How it works
Send a passport-spread photo, a personal photo, your marital status, e-mail and a WhatsApp or Telegram contact.
We invoice you for the chosen package. Paying the invoice means you accept our public offer — there is no separate contract to sign.
Once payment arrives, your document package goes into work.
Consular and administrative fees are paid on your behalf.
When the e-Visa is ready you get a notification, and the document is uploaded to your personal account — always at hand.
Every visit visa: days and prices side by side
Compared on what actually matters when choosing: how many days you get, how many extensions, and whether you have to fly out.
| Visa | Days on entry | Extensions | Total days | Turnkey price | Entries |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| eVOA / B1 | 30 | one, +30 | 60 | 900,000 | single |
| C1 tourist | 60 | two, +60 each | 180 | from 2,500,000 | single |
| C2 business | 60 | two, +60 each | 180 | from 4,200,000 | single |
| D1 multiple entry | 60 | up to 180 per visit | 1–2 years | from 5,000,000 | multiple |
| D2 business multiple | 60 | up to 180 per visit | 1–2 years | from 5,500,000 | multiple |
| D12 pre-investment | 180 | up to a year | 1–2 years | from 7,500,000 | multiple |
Each C1 extension costs IDR 2,500,000. A year on a chain of C1s with two extensions works out at around IDR 15,000,000 and requires a flight out between cycles; the E33G remote worker KITAS costs IDR 12,000,000 and requires none.
Extending the visa
A C1 visa can be extended twice, 60 days each — up to 180 days in the country without leaving, after which you must exit. Extensions are paid separately; start the process no later than 14 business days before your current visa expires.
What documents does an extension need?
If you arranged the visa yourself, we'll need:
- A full passport-spread photo
- A personal photo
- Your ITK or the entry sticker in your passport
- Marital status
- E-mail and a WhatsApp or Telegram contact
If we issued your visa, your data is already in our system — just message us a photo of the passport sticker, or your entry date if you used the e-gates, and we'll pull up the record and start the extension.
Note: if the passport or entry stamp is damaged (torn, water-damaged, etc.), immigration may refuse the extension — success can't be guaranteed in such cases.
How do I start an extension?
Just write to us. Send a photo of your passport sticker — or your entry date if you passed through the automatic gates — and we'll locate your entry record, load it into your account and create the extension.
How much does an extension cost?
- 2,500,000 IDR — Minimal package, 10 business days
- 3,500,000 IDR — Regular package, 5–6 business days
- Turnkey prices: the government extension fee is already included, nothing to top up at the office
- Each of the two extensions is paid separately
Can the extension be expedited?
Yes. The standard process takes about two weeks; expedited — 5 to 7 business days. It's a paid service, and the final timing depends on the stage at which you request it and the specifics of the extension.
Is biometrics required?
Yes — biometric submission is currently mandatory per Immigration Office requirements.
Frequently asked questions
How is a business visa different from a tourist one?
The difference is the purpose of the trip and what you may do. A tourist visa covers holidays, travel and personal visits; a business visa covers meetings and negotiations.
Note: neither visa grants the right to work or earn income in Indonesia.
Can I get a tourist visa after a business visa?
Yes. Switching visa types is straightforward and usually raises no questions at entry.
Which cities does the visa cover?
The C1 e-Visa isn't tied to a city — you can enter through any international airport in Indonesia that accepts foreign nationals.
Can minors travel on their own?
Yes, with a notarized parental or guardian consent translated into English. Also check the airline's rules in advance — many won't board an unaccompanied minor.
Why does the choice of agency matter?
When you apply through an agency, a sponsor is assigned to you — all matters of your stay run through them. Changing sponsors is possible but slow and laborious.
The agency's quality determines correct paperwork, met deadlines and support at every stage, extensions included. Mistakes turn into delays, extra costs and immigration complications — so pick a reliable partner from the start.
Why shouldn't I buy tickets before the visa is issued?
Visas are issued by Indonesian Immigration, and timing depends on their internal processes — delays happen and can't be influenced. It's safer to book flights after the visa is in hand.
Tickets are bought but the visa isn't ready — what now?
You can enter on a Visa on Arrival (VOA). Once the C1 is ready, you'll need to fly out and re-enter on the long-stay visa.
What is overstay and what does it cost?
Overstay means remaining in the country past your visa's limit. Indonesia enforces this strictly: the fine is 1,000,000 IDR per day. Up to 60 days it's paid at the airport on departure; beyond that, additional immigration measures are possible — seek advice early.
