Single Entry Tourist Visa C1

Indonesia Tourist Visa C1 – Who is it for?

If you are travelling for tourism or to visit friends and family and plan to stay in Indonesia for up to 60 days, the Single Entry Tourist Visa may be a suitable option for eligible applicants.

Issued under Indonesia’s immigration framework, this visa allows foreign visitors to enter the country for short-term purposes without relying on a Visa on Arrival. It can be particularly useful for travellers whose nationality is not eligible for VoA or those who plan to apply for another stay permit after arrival.

The Single Entry Tourist Visa is also a practical option for applicants seeking a straightforward visa process, with a clear visa fee and requirements before departure.

Another advantage is that eligible applicants can obtain the visa before travelling to Indonesia. This is important for travellers who may later plan to reside in Indonesia under a KITAS or another visa category, as they may need to enter the country using the appropriate visa rather than a VoA.

For those planning to stay longer than 60 days, applicants should consider the appropriate visa or stay permit before departure. A new application may be required depending on the intended purpose and immigration status.

How Does Indonesia Tourist Visa Work?

To ensure a smooth entry into Indonesia, choosing the right type of visa is crucial. First, determine the purpose of your visit and check your eligibility for the e-Visa on the official website. If you qualify for the e-Visa and it suits your needs, proceed to apply online and make the payment. However, suppose your visit involves reasons beyond the scope of the e-Visa, such as a longer stay or activities like attending a conference as a speaker. In that case, you’ll need to apply for a Visitor Visa at the Indonesian Embassy/Consulate in your home country. Gather the required documents and submit your application by yourself or through your trusted Visa Consultant.

If you apply through Lets Move Indonesia, we can act as your sponsor and process the visa on your behalf. When the visa process is complete, you are allowed to enter Indonesia. The visa is valid for 60 days. You may then extend the visa two times, therefore, the maximum validity of the visa combined is 180 days.

Please note that as your sponsor, Lets Move Indonesia will process the visa on your behalf, and there are additional fees. Check out our Visa Extension page for full details.

Final note: As the name suggests, this visa is a one time Entry Visa, therefore if you leave the country the visa will no longer be valid and you will have to apply for another one or enter Indonesia using a different visa type.

Steps to Get Your Single Entry Tourist Visa

Offshore Visa Application:

  1. Provide all of the requirements (travel documents, etc)

  3. Once your visa is approved by the immigration, you can use it to enter Indonesia
  4. Upon arrival to Indonesia, the foreigner will get 60 day stay permit and it’s extendable 2 times (each extension will get 60 day additional stay permit)

Frequently Asked Questions

How to stay longer than 180 days in Indonesia?

If a holder of a single-entry visa wishes to stay beyond 180 days, they may apply for a status change to another visa type (ITAS), subject to the relevant regulations.

To remain in the country past 180 days, single-entry visa holders must apply for a different visa type (ITAS), complying with all regulations.

Can I work in Indonesia using this visa?

A C1 Visa single-entry doesn’t allow you to work in Indonesia. This visa is specifically for short-term tourist and non-commercial stays.

To work in Indonesia, you must obtain a KITAS, or Limited Stay Permit Card, a specific work visa. This visa is for foreign nationals employed by an Indonesian company, provided they have a valid HPK and an IMTA work permit.

If I am visiting Indonesia for business meetings, can I still use this visa?

We would recommend using the One Time Entry Business Visa for trips or the Multiple Entry Business Visa for multiple trips.

Can I get Visa on Arrival to enter Indonesia instead?

If your nationality is on the Visa on Arrival list and you don’t mind extending your visa for another 30 days or leaving the country, then you could. Please note that this would be significantly more expensive and time consuming overall. Immigration may also stop you for questioning if you repeatedly do this and you will not be able to apply for any visa types whilst in the country.

Where can I access visa application form for the electronic visa tourist (e-visa)?

As of 2024, Indonesia has encouraged online visa application. To apply for a visa to Indonesia, you can access the form through the official Molina website at www.evisa.imigrasi.go.id, or simply reach one of our professional consultants to navigate you through a seamless visa process.
