Most foreign business visitors need an Indonesian business visa (C2 single-entry, formerly B211A, or D2 multiple-entry) for meetings, negotiations and site visits; it does not permit local employment. Core requirements include a passport valid for at least 6 months and a sponsor letter. Some nationalities qualify for visa-free entry or a visa on arrival for short stays, and business applicants can discuss, negotiate and sign contracts.
Estimated cost: Government e-Visa fee, paid online by card (Mastercard, Visa or JCB) or via SIMPONI. Confirm the current fee amount on evisa.imigrasi.go.id before applying.
Processing: Apply online before travel; allow several working days for a single-entry business visa and longer for a multiple-entry visa. Confirm current timelines on the official e-Visa portal.
Business visa activities cover meetings, discussions, negotiations and signing contracts. Carry sufficient living-expense funds, respect local customs and culture, and comply with all visa conditions and Indonesian law while in the country.
