C12 Pre-Investment Visa – Who is it for and what are the benefits
The C12 Pre-Investment Visa is a newly introduced visa category in Indonesia, specifically designed for foreign individuals seeking to explore business opportunities before committing to an investment. It grants a stay of up to 180 days (6 months) in Indonesia. However, it’s a single-entry visa, requiring you to reapply for a new visa if you leave the country during this period.
Upon receiving your e-Visa via email, you have a 90-day window to enter Indonesia from the specified release date. To ensure a smooth and timely visa application process, it’s highly recommended to double-check your flight details and submit your application at least one month before your intended travel date.
