- Who it's for
- Travelers visiting Indonesia for tourism or business whose nationality is not covered by Visa on Arrival, or who need a longer stay than the Visa on Arrival allows. It is the right fit when the stay itself is long rather than for a quick trip.
- Permitted activities
- Tourism, visiting friends and family, business, government business, shopping, meetings including speaking at one, and transit. Any employment relationship is off limits, as is direct selling in Indonesia or taking wages from an Indonesian person or company.
- How you travel
- You may arrive by air, sea, or land. This is a single-entry visa, so it is used up on your first entry and a side trip to a neighboring country mid-stay means arranging a second document.
- Delivery format
- A digital approval letter arrives by email as a PDF. Your entry is verified electronically, so there is no sticker or stamp to collect in your passport beforehand.
- Good to know
- The government requires an eligible Indonesian guarantor for every applicant, either an individual resident in Indonesia or an Indonesian company. Minors need their own application under the same guarantor, plus a birth certificate and, when traveling with one parent, that parent's consent. Everyone also files the separate Arrival Card before arrival.
- Validity
- Valid for 60 days
- Entry
- Single entry
- Length of stay
- Stay up to 60 days per entry
- Processing time
- Get it in as fast as 5 days

It‘ very easy to apply for the Visa, but in advance it’s good to know that you have to upload a passport photo and your passport from the files
Fairly easy to use. We struggle a bit with Technology so attaching the photo took awhile. We paid the tourist entry fee too but not sure what happens to this.
Information and documents were fast. Document easy to complete but find fees expensive. But very happy of the service and well explain. I like the apps that I download on my phone. Easy access to documents

Indonesia visa FAQs
Quick answers to the most common questions about the Indonesia C1 (B211A Visa).
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need a C1 Visa if I am eligible for a Visa on Arrival (VoA)?
If you are from a VoA-eligible country (like the US, UK, or Australia) and plan to stay for less than 60 days, you can usually use the VoA. However, the C1 Visa (B211A) is an excellent option if you want to have your visa secured before you land, or if you are from a country that is not on the VoA list.
How will I receive the Indonesia C1 Visa?
You will receive your approved visa as a PDF document via email. You should save this on your mobile device and print a copy to show to immigration officers upon arrival at major airports like Jakarta (CGK) or Bali (DPS). If you apply through iVisa, you can also find a copy of your visa in your dashboard.
How long can I stay in Indonesia with a C1 Visa?
The C1 Visa allows for an initial stay of 60 days. Because it is a single-entry visa, if you leave Indonesia, the visa becomes invalid, even if you haven't used the full 60 days.
Can I extend my Indonesia C1 Visa?
Yes. The C1 Visa (B211A) can typically be extended while you are in Indonesia. You can extend it up to twice, with each extension granting an additional 60 days, allowing for a total stay of up to 180 days. You must visit a local immigration office in Indonesia to process these extensions.
How long does Indonesia C1 Visa processing take?
Government processing usually takes around 5 to 10 business days. With iVisa, you choose your processing speed at checkout, and the option you pick is shown with its delivery time before you pay.
Do children/minors need an Indonesia C1 Visa?
Yes. Every traveler, regardless of age, must have their own individual visa. Parents can complete the application on behalf of their children. You can use iVisa's "Add another person" feature to manage the whole family's applications in one session.
What activities are permitted on a C1 Visa?
You can use the C1 Visa for: Tourism and sightseeing, Visiting friends or family, Attending business meetings or seminars, Purchasing goods or attending trade fairs. Note: You cannot engage in paid work or be employed by an Indonesian company with this visa.
What happens if my application is denied?
Denials are usually caused by unclear document scans or failing to provide sufficient proof of funds. iVisa's expert review process is designed to catch these issues before submission. iVisa also offers optional denial protection for your application.
