TL;DR

The discussions claim that some Indonesian visas can be extended or converted to a KITAS without leaving Bali, including certain sponsor-change cases. Eligibility depends on the visa type and current status, so it requires an individual check.

What the community said

The newest post says an existing Indonesian visa may be extendable or convertible to a KITAS without leaving the country. The current visa details need to be reviewed first.

KITAS

It is also claimed that holders of a KITAS under another sponsor may sometimes be able to extend or change status in Bali without a mandatory exit. This is not guaranteed and depends on the individual permit.

KITAS under another sponsor

The posts advise not treating an initial refusal of an in-country process as final: some visa situations may still have an extension option inside Indonesia. The visa document or its details should be checked.
