KITAS?
If you plan to stay under 60 days total, a VOA extension is simplest. If you plan to stay months or years, work, invest or retire in Indonesia, a KITAS pathway is more appropriate — message us your plan and we recommend the right one.
