Indonesia’s Immigration Department has announced that, effective May 29, 2025, foreign nationals applying for a stay permit extension are required to undergo biometric photo capture and an interview at the immigration office.
The registration procedure and the uploading of required documents must still be completed online through the portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id. This provision also applies to holders of Visa on Arrival (VoA).
Foreign nationals belonging to vulnerable groups such as the elderly, persons with disabilities, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and those in urgent conditions can complete the application registration process, document submission, and payment directly along with the photo capture and interview at the immigration office in person.
