Overview
Long-term stay permit (5-10 years) for globally recognized experts and talents invited by the Indonesian government or collaborating with national institutions.
The Global Talent Visa (Index E33A/B/C) is a strategic initiative by the Indonesian government to attract world-class professionals, researchers, and experts to contribute to the nation's development. This visa is specifically designed for individuals whose specialized skills are in high demand, whether they are invited directly by government agencies to lead projects or are collaborating with state institutions on critical initiatives. By facilitating the entry of these high-caliber individuals, Indonesia aims to boost its competitiveness in sectors such as technology, science, and industry, fostering innovation and knowledge transfer across the country.
The visa offers long-term residency options of 5 or 10 years, providing stability for experts to fully integrate into their respective projects. It is not intended for general employment but rather for high-level collaboration, research, or advisory roles. Applicants must provide rigorous proof of their expertise, such as academic credentials from top-tier global universities or professional certifications recognized internationally. This program is highly selective, ensuring that only those who can provide tangible value to Indonesia's national agenda are granted entry. It is an excellent pathway for global leaders to make a lasting impact while enjoying the unique cultural and professional environment of Indonesia.
