Download - Unravelling The Business Visa Confusion
WHETHER IT’S DELIBERATE OR NOT, INDONESIA’S
GOVERNMENT IMPOSES STRICT PENALTIES FOR
HAVING THE WRONG VISA.
ONE OF THE VISA YOU CAN GET WRONG IS THE BUSINESS VISA
WHEN DO YOU NEED A BUSINESS VISA INDONESIA?Based on Article 38 of the Immigration Law, a business activity requires a visit visa. Since the scope of such visa is wide, the government breaks it down to social, cultural, tourist, and business visa.
Then, what constitutes a business in the country to warrant such type of visa??? When do you need it and not tourist or other forms of visas???
You need to have one if you’re in the country for enterprise-related activities, which may be a conference, seminar, meeting, or research. One of the primary criteria is you should not be receiving any monetary compensation in exchange for your presence. Otherwise, it may already require a work permit Indonesia. It also follows you don’t seek or obtain employment in the process.
WHAT KIND OF INDONESIAN BUSINESS VISA DO YOU GET???Your Indonesian business visa can be single or multiple entry. While you can get the latter, you are more likely to enter with less hassle if you choose the single entry. It is valid for 60 days, and you can ask for an extension from the immigration authority.
If you already have three stamps, you can opt for the multiple entry, which is valid for 12 months. You are still limited to 60 days pervisit, but you can go in and out of the country as many times as you want within a year’s period.
WHO APPLIES FOR THE BUSINESS VISA?You cannot get a business visa without a sponsor who may be a local or foreign company, a local or foreign institution, or a representative office. Your sponsor will be the one to send your invitation.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PROCESS THE VISA?It usually takes 7-10 business or working days to process your business visa, but that doesn’t mean you and your sponsor can be complacent about it. The Immigration Office in Jakarta, the agency responsible for approving the invitation, provides a quota per day. Once it’s filled up, your sponsor needs to submit the invitation on the following day.
Our goal is to get your business visa as fast as possible. For this reason, we work closely with your sponsor here, ensuring they have the right invitation letter for you. Knowing how busy companies can be, our diligent staff can also file invitation on the sponsor’s behalf.
Don’t let the business visa confusion stress you.
