Index D8 — Sports Participant Visa (Index D8)

The Sports Participant Visa (Index D8) is designed for foreign athletes, coaches, referees, and sports officials invited to participate in sports activities, championships, or training events in Indonesia. Whether it is an international sports tournament, a friendly match, or a specialized coaching program, this multiple-entry visa allows sports professionals to enter Indonesia as needed to fulfill their event-based commitments. It is a vital tool for the international sports community to engage with Indonesia's growing sports sector, providing a streamlined process for those involved in non-commercial or organized sporting events.

This visa is intended for individuals invited by the Indonesian government, international sports federations, or local sports associations. It does not permit formal employment or salary-based work; all activities must be strictly related to the sports event or training program for which the applicant was invited. Participants must have a local sponsor or event organizer who provides a guarantee letter, ensuring the legitimacy of the sports activity. The visa supports the professional development of athletes and the success of international sporting events held within the country.
