B211A Visa Extension Guide 2026 – The 180-Day Pathway

The core advantage of entering Indonesia on a B211A Visit Visa is its massive longevity. An initial eVisa grants 60 days. This 60-day block can be subsequently extended while you firmly remain onshore inside the country.

You are legally isolated to a maximum of exactly two extensions.

• Base Visa: 60 Days
• Extension 1: +60 Days (Total 120 Days)
• Extension 2: +60 Days (Total 180 Days)

Upon reaching day 180, the system hard-locks. You must secure an onshore conversion to a KITAS or fly out of Indonesia.

A B211A extension entirely hinges on your legal sponsor. If your initial eVisa was sponsored by an agency (like PT Indonesian Visas), you MUST use that identical agency to process the extensions. Switching sponsors mid-visa requires a complex "Mutasi Sponsor" process involving severe bureaucratic negotiation.

The required paperwork is heavy, but handled entirely by your sponsor. The local immigration office requires:

• Original Passport
• Sponsor Guarantee Letter with Materai (Official Tax Stamp)
• Sponsor Corporate Registration Documents
• Printout of the original eVisa PDF

Unlike the cheap 500k VoA, the B211A 60-day extension carries a massive governmental PNBP fee of 2,000,000 IDR. Factoring in corporate facilitation, expect to pay around 2,800,000 IDR per extension block.

Absolutely NOT. The B211A is a Single-Entry visa. If you clear immigration to board an international flight while holding a B211A—even if you just paid for an extension and have 50 days left—the visa is instantly canceled when the immigration officer stamps your exit. You will have to buy a new visa to return.

For your primary (first) B211A extension, you must attend the immigration office briefly for photo and fingerprint capture. However, for your second extension (days 120 to 180), biometric capture is generally waived as your data is already locked into the immigration mainframe from the first extension—meaning the second extension is entirely passive on your end.
