In Reply to: Passport validity - if a passport is posted by joeyrobby on Friday, 14. October 2011 at 16:14 Bali Time:
I last flew into Indonesia in 2006, I have not left since then. I had one year left on my passport. I had a 5 year visa.
I renewed the passport in Bali. (obviously in 2007)
The ruling is 6 months left on your passport from the date of arrival. The date of departure has NOTHING to do with anything.
If the date of departure was the prime rule there would be very few foreigners permitted to live in Indonesia.
