Which route fits your trip
The C2 is Indonesia’s main business visit visa. Applicants create an account on the official e-visa website, upload a passport valid for at least six months, three months of bank statements and a recent photo, and pay the fee through the billing code.
The official page says most applicants do not need a sponsor, except stateless people, holders of travel documents other than national passports and nationals of countries on a specific list. Check that list for your nationality on the official site before you apply.
The C2 allows a first stay of up to 60 days, which can be extended online up to 180 days in total. It does not allow paid work.
What a strong file usually contains
Every case is different; this is the base list we start from.
- A valid passport with at least six months’ validity and blank pages
- Recent photographs to the official specification
- An employer letter stating your role, the purpose of the trip and who pays
- Company documents, such as registration and tax records
- Personal or company bank statements
- Hotel booking and return or onward ticket
- Letter from the Indonesian company describing the meetings

Why files get refused or returned
Most delays come from documents that do not match each other or the stated purpose of the trip.
- Names, dates or company details that differ between the invitation and the application
- A vague purpose with no company names or dates
- Weak evidence of employment or finances
- Applying too close to the travel date
- Previous overstays or immigration problems
Before you fly and at the border
Check the name, passport number, validity and number of entries as soon as the visa is issued. Carry printed copies of the visa, the invitation and the hotel booking; the border officer decides on entry and the length of stay.
Leave before the permitted stay ends. Overstaying can lead to fines and make future applications harder for you and your company.
