Immigration Offices in Bali to Close for Holidays; Tourists Advised to Plan Visa Extensions Early

Bali's immigration offices will be closed during the Christmas and New Year holidays, affecting tourists who need to extend visas or access immigration services. Authorities urge visitors to plan their stay permit extensions in advance to avoid overstaying penalties. With limited working days available, tourists are advised to submit visa extension applications early. Indonesia's Immigration introduced a new Hybrid Application System in May 2025, requiring applicants to complete an online form and attend an in-person appointment. Overstaying is strictly penalized with a fine of Rp 1,000,000 per day.
