Departed on EPO but e-visa portal won't issue new voa says still in Indonesia

That's a retirement Kitap. A WNI sponsored Kitap may differ.

Mate, I think I made it clear several times that marrying for a visa is out of question. EVER.
Ooops, marrying about love ...
My companion and me live together since over 11 years.
But I don't touch her freedom, and she doesn't touch mine...
Keep it simple.
And I am a lonesome cowboy (not a lonely...) and it suits us fine.

Balipod, I wasn't advocating that you marry for a WNI sponsored Kitap. I am trying to establish that when I report after 5 years on my WNI sponsored permanent Kital I will not have to show proof of income.

Oops! I mean Balifrog... not Balipod.

I left Indonesia in February 2025 on an EPO (Exit Permit Only) issued by Imigrasi Ngurah Rai. Departed within the required timeframe.

On a new passport (old one was full, not expired when replaced - doubt that has relevance) I recently tried to apply for a new visa through the e-visa portal and got an error saying I currently hold a valid visit stay permit and cannot apply for a new one while still in Indonesia — which I’m not. Has anyone experienced this?

Is this likely to be a Stay Permit not cancelled by employer?

I have reached out to both ex-employer and Ngurah Rai Immigration - awaiting feedback if any.

Well it seems this thread got hijacked a bit, but to update on topic if it is helpful to anyone.

Kanor Imigrasi NgurahRai WhatsApp suggested I either use the on arrival VoA or contact Directorate General, as this is not a local office issue. So I contacted DJ by email and they said to use either FB or Instagram chat. I used the Instagram chat for Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi and after sending screenshots of my EPO, old flight ticket out and exit stamp in my passport they replied on a Saturday morning (no less) that they had updated my status in their system and I could go ahead and reapply. This time I got my evisa no problem.

I have to say that although I am not impressed with their overall system (neither am I surprised) I am impressed with the ease and speed of their trouble shooting. I still have no idea how it arose tho shrug
