Like other countries, you need a valid visa to visit Indonesia. Depending upon your purpose of visit, there are various types of visas in Indonesia. Here are several types, which we frequently arrange for business visitors. 1. Business Visa If you are visiting Indonesia for a business purpose, such as conducting business discussions, attending conferences, training, etc., you should apply for a Business Visa. The applicant must have a sponsorship from an Indonesian company. If you don’t have a sponsor yet, we can provide you with visa sponsorship. Please note that a Business Visa does not allow you to earn money and take up employment in Indonesia. There are two types of Business Visas in Indonesia: 1.1. Single Entry Business Visa A Single Entry Business Visa is valid for 60 days initially and can be extended up to four times. You need to arrange visa extensions at the immigration office in advance of the expiration date. The total validity of a Single Entry Business Visa is 180 days at most. As the name implies, a Single Entry Business Visa expires once you leave Indonesian territory. 1.2. Multiple Entry Business Visa A Multiple Entry Business Visa enables you to make repeated business visits to Indonesia. The total validity of a Multiple Entry Business Visa is 1 year. It also has a 60-day stay permit upon every arrival and cannot be extended for more than 60 days per stay period. Thus, you must exit Indonesian territory on the 60th day at the latest, and then you are allowed to enter Indonesia again. 2. Limited Stay Visa (KITAS) If you intend to stay in Indonesia for a certain period of time, you should apply for a Limited Stay Visa (KITAS). Generally, the maximum validity of a KITAS is for 1 year and is extendable. There are various types of KITAS, depending on the purpose and conditions of your stay in Indonesia. Below are the most common types of KITAS: 2.1. KITAS – Work Visa Working in Indonesia as a foreign resident requires a work visa or permit, which typically involves sponsorship from an Indonesian company. The maximum validity of a KITAS – Work Visa is 1 year and is extendable up to 5 times (sponsorship must be the name). For a KITAS – Work Visa, you must arrange for an RPTKA (Work Permit) and are required to pay DPKK (Expertise Skill Development Fund) for around US$1,200 for 1 year to the Ministry of Labor. After entering Indonesia, you must report to the immigration office within 7 days of your arrival to arrange for a KITAS Card. If you exit Indonesia and return to Indonesia, you must arrange for an “Exit Re-entry Permit” before departure. 2.2. KITAS – Married with Indonesian Spouse If you (as the foreign spouse) have legally married an Indonesian husband or wife and prefer to stay in Indonesia, you are eligible to obtain a KITAS – Married with an Indonesian Spouse. Your Indonesian spouse will sponsor your KITAS. Once you have the KITAS – Married with Indonesian Spouse, your children under age 18 will be able to enter Indonesia. 3. Permanent Stay Visa (KITAP) After 5 years, KITAS holders are eligible to apply for a Permanent Stay Visa (KITAP). It is valid for a total of 25 years and must be revalidated every 5 years. Only a retired person does not require a KITAS to apply for a KITAP. The local immigration office determines how each KITAP is granted. The visa conversion is initiated with a formal letter to immigration requesting conversion at the same time as the KITAS is renewed. 4. Retirement VISA If you are retired or are a senior citizen at least 55 years old and you intend to stay in Indonesia longer than 60 days, a Retirement Visa will be suitable. A Retirement Visa is valid for 1 year and can be extended up to 5 times, subject to immigration approval. Please note that a Retirement Visa is treated like a Limited Stay Visa, which means that you must have an Indonesian sponsor to seek authorization from Indonesian immigration before applying for the visa at the Embassy/Consulate General in your country. In addition to the above visas, there are several other types according to the purpose of your visit, including Tourist Visa, Socio-Cultural Visa, Student Visa, Family Reunion Visa, and Visa for Professionals such as Artists, Investors, and others.
