How to extend the Bali digital nomad visa
Extension is a separate process from the original application, judged by a different office against different documents. Most of what goes wrong here is specific to that difference.
The procedure
| Where to file | Online through the Directorate General of Immigration's portal at evisa.imigrasi.go.id, filed from inside Indonesia while the current permit is still valid. The official E33G page states that extension of the stay permit can be done online through that portal. Agencies and law firms including Emerhub and Flado publish the opposite — that the permit does not extend and that staying longer means an EPO, an exit, and a fresh E33G from abroad. Both positions appear in 2026 material; the official page is the stronger source, but budget for a local office pushing you to exit and reapply. Biometrics and a local immigration office appointment are part of the process either way. |
|---|---|
| Fee | Rp3,000,000 |
| Timing | File no earlier than 30 days before the current permit expires. Processing runs about 14 working days from the point the application and payment are both in, so start collecting documents around 60 days out and file on day 30. A permit still in processing after its expiry date does not by itself make you an overstayer if you submitted and paid before that date. |
| How many times | Extension runs one year at a time. Visa Indonesia reports a total ITAS period of up to six years, read across from the general one-year ITAS rules; no cap specific to the E33G index is published on the immigration site. Treat the IDR 3,000,000 fee as unsettled: the official E33G page lists two one-year lines — Rp7.000.000 for a one-year stay and Rp3.000.000 for a limited stay permit of up to one year — without saying which applies to an extension, and only visa-indonesia.com, a non-official source, ties IDR 3,000,000 plus IDR 1,500,000 for the re-entry permit to extension specifically. Budget for the possibility that the higher line applies. |
What to bring
- Valid passport — the same one the permit was issued against
- Current ITAS / electronic KITAS
- Current employment contract with the overseas company, in force for the period you are extending into
- Proof of income of at least US$60,000 per year
- Personal bank statement, three months, minimum USD 2,000
- Recent colour photograph
- Curriculum vitae
- Travel itinerary
- Indonesian residential address
- Integration statement
- Anything further the portal requests for your specific file
What goes wrong at extension time
- Your passport was renewed or replaced during the permit year. The ITAS is tied to the passport it was issued against; a new passport number without the permit transferred to it stalls the extension, and is a different problem from a first application.
- The employment contract expired or rolled over. A first application is judged on a contract current at filing; at extension, a contract that ended eight months ago fails even though the job did not. Get a current dated contract or an extension addendum before filing.
- Payment timing, not just submission timing. Protection against being treated as an overstayer depends on the immigration fee being paid before your expiry date, not on having started the application.
- Income figures that no longer reconcile. A raise, a currency swing or a change of paying entity mid-year makes the extension file's numbers disagree with the original; the mismatch is what gets queried, not the direction of the change.
- Indonesian-source income earned during the permit year. The first application only had to show clean foreign income; the extension is filed after twelve months in which local paid work may have appeared in the account.
