Indonesia has extended the length of stay for multiple visa holders to 180 days without leaving the country

Indonesia continues to improve its visa policy, making the country even more attractive to travelers and business people. The new changes allow multiple-entry visa holders to stay in the country for significantly longer, greatly enhancing the comfort and convenience of travel. These innovations open up new opportunities for tourists, entrepreneurs, remote workers, and retirees who want to enjoy the beauty and resources of Indonesia without the need for constant travel and complicated visa procedures.

Previously, the rules limited stays on a multiple-entry visa to 60 days per entry, after which it was necessary to leave the country to reapply for a visa. Currently, travelers can extend their stay twice for 60 days each, which allows them to stay in Indonesia for up to 180 consecutive days without having to leave. At the same time, the validity period of the visa itself remains one year from the date of issue. It is recommended to start the extension procedure 7–10 days before the expiry of the current permit to avoid possible problems.

Travel planning requires careful attention: it is important to consider the validity of the visa and the possibility of extending it in order to make the most of the opportunities available. In most cases, extensions can be obtained online or through authorized agencies such as Visa-Navigator.com. However, for some visa categories, such as business or work visas, you may need to apply in person at the immigration office, submit biometric data, or attend an interview. This is especially true when participating in business events, internships, or investing.

The updated policy makes Indonesia even more attractive for those seeking long-term opportunities for leisure, work, or investment in the rapidly developing region of Southeast Asia. This approach helps strengthen the country's image as a welcoming and convenient place for long-term residence and business cooperation.
