Question:
What are the consequences if you overstay your visa?
Answer:
It is always a serious matter when you overstay your visa in any part of the world, especially in a place like Bali with burgeoning tourism. The punishment includes fines, imprisonment, and deportation.
For most short-term visitors and tourists, you will have to keep in mind of the 60-day rule: a daily fine of US$25 incurs if you overstay your Bali visa for less than 60 days and a daily fine with possible deportation and being blacklisted if you overstay your visa for more than 60 days.
For foreigners working in Bali, if you violate the law with regards to your work visa and stay permit, the penalty is significantly more severe than what we have mentioned earlier: a fine of US$35,000 (IDR 500 million) or five years of imprisonment.
