Overview

Sponsored social, humanitarian, or volunteer visa for 60 days (extendable to 180 days total) requiring a local Indonesian organization to guarantee your activities.

The Social & Humanitarian Visit Visa (Index C6) is a single-entry visa for visiting Indonesia for social activities, humanitarian aid, cultural exchanges, and volunteer programs. It requires sponsorship from a local Indonesian organization or institution and is designed for individuals engaging with communities or contributing to non-profit initiatives without employment.

The visa grants an initial 60-day stay, extendable twice for an additional 60 days each time, allowing up to 180 days total with 90-day validity from issuance. Processing typically takes 5 working days after payment. The visa strictly prohibits paid employment, income generation, or sale of goods or services—all activities must remain within approved scope.

This visa is ideal for international volunteers, humanitarian workers, and social development professionals participating in non-profit initiatives or cultural exchange programs in Indonesia.
