Business visa to Indonesia

You must apply for an Indonesian business visa at the Indonesian embassy or consulate

There are two main types of Indonesian business visas: single-entry and multiple-entry visas.

A single-entry Indonesian business visa allows the holder to stay in the country for up to 60 days. Once you leave, you cannot re-enter with the same visa.

If you want to stay longer than 60 days, you will need to apply for a visa extension at the immigration office.

The multiple-entry business visa is valid for one year, during which you can stay in Indonesia several times for up to 60 days on each entry.

To obtain a multiple-entry business visa to Indonesia, the company or organization you visit in Indonesia must apply for a visa authorization from the General Directorate of Immigration in Jakarta.

When you apply for an Indonesian business visa, you must have a list of standard visa documents, as well as any documents required by the embassy/consulate.

This includes:

Completed and signed Indonesia visa application form. You can get it on the embassy/consulate website or in their offices, depending on whichever is available.
Your passport. The passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of entry into Indonesia.
Also attach a copy of the passport.
Your picture, glued in the designated place on the visa application form
A copy of your onward or round-trip ticket.
Proof that you have sufficient financial means to support yourself during your stay (for example, a bank statement).
Your passport size photo

Business visa cover letter from the company, organization, or institution where you work in your country. The letter must be written on letterhead and contain the following:

Full address and telephone number of the company/organization/institution.
Number of days and entries for which you apply for a visa
Invitation letter from a company, organization, or institution you are visiting in Indonesia

Similar to the cover letter, the invitation should be written on letterhead and include the following:

Full address and telephone number of the company/organization/institution.
Number of days and entries for which you apply for a visa
Explain whether they are responsible for your accommodation and maintenance costs.
Proof that you have paid the visa fee to Indonesia.
If you are applying for a multiple-entry business visa: Letter of Visa Authorization from the General Directorate of Immigration in Indonesia. Your sponsor in Indonesia must receive this on your behalf.
If you apply by mail: Attach a prepaid return envelope (stamped). The embassy / consulate will use the envelope to return your passport and documents after the visa is issued.
If you are not a citizen of the country you live in: Copy of your valid residence permit / visa.

Indonesian visa fee

Indonesian visa fees are as follows:

Single-entry business visa: $ 50
Multiple-entry business visa: $ 100

Business visa extension to Indonesia

If you are applying for an Indonesian business visa and want to extend your stay, you must do so before the expiration of your current visa at the immigration office in Indonesia.

If you have received a multiple-entry visa, you do not need to apply for an extension. You can leave the country and re-enter, and you will automatically receive another 60 days.

Work visa

Provided you already have a job, obtaining a work visa to Indonesia includes the following steps:

The employer must obtain a permit to work with the Indonesian government "Expatriate Employment Plan" (RPTKA = Rencana Penempatan Tenaga Kerja Asing).
The employer receives the RPTKA from the Ministry of Labor of Indonesia.
The employer applies for a work permit in Indonesia (IMTA = Ijin Mempekerjakan Tenaga Kerja Asing, which translates as "Employment Permit for Foreign Workers").
Before applying, you must send the employer the necessary documents to apply, such as certificates of employment and education, passport copy, etc.
The employer applies for a limited / temporary work visa (VITAS) to the Indonesian Investment Coordination Council (BKPM).
The BKPM issues a letter of recommendation to the Department of Immigration of Indonesia.
You must apply for an Indonesian work visa (aka VITAS) at the nearest Indonesian embassy / consulate. You need photocopies of RPTKA and IMTA.
Once you arrive in Indonesia with a VITAS (visa), the immigration department will issue you with an ITAS (temporary stay permit). ITAS is a permit that allows you to live and work in Indonesia for up to a year (renewable). VITAS is a visa that allows you to enter Indonesia.
Once the Department of Immigration has issued a temporary stay permit, you must apply to the Immigration Office for KITAS.
Obtain a police report letter (STM) from the police department.
Register with your local municipality to obtain a Temporary Resident Registration Certificate (SKPPS).
Your employer must pay the Qualifications and Development Fund (DPKK).

DPKK is a monthly fee of $ 100.

After receiving all these documents, you have obtained an Indonesian work visa and can legally work in Indonesia.

You will need to provide (as a work visa applicant to Indonesia):

Color copy of the passport. The passport must be valid for at least another 18 months
Color copy of your CV (resume). It must bear the company's seal and the signature of the company's director on the seal.
Color copy of your university certificate or higher education. It must be translated into English or Indonesian (if not already available) and have the company's seal and the signature of the company's director above the seal.
Certificate of work experience (at least five years) related to the work
Confirmation of the insurance policy issued by the Indonesian insurance company
Two passport size color photos

If you take family members with you:

Color scans of their passports
Marriage certificate for spouses (in English or Bahasa Indonesia)
Birth certificate of children (in English or Indonesian)
Two passport size photos of each family member

What is the validity period of a work visa to Indonesia?

When you finally receive a completed work visa to Indonesia, it will be valid for a limited period of time, usually 3 months to one year.

In fact, you receive a KITAS or "temporary stay permit card" for employment purposes. Depending on the type of work you perform, your contract, and the decision of the immigration service, KITAS is issued for up to one year and can be extended until the expiration date.

After you have lived in Indonesia for up to three years with KITAS, you can apply for KITAP or "Permanent Residence Permit". KITAP is valid for five years and can be extended.

Can I extend my work visa to Indonesia?

Yes, you can. You will first receive a work visa to Indonesia (KITAS) for a period of 3 months to one year. You can extend this period until it ends. After you have lived in Indonesia for three years in a row, you have the right to apply for a permanent residence permit (KITAP), which is valid for five years and can be extended.
