    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    Thanks. No fine mentioned in any of these 3 cases, so there (most likely) wasn't any to pay, as I have expected. In the second case, he was detained showing up, it seems, with a ticket in hand at Denpasar. He could not fly out before 3 days later, so I suppose he lost his first ticket, if that...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    Thank you, yes, I did read whatever I could find on the subject. Some old stories, a few reasonably new ones. But the embassies sit on many stories that never reach the surface, so I've been gathering some information from them too. Your second link I did in fact post here a few posts ago. I...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    I have been given you an answer to this previously. The practice now is that there is no difference in penalties, or the process awaiting you, whether your overstay is 5 months, or 5 or 10 years. You will be processed the same way, and if you don't have another violation on you, the practice is...

    Yes, thank you for that. I will be mentally prepared for everything, and hope for the best. I hope being polite, showing respect and remorse will go a long way 👍

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    Even if I brought 500 mill with me, it wouldn't change anything. By surrendering, I will be detained until the deportation process and papers is done. My passport will get a blue stamp, and I will be banned, probably for life, with my length of overstay. When I'm cleared, I will need to...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    Remember, this link was written just after they increased the penalty from 300k to 1 mill, in 2019, and the reason this is not specified, is because this was a new rule, and had no practice regarding longer overstayers yet. Now we know better what the actual practice is, as linked a couple of...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    This needs to be clarified. For overstay more than 60 days, like mine, you will not be fined the maximum of 60 million rupiah. You will not get both penalties, this money penalty, AND detention, deportation process and subsequently a ban, on top of that. You will get the last 3, without the...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    Again, it does not seem you understand this law you are reading. The fine is valid if you fail to comply with showing what they ask for in article 71. Not if you surrender yourself, and your case is about overstay only. Try to read the law carefully, and let it sink in. I'm not trying to be...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    I just explained to you who this law is for. It's not for expats whose only violation is overstay. I just copied it for you. The law you're referring to is even made before the fee increased to 1 mill per day.

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    You are referring to a different law. Here is a confirmation of that law, which is used regarding Indonesian companies with illegal workers. Here is the link (scroll doen a little): https://www.expat.or.id/info/overstayingyourvisa.html "The law below is primarily used against Indonesian...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    You don't think foreign governments have checked the law? This same information is posted on other countries' government website too, I just posted this particular one because English is the spoken language here. Now it's up to you to provide a link with your very different information. I have...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    Yes, fluently. I decided to try living in other countries when my wife and I split up though. First Malaysia, then Indonesia.

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    First of all, I'm not here to justify my overstay. I'm here for advice. I will out of courtesy give an answer anyway, because of all the good advice and respectful replies I've got here. First I'll say as much as there is in reality no difference if you have 5 months overstay, or 5 years. The...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    I have been kind of entertaining myself for the last 5 years, with movies, tv-series, and interacting in a couple of discussion forums, so I am used to that idea. Good suggestion about a book to read though. I won't know if even my computer is available for me at the airport, if I am held there...

    Long overstay, wanting to exit. Best course of action?

    This fee or penalty is limited to 60 days of overstay. There is technically no fee for an overstay of more than 60 days. Instead you'll be banned from entering Indonesia for a specific period of time, and detained before deported (paying for your own ticket to your home country). That's the...
