How National and Balinese Hindu Holidays Affect Visa Processing

Planning a visa application or extension in Indonesia requires careful attention to the official holiday calendar. During national public holidays, joint leave days (cuti bersama), and regional religious holidays, immigration offices, banks, and government institutions are closed.

This is especially important for applicants staying in Bali, where local Balinese Hindu holidays also affect the operation of immigration offices.

Below you will find a complete and practical explanation, followed by full holiday calendars for 2026, so you can plan your visa process correctly and avoid delays.

Important rules you must always consider

• Immigration offices in Indonesia do not operate on:
  • National public holidays
  • Official cuti bersama days
  • Every Saturday and Sunday
• Banks and most government offices are also closed on these days
• Balinese Hindu holidays affect immigration offices located in Bali only

Always allow extra buffer time when planning visa extensions or in-office immigration procedures.

How Flado works during holidays

Flado operates with two physical offices:

• Bali office: https://flado.id/map
• Jakarta office: https://flado.id/mapjkt

Important clarification:

• If immigration offices in Bali are closed due to Hindu holidays, this does not mean your visa application will stop
• All entry visa applications are processed through the General Immigration Office in Jakarta
• Hindu holidays do not affect entry visa submissions
• However, visa extensions and procedures that require physical visits to Bali immigration offices cannot be processed on Hindu holidays

What happens if you submit a request on a holiday or weekend

• Our operators accept and prepare visa applications every day, including weekends and holidays
• Documents are reviewed and prepared in advance
• On the next official working day, our staff submits your application to immigration

This approach helps avoid unnecessary delays even during long holiday periods.
