New for 2026: the All Indonesia Arrival Card is mandatory. Complete it before you fly. How to complete it

Visa C2 and D2

Meetings, Not Employment

The C2 for a single trip, the D2 for repeated ones. Both cover meetings, conferences, audits and investment work. Neither covers being paid.

What the business visa actually is

A business visa is permission to do business here, not to be paid here. That line is the whole point of the category.

Meetings, audits and investment exploration are business activity. Being paid by anyone in Indonesia is work, and the two are treated very differently.

A five year D2 needs a passport that outlives it. That single detail sends more applications back than anything else in this category.

What it costs

All in, government fees included. Deposits and balances required by regulation sit outside this and are yours to hold.

  • Business visa C2 Single entry, all in From USD 329
  • Business visa D2 Multiple entry, all in From USD 849
  • Stay per visit Sixty days on both Up to 60 days
  • Bali Tourist Levy Separate government charge, per arrival IDR 150,000

Government fees are inside our figure. Sponsorship is arranged as part of the filing rather than charged separately.

Three things business travellers get wrong

The first one is the whole category.

Business is not work

Meetings and audits are covered. Being paid by anyone here is not, and that is what enforcement looks for.

Working KITAS E23

The passport must outlive the visa

A five year D2 needs a passport that lasts. Renewing mid validity does not carry it across.

Ask us first

Sixty days is per visit

Not per year. Each entry restarts the count, and overstaying it is overstay like any other.
