TL;DR
Overstaying results in an official fine paid at immigration in the airport, after which a stamp is placed in your passport. A 30-day visa on arrival costs $33, payable in cash.
The overstay fine is official and paid directly at the immigration desk in the airport before departure. After payment, a stamp is placed in your passport — this is standard procedure.
If your flight is on the 31st day of your stay, it is possible to extend your visa and pay for that extra day.
If your visa extension has been applied for and paid on time but the old visa has already expired, whether a fine applies at departure is unclear — it's best to confirm directly with immigration authorities.
A Visa on Arrival can be obtained at Bali's airport for $33, paid in cash. Change is given in Indonesian rupiah, which is handy for taking a taxi right away.
