First Thing First: FAQ on C Visa Indonesia
How many times can I enter Indonesia with a C Visa?
Once. C visas are single-entry visas, allowing for a one-time entry only into Indonesia. Once you’ve left the country, your C visa loses its mojo – it’s no longer valid for a return trip. If you’re planning another Indonesian adventure, you’ll have to go through the application process again and get a fresh visa before setting foot in the archipelago.
How many C visas are there?
Indonesia offers a diverse range of 30 C visas, each meticulously designed to serve distinct purposes. These visas cater to various needs, spanning from business engagements to cultural exchanges.
What’s the validity period of C visas?
Each C visa type must be used within 90 days from the date of issue. This means that once the visa is granted, you have a window of 90 days to enter Indonesia. If you don’t use the visa within this 90-day timeframe, it becomes invalid, and you will need to reapply if you still plan to visit Indonesia.
How long can I stay in Indonesia with a C visa?
It depends on your visa type. Usually, most C visas let you stay for up to 60 days. But here’s the cool part – some of them give you the green light to stay even longer, up to 180 days.
Are C visas extendable?
Yes, with the exception of one. The C14 visa (specifically for foreign film production) is not extendable. However, other C visas can be extended up to their initial length of permitted stay.
Can I work using a C Visa in Indonesia?
No, you cannot work in Indonesia with a C Visa. However, some C visas allow engagement in some activities (for example Art & Culture Visa), whether or not you receive compensation. Remember the key rule: if your visa doesn’t explicitly grant work rights, working during your stay is strictly prohibited.
