- If you've misplaced your passport, retracing your steps is the first step. Return to places you've visited recently, such as attractions, restaurants, or shops, and check with Lost and Found. There's a chance you may find your passport. If not, move on to the next step.
- Step 2: Report the Loss to Local Authorities
- Head to the nearest police station to report the loss. This report is crucial for any further steps. Once accepted, you'll receive a "Receipt of Report" in Indonesian.Step 3: Apply for Confirmation of Loss
- Apply for a "Confirmation of Reporting the Loss of Passport" from the Exit & Entry Administration of Immigration. You'll need documents like the police report, copies of lost documents, and recent photos. Processing takes about 2 working days.

- You have 30 days to get a replacement passport and a new Indonesia visa. Visit your embassy or consulate promptly to get a new passport or a temporary one. EasyTrans is available to assist you.
- Step 5: Apply for A New Indonesia Visa
