What it means in practice

30 days is about a month. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 30 November 2026, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.

For a longer base you need an extension, if one exists, or a different visa from the start. Repeated back-to-back entries are at the officer's discretion.

How Indonesia counts your stay: Visa on arrival: up to 30 days from the date of arrival. Visa validity (90 days for e-VOA) is not the same as the permitted length of stay.

For United States passports: Eligible for VOA / e-VOA.

At the border

Official details are shown in English.

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months
  • Return or onward ticket
  • All Indonesia declaration completed

How to avoid overstaying

  • Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
  • Plan to leave a day or two early. With 30 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
  • Extend before you run out. VOA can be extended once for 30 days. e-VOA holders extend online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id; holders of a VOA bought at the border extend at the immigration office nearest to where they stay.
  • Penalties. Our data does not list the overstay penalty for Indonesia. Ask the immigration authority before you risk it: fines, deportation and entry bans are common elsewhere.
