If you are regularly entering and exiting Indonesia for business purposes, then the Multiple Entry Business Visa is the visa you should be applying for.
This visa allows the applicant to enter Indonesia multiple times throughout the year for business meetings and leisure activities.
Although the number of trips to the country is not limited, the amount of time you may spend here is limited to 60 days which is not renewable during each trip.
We would advise the usage of this visa for building business relationships, attending meetings, seminars, conferences and other business-related activities; as long as it does not include actual employment.
This visa is the most cost-effective visa for those who do not have permanent residency in the country and have no intention of receiving an income.
When Bali’s borders first closed back in March 2020 (only residents and KITAS holders could enter), the beaches were closed, the waterfalls returned to their most natural states, and that pesky traffic in Bali was a thing of the past.
But then Reality kicked in. For the past year, Locals of Bali have struggled beyond belief. Local families haven’t been able to feed their own children, and rural villages are bursting at the seams, with thousands of workers returning home after losing their jobs in the tourism industry. It’s glaringly obvious that Bali needs its visitors back.
While Bali’s borders are still closed for tourism, you can apply for a visa to enter Indonesia, which will allow you to spend up to six months in Bali. The free “Visas on Arrival” for tourists are still unavailable, but anyone wanting to come to Bali can now apply for this new visa option, letting you fly into Indonesia legally and seamlessly. Here’s all you need to know.
How to get a Multiple Entry Business Visa
- Submit all required documentation: Invitation letter from local company, NPWP (Tax number) of local entity, Company Directors ID, Copy of passport with a minimum validity of 18 months, bank account statement from the sponsor company and a copy of the applicant’s flight itinerary.
- Apply for the Visa and wait for the E-Visa to be sent to you via email.
- Print the E-Visa and bring it with you when you enter Indonesia.
- You may now enter Indonesia as frequently as you wish with a maximum stay of 60 days per visit.
