🇮🇩 Indonesia Visa Extension 2025: My 30-Day E-VOA Extension Experience in Sumatra!

Описание: Hey everyone! Welcome back to Planet Doug! 🌍 In this video, I share my firsthand experience extending my 30-day Indonesia Visa on Arrival (E-VOA) for an additional 30 days under the NEW 2025 rules.

🔹 What’s Inside?
✅ Step-by-step breakdown of the online application process
✅ Surprising biometrics requirement (but no fingerprints?!)
✅ Confusing emails & unexpected glitches—how I navigated them
✅ Customer service experience at the immigration office (spoiler: it was great!)
✅ Key tips to avoid mistakes when applying for your extension

📍 Where?
I did my extension in Tanjung Balai, Sumatra, but the process applies across Indonesia.

⚠️ Important Note: Visa rules can vary based on nationality, visa type, and even which immigration office you visit. My experience is as a Canadian passport holder with an E-Visa on Arrival.
