Business Visa Assistance for Your Next Trip to Indonesia

Eligibility is assessed according to nationality, visa category, supporting documents, and current immigration rules. Some nationalities may face additional documentation or approval requirements. Ask us to review your nationality and proposed travel activities before making non-refundable arrangements.

Your permitted stay depends on the visa approval. Some business-visit arrangements provide an initial 60-day stay with a potential extension, subject to the category and immigration approval. Confirm the specific dates and extension terms for your issued visa before arranging your trip.

The distinction is how often you can enter Indonesia during the approved period:

• Single-entry business visa: Intended for one entry. Departure generally ends the ability to re-enter using that single-entry permission.
• Multiple-entry business visa: Designed for return trips while the visa remains valid, subject to the stay conditions of each entry.

Depending on your application, supporting paperwork may include:

• Valid passport
• Completed application details
• Passport photograph
• Invitation letter, when applicable
• Relevant business documents
• Travel itinerary
• Evidence of financial means
• Travel insurance, where requested
• Employment confirmation, where relevant

Government processing time depends on the application route, the completeness of your documents, and any additional review. Different application routes can have different review times. For the two packages shown above, use the stated 7–10 working-day estimate and leave room for delays before booking fixed commitments.

The usual sequence is to prepare the requested documents, submit the application through the appropriate route, arrange payment, wait for the decision, and receive the issued visa. We can help you understand which steps are part of your selected package.

Begin the extension discussion before the end of your permitted stay. You can plan around the following general sequence:

1. Check with the relevant immigration office or representative at least one week before expiry.
2. Complete the extension application.
3. Prepare your passport, visa, and any sponsor-related supporting records.
4. Confirm and pay the applicable extension fee.
5. Submit the application and supporting documents through the required process.
6. Wait for the decision and check your revised stay dates if the request is approved.

Ownership rules depend on the type of Indonesian company and the business sector. A domestically owned PT has a different ownership framework from a PT PMA, the structure used for foreign investment. Discuss the ownership plan and sector restrictions before incorporating a company.

Corporate income tax is a separate matter from immigration permission. The tax rate and any available incentives depend on the relevant tax year and circumstances, so confirm them with our tax team before relying on a figure in a business plan.
