Overview

Single-entry visa for business activities including negotiations, office visits, factory inspections, and investment site visits; extendable to 180 days.

The Single-Entry Business Visit Visa (Index C2) is Indonesia's short-term business visa for foreign nationals requiring temporary professional engagement without local employment. It permits business activities including negotiations, contract signing, factory inspections, and investment site visits. Applicants must have a local sponsor in Indonesia and demonstrate USD 2,000+ in savings.

This visa is issued for an initial 60-day stay and can be extended twice, with each extension granting an additional 60 days, for a maximum total of 180 days. Fees total IDR 1,000,000. As a single-entry permit, departure invalidates it; re-entry requires reapplication. Processing takes 4–5 business days. Dependents may accompany the applicant, though spouses cannot work.

This visa is ideal for corporate representatives, consultants, and business travelers conducting short-term projects, inspections, or contract negotiations in Indonesia.
