Indonesian Business Visa (single-entry and multiple-entry business visas) allows foreigners to come to Indonesia for conferences, training, gatherings, seminars, not for working.
Single Visa
A Single-Entry Business Visa (Index B211) is designed for foreign nationals conducting short-term business activities in Indonesia, such as:
- Attending meetings, conferences, or training sessions.
- Exploring business opportunities or market research.
- Negotiating contracts or signing agreements.
- Validity: 90 days from issuance (must enter Indonesia within this period).
- Duration of Stay: Up to 60 days per entry, extendable twice (30 days each extension) for a total of 120 days.
- Expiry: Visa becomes void after the first exit from Indonesia.
Required Documents
- Passport with minimum 6 months validity.
- Proof of funds (e.g., bank statement with minimum balance of USD 1,500 or equivalent).
- Sponsor letter from an Indonesian entity (PT, PT PMA, or KPPA).
- Return flight ticket itinerary.

Processing Time: 5–7 working days.

What About Sponsorship?
To apply for a Single or Multiple Business Visa, having a local Indonesian sponsor is a mandatory requirement. This sponsor must be a registered business entity in Indonesia, such as a PT, PT PMA, or KPPA.
Your sponsor will issue an official sponsorship letter, which explains the purpose of your visit and supports your visa application with Indonesian immigration authorities.
If you don’t have a local sponsor yet, our team can assist by acting as your official visa sponsor — ensuring your application is smooth, compliant, and professionally handled from start to finish.
Additional Notes
- Sponsorship: The sponsoring company must submit documents to Indonesia’s Immigration Office.
- Extensions: Processed locally in Indonesia through the sponsor.
- Overstays: Penalties apply (IDR 1 million/day).
- Non-Business Activities: These visas do not permit work (paid activities require a work visa/KITAS).
Tip: For stays exceeding 120 days, consider a Limited Stay Visa (VITAS).
