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.

- Conducting market research and feasibility studies.
- Meeting with potential partners or investors.
- Attending conferences or exhibitions related to your business interest.
- Handling basic administrative tasks with local organizations.
It is not intended for active business operations like selling goods or services, receiving payments, or setting up a company. If you intend to conduct business, you would need a different visa, such as a Business Visa.

Aside from the pre-investment activities mentioned above, you can also:
- Travel around Indonesia for tourism purposes.
- Visit friends or family.
Can I exit Indonesia and re-enter using the same visa?
No, the Single Entry Pre-Investment Visa allows only one entry into Indonesia. Once you leave the country, the visa is no longer valid, even if it hasn’t reached its 180-day expiry date. If you need to exit and re-enter, you would need to apply for a new visa.
