C12 Pre-Investment Visa - Who is it for and what are the benefits
Indonesia welcomes foreign investors with the Single Entry Pre-Investment Visa, designed for individuals who wish to explore business opportunities before making a financial commitment. This visa allows for an initial stay of 180 days (6 months), providing ample time to conduct market research, network with potential partners, and assess the investment landscape.
Key Features:
- 180-Day Stay: Upon arrival in Indonesia, the visa automatically grants a 180-day stay period.

- Meeting with potential partners or investors.
- Attending conferences or exhibitions related to your business interest.
- Handling basic administrative tasks with local organizations.
It is not intended for active business operations like selling goods or services, receiving payments, or setting up a company. If you intend to conduct business, you would need a different visa, such as a Business Visa.

Can I exit Indonesia and re-enter using the same visa?
No, the Single Entry Pre-Investment Visa allows only one entry into Indonesia. Once you leave the country, the visa is no longer valid, even if it hasn’t reached its 180-day expiry date. If you need to exit and re-enter, you would need to apply for a new visa.
