Hello,I entered Indonesia on free visa for 30 days on 29th December so 27th January will be my 30 days here.Does this mean I have to leave Indonesia by 27th or can I leave on 28th?


Also can I leave Indonesia for Singapore and enter again on free visa same day or next?

Thanks .

Indonesia counts the day you enter and the day you leave as full days, so you have to leave on the 27th to avoid overstay.

Also can I leave Indonesia for Singapore and enter again on free visa same day or next?

You can do this. But there is a small chance that immigration will question why you are returning so quickly. Visa free is for tourism only, so be ready to support this. (ie have hotel reservation and itinerary etc)

These days the Singapore Visa Run to reenter with visa free or VOA is frowned upon. Prepare to be questioned if you go that way, especially if it is not your first SVR.

If you want to be on the safe side you can bring along with you a copy of your marriage certificate should you be asked any question.
If any immigration officer is keeping you longer than necessary with questions just kindly tell them that you plan to apply for a KITAS soon and that you are in the process to gather all necessary documents.

Atlantis, that's a great idea,gathering document about KITAS. I will definitely use that if I am asked. Going to Singapore tomorrow and coming back to Medan day after,will share my experience here.
