Overstaying your visa or stay permit in Indonesia costs 1,000,000 IDR per day, from the very first day over: about 50 EUR according to France Diplomatie, the French foreign ministry's travel advisory, or 60 to 70 USD according to the specialist English-language sites, each at its own day's exchange rate. That rate holds for as long as the overstay stays under the 60-day mark ("up to 59 days" in Indonesian Immigration's wording, "during the first 60 days" in the French ministry's), which puts the theoretical ceiling at around 60 million IDR. The fine is paid in full, with no haggling, at the airport immigration counter as you leave or at an immigration office (in Bali: Ngurah Rai, Denpasar, Singaraja), most often in cash and in rupiah. Nobody leaves the country without settling it: France Diplomatie states that "this measure admits no exception". Paying does not extend your visa by a single day. From 60 days, the fine is no longer an option: an immigration detention room (30 days at most, then possibly a detention centre), deportation at your expense (or your sponsor's) and a ban on entering Indonesia, capped by law at 10 years, extendable, but which for a plain overstay most often runs from 6 months to 2 years depending on the source.
How much does one day of overstay cost in Indonesia?
The figure is the same in every official source we consulted. The Surakarta immigration office, which reports to the Directorate General of Immigration, put it in a single sentence on 22 September 2025: "the fine is Rp 1,000,000 per day, counted from the first day of overstay". The FAQ on Indonesia's e-visa portal mentions "fines of IDR 1,000,000 per day", but also detention, deportation or a ban on travelling to Indonesia for a set period. France Diplomatie converts it into euros in its entry-and-stay advisory, updated 4 September 2026: "one million rupiah (about 50 euros) per day during the first 60 days". For Bali specifically, the head of the regional office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kanwil Kemenkumham Bali), Romi Yudianto, reiterated on 5 January 2024 that the million-a-day fine applies when the stay permit has expired and the foreigner has remained in the country for less than 60 days.

None of the sources consulted mentions a grace day, a sliding rate or any different treatment by visa type or nationality: the Indonesian texts speak of WNA (warga negara asing, foreign nationals) and draw no further distinction.
Until May 2019, a day of overstay cost 300,000 IDR; the PP 28/2019 tariff regulation more than tripled it in one go, and any guide still quoting 300,000 IDR is seven years out of date.
| Days of overstay | Fine | Rough equivalent in euros* |
|---|---|---|
| 1 day | 1,000,000 IDR | ≈ 50 EUR |
| 3 days | 3,000,000 IDR | ≈ 150 EUR |
| 7 days | 7,000,000 IDR | ≈ 350 EUR |
| 14 days | 14,000,000 IDR | ≈ 700 EUR |
| 30 days | 30,000,000 IDR | ≈ 1,500 EUR |
| 59 days | 59,000,000 IDR | ≈ 2,950 EUR |
| 60 days and over | No more fine: detention, deportation, entry ban | Deportation costs at your expense |
*Indicative calculation based on France Diplomatie's "about 50 euros"; the English-language sites give 60 to 70 USD per day at other exchange dates.
Miss your flight on the last day of your visa and fly out three days later, and you owe 3 million IDR in fines on top of the new ticket. To set that sum against a monthly budget, our guide to the cost of living in Bali gives the benchmarks.
Which legal text is the fine based on?
The amount comes from a tariff regulation, not from the immigration law itself. The framework law is UU No. 6/2011, most recently amended by UU No. 63/2024, its third amendment. The tariff, for its part, sat in PP 28/2019, the regulation that set the types and rates of non-tax state revenue (PNBP) for the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, the text still cited by the Expat Web Site Association of Jakarta and by Immigration's explanatory article of April 2023.
That text is no longer in force. According to the official record in the BPK RI legal database, PP 28/2019 was "revoked and declared no longer applicable" by PP 45/2024, in force since 17 December 2024. The million a day, though, has not budged: the official sources published since (Surakarta in September 2025, France Diplomatie in 2026) repeat it as is, and the e-visa portal's FAQ still displays it. One caveat: the same record notes that a PP 30/2026 partially repeals PP 45/2024 for certain fee types, and we could not verify whether the "overstay" line is affected. If you need to cite a precise legal basis, refer to the PNBP tariff regulation currently in force rather than to a PP number.
What happens from 60 days?
The regime changes in kind. Below 60 days, an overstay is an administrative offence that ends with a payment. From 60 days, paying is no longer enough. Surakarta Immigration is explicit: "for an overstay of 60 days and above, the penalty is heavier; under the Immigration Law, it is deportation and penangkalan", in other words an entry ban, the blacklist. The headquarters of the Directorate General of Immigration had already written as much on 12 April 2023: beyond 60 days, the foreigner "will be directly subject to deportation and penangkalan". And France Diplomatie: "Beyond these 60 days, the offender is expelled from the territory at their own expense and is subject to a ban on entering Indonesia."
Immigration then describes what follows: the foreigner is first placed in an immigration detention room (ruang detensi), for 30 days at most; if the procedure drags on, they can be transferred to a detention centre (rumah detensi).
Deportation costs are charged to the foreigner's sponsor (penjamin); failing that, to the foreigner themselves, then to their family, then to their country's representation. If you stand as sponsor for a friend or relative, their deportation bill can become yours.
One last detail: the stamp. According to Bali's regional office, those who cannot pay the fine are deported with a deportation stamp in their passport; those who pay avoid it.
| Overstay of under 60 days | Overstay of 60 days and over | |
|---|---|---|
| Nature | Administrative offence | Deportation and entry ban |
| What you pay | 1,000,000 IDR per day, in full | The cost of your own deportation (you or your sponsor) |
| Where it happens | Airport immigration counter on departure, or an immigration office | Immigration detention room (30 days at most), then a detention centre if the procedure drags on |
| Mark in the passport | No deportation stamp if the fine is paid | Deportation stamp |
| Returning to Indonesia | Possible, but the fine you paid extended no visa | Barred for the duration of the penangkalan |
One discrepancy between official texts on the exact window of the fine: the April 2023 article from Immigration headquarters speaks of an overstay "of up to 30 days at most" and says nothing about the 31-to-59-day bracket; Bali's regional office (January 2024) and Surakarta (September 2025) put the line just under 60 days. We go with those two later wordings, more recent and consistent with France Diplomatie. That is no reason to go and test the limit.
How long does the re-entry ban last?
This is the point on which the sources diverge the most.
The legal framework first. The third amendment to the immigration law, as explained by the Banggai immigration office on 21 October 2024, sets the duration of penangkalan at 10 years at most, extendable by 10 years.
Then the practice. For a plain overstay, Immigration's official article of April 2023 states that the ban "generally lasts 6 months". The agency visa-indonesia.com, on a page updated 19 January 2026, gives "6 months to 2 years" after deportation. The consultancy xpnd restates the extendable 10-year cap and mentions a possible prison sentence. Bali Zero, finally, publishes a tiered scale (1 year for 61 to 90 days, 2 years for 91 to 180 days, 5 years beyond that, more for repeat offenders, up to permanent exclusion) without citing a single text. That is practice as reported by an agency, not an official scale.
The most cautious wording fits in one sentence: the law caps the ban at an extendable 10 years; in practice, a plain overstay most often means 6 months to 2 years with the door shut. For an expat with a lease, a scooter, children in school or a company on the island, six months is enough to undo all of it.
Where and how do you pay the fine?
Two counters coexist, depending on your situation. If you are leaving a few days late, the fine is settled at the airport immigration counter at the time of departure; visa-indonesia.com advises getting there early, three to four hours before your flight, and bringing cash, as payment is "usually accepted in cash (Indonesian Rupiah)". If you are still on the island and want to regularise before organising your departure, the immigration office is the competent authority (in Bali: Ngurah Rai, Denpasar or Singaraja).
Three rules do not budge. First: you do not leave the country without having paid. France Diplomatie puts it in black and white ("a foreigner who has overstayed will not be allowed to leave the country if they have not paid the amount of the fine") and adds that anyone who fails to regularise quickly can be placed in detention; the same page warns that immigration services are "very vigilant, particularly at airports at the time of boarding". Second: paying extends nothing. "Paying daily fines does not extend your visa validity," visa-indonesia.com reminds its readers; the meter keeps running for as long as you are in the country. Third, put bluntly by the Expat Web Site Association of Jakarta: you pay "the official fine in full", and "this is not a fee you can bargain down".
How not to end up there: the 14-day rule
The scenario every expat wants to avoid is nothing like fraud: it is an extension filed too late. According to Immigration's official page on stay permits, an application to extend a visit stay permit (ITK, Izin Tinggal Kunjungan) is filed at the earliest 14 days before the permit expires, and at the latest before that date. Above all: "the foreigner is not counted as overstaying if the extension fee is paid before their ITK ends". The date that protects you is therefore neither the day you file nor the day of the new stamp, but the day you pay.
In practice, before you even land:
- Write down your visa's expiry date in two separate places and set an alert for D-14, the first day an extension can be filed.
- Pick the right permit before you leave home: on a visit visa, it is the visit stay permit (ITK) that gets extended under the conditions above; for a stay of several years, the question is settled upfront with a KITAS or another long-stay permit, not at the counter on D-1.
- Find out which immigration office you will fall under (Ngurah Rai, Denpasar or Singaraja in Bali) and keep every payment receipt: that is what proves you are not overstaying.
- Keep a reserve in rupiah: leaving two or three days late is often settled in cash, at the airport, before boarding.
For the rest of the arrival admin, our moving-to-Bali checklist covers the ground.
Does Bali actually enforce the rule?
Yes, and it makes sure people know. On 5 January 2024, the Bali regional office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights gave its tally, reported by detik: 256 foreigners deported in 2023 by the island's three immigration offices (164 by Ngurah Rai, 75 by Denpasar, 17 by Singaraja). The total covers every ground for removal: stay-permit problems, visa violations and legal cases. Those figures come from a media outlet quoting a named official; we did not find them on Immigration's website. Nearly two thirds of the cases went through Ngurah Rai, the airport office.
Frequently asked questions
How much does one day of overstay cost in Bali in 2026?
1,000,000 IDR per day, counted from the first day over, or about 50 EUR according to France Diplomatie and 60 to 70 USD according to the specialist English-language sites. The amount is the same in Bali as in the rest of Indonesia: it comes from the national tariff regulation on non-tax state revenue (PP 45/2024 replaced PP 28/2019 on 17 December 2024, and the official sources published since still give 1 million a day), not from a local rule. It applies for as long as the overstay stays below 60 days, which puts the theoretical ceiling at around 60 million IDR.
Can you pay the overstay fine at Denpasar airport?
Yes, for a short overstay, at the immigration counter at the time of departure: visa-indonesia.com advises arriving three to four hours before your flight and bringing cash in rupiah, the payment method usually accepted. If you are still on the island and want to regularise before organising your departure, go to the competent immigration office (Ngurah Rai, Denpasar or Singaraja for Bali), where the official fine is paid in full. In both cases, the amount is not negotiable.
What happens if I reach 60 days of overstay in Indonesia?
The fine is no longer an option. The Directorate General of Immigration states that beyond 60 days the foreigner is "directly" subject to deportation and penangkalan, the entry ban. Before removal, they are placed in an immigration detention room for 30 days at most, then in a detention centre if the procedure drags on. The costs fall to their sponsor or, failing that, to themselves, their family, then their country's representation. France Diplomatie sums it up: deportation at their own expense and an entry ban.
How long does the entry ban last after a deportation?
The sources diverge. The law (UU 63/2024) caps penangkalan at 10 years, extendable by another 10. For a plain overstay, Indonesian Immigration wrote in 2023 that the ban "generally lasts 6 months"; the agency visa-indonesia.com gives 6 months to 2 years as of January 2026. The tiered scale (1, 2, then 5 years) published by a Bali agency cites no legal text: do not take it for an official scale.
Does paying the fine extend my visa?
No. "Paying daily fines does not extend your visa validity," visa-indonesia.com reminds its readers. For as long as you remain in the country, the meter keeps running and you edge closer to the 60-day threshold. The fine does one thing: it lets you leave the country, without a deportation stamp. According to Bali's regional office, those who settle the fine avoid that mark in their passport.
Is there any exemption for illness or a lost passport?
None of the sources we consulted provides for one. France Diplomatie writes that "this measure admits no exception"; neither its page nor the Indonesian Immigration pages we consulted mention pausing the meter for a hospital stay or a stolen passport. If something unexpected pushes you close to the deadline, file the extension as soon as possible (at the earliest 14 days before expiry), pay before the due date and keep proof of it: it is that on-time payment that keeps you clear of an overstay.
When should you file your extension application to avoid overstaying?
According to Indonesian Immigration's official page on stay permits, the extension of a visit stay permit (ITK) is filed at the earliest 14 days before it expires and at the latest before that date. What counts is the payment date: the foreigner "is not counted as overstaying if the extension fee is paid before their ITK ends". Set an alert for D-14, pay without waiting for the final week and keep the receipt.
