What about the foreigners in emergency visas? Permit extensions
The immigration office granted automatic and free stay permit extensions (emergency visas) to all the tourists and foreigners with a visitor stay permit (B211/212) or visa on arrival (VOA) who couldn’t return to their country due to Covid-19 outbreak, on April 2nd of 2020.
Many foreigners that live here have been worrying about the end of these emergency visas. They think that they may be forced to leave and not be able to come back until the visa on arrival and (B211/212) are working as usual. Ths foreigners that were on holiday are afraid that they’ll be forced to leave before their country is open. All these worries have also been fed by agencies trying to make people do their extensions that were no longer needed to get their commissions.
For the right information, always check the immigration website. The official report says that Emergency Stay Permit is valid until the pandemic is over. As long as the Regulation of Minister of Law and Human Rights of Republic of Indonesia Number 11 of 2020, is in place, no overstay fine will be applied for foreigners.
