Single Entry Business Visa – Who is it for and what are the benefits

The Single Entry Business Visa is designed for foreign nationals traveling to Indonesia for business purposes that require an extended stay. This visa offers greater flexibility than the Visa on Arrival, making it an ideal solution for professionals who need to conduct business meetings, attend conferences, or engage in other business activities over a longer period.

Upon arrival in Indonesia, the Single Entry Business Visa grants an initial validity of 60 days. This period can be extended twice, with each extension providing an additional 60 days, resulting in a total possible stay of 180 days.

What is the purpose of the Single Entry Business Visa?

The Single Entry Business Visa is designed for foreigners visiting Indonesia for business-related purposes, such as attending meetings, conferences, and training sessions, as well as exploring potential investments. However, this visa does not permit formal employment or income generation within Indonesia.

Why Choose the Single Entry Business Visa?

Several key advantages make the Single Entry Business Visa a preferred choice for many business travelers:

Extended Validity

With a potential validity of up to 180 days, this visa allows for comprehensive business engagements and eliminates the need for frequent visa renewals.

Nationality Inclusivity

Unlike the Visa on Arrival, which has nationality restrictions, the Single Entry Business Visa is available to a wider range of nationalities, facilitating smoother travel arrangements for international professionals.

Steps to get your Single Entry Business Visa

  1. Provide all of the requirements

  3. Single entry tourist visa is approved by the immigration
  4. The visa is used to enter Indonesia
  5. Upon the arrival to Indonesia, the foreigner will get 60 day’s stay permit and it’s extendable 2 times (each extension will get 60 day’s additional stay permit)

Common Questions

Is the Single Entry Business Visa the right choice for me?

If your visit to Indonesia is solely for business purposes, this visa is appropriate. However, if you are traveling for tourism, a Single Entry Tourist Visa may be a better alternative. It is important to choose the correct visa type to avoid legal complications upon arrival.

How much does the Single Entry Business Visa cost?

The cost of the visa includes a government fee and a service fee, which may vary depending on the provider. Generally, the government processing fee is around 2,000,000 IDR for a 60-day initial validity. Additional service charges depend on the location and agency assisting with the application.

Can I extend my Single Entry Business Visa?

Yes, the visa can typically be extended up to four times, with each extension granting an additional 30 days. The government fee for each extension is approximately 2,000,000 IDR. It is advisable to check with immigration authorities or a visa service provider for updated extension policies and costs.

 

What happens if I need to visit Indonesia multiple times for business?

If you frequently travel to Indonesia for business, a Multiple Entry Business Visa may be a better option. This visa allows unlimited entries within a 12-month period, though each stay is limited to 60 days per visit. It is ideal for professionals who regularly attend meetings, negotiations, or business discussions in the country.

How long does it take to process a Single Entry Business Visa?

Processing times may vary, but on average, the approval process takes 7 to 14 business days after submission. Applicants are encouraged to apply well in advance of their intended travel date to accommodate potential processing delays.

Are there any additional fees associated with the Single Entry Business Visa?

In addition to the standard government and service fees, additional costs may apply, such as:

  • Urgent processing fees (for expedited applications)

  • Sponsor fees if required

  • Administrative fees for changes or corrections in application details

Can I work in Indonesia with a Single Entry Business Visa?

No, the Single Entry Business Visa does not allow employment or paid work in Indonesia. Foreigners who intend to work in Indonesia must apply for a work permit (KITAS) or other relevant employment visa.

What are the penalties for overstaying a Single Entry Business Visa?

Overstaying a visa in Indonesia results in penalties of 1,000,000 IDR per day. Extended overstays may lead to deportation, blacklisting, or legal consequences. It is crucial to keep track of your visa expiration date and apply for extensions in a timely manner if necessary.
