visa extension

Country forums / South-East Asia Islands & Peninsula / Indonesia

I bought a tourist visa on arrival and have a few questions.
I understand the process may take several days. Is it OK to ask for an extension after a two week stay? I don't plan to spend more than 2 or 3 days in each place after these 2 weeks.
Clearly, what is the process like?
Is Solo or Malang a good place to do it? Or Blitar or Surabaya?
Thank you for your help !

It should be OK to extend after 2 weeks but this varies from office to office.
As for which office to use, I suggest you try the first on your itinerary and move n to the next one if it proves unhelpful.
Of the places on your list, I would first try Solo as it is the most interesting city to hang around a few days waiting for the extension to get processed.
With a visa on arrival, you should not need a sponsor which should keep things easier.
