Indonesia C1 Tourist Visa (formerly B211A)

C1 is Indonesia's single-entry tourist visit visa and the successor to B211A. B211A was a single-entry visitor visa index under Permenkumham 29/2021. Permenkumham 22/2023 revoked that regulation when it took effect in August 2023. The official visa list now files tourist visits under C1 and business visits under C2.

A C1 holder gets one entry and a first stay of up to 60 days, counted from the arrival date. The stay can be extended several times, to a maximum of 180 days.

• Main uses: tourism, family visits and attending meetings, conventions or exhibitions.
• Government fee: IDR 1,000,000.
• Proof of funds: a bank balance of at least $2,000.
• Sponsor: not needed by most applicants.
• Work: no paid work or sales in Indonesia.

For a longer stay tied to a job with a company abroad, Indonesia has a separate remote worker visa, E33G.

C1 covers tourism, family visits, personal development and cruise travel. Holders can also attend meetings, incentive trips, conventions and exhibitions, according to the official C1 page and the 2025 visa classification decree. The official page also allows business talks, contract signings and site visits at offices, factories and planned investment sites.

Holders may not sell goods or services, take pay from individuals or companies in Indonesia or appear as a speaker at an event. Business trips also have their own index, C2.

The official page sets no nationality limit. Three groups need an Indonesian sponsor: stateless people, holders of travel documents other than a national passport and citizens of countries on Indonesia's calling visa list. Everyone else applies without one.

Some nationalities can instead enter visa-free (index A1) or with a visa on arrival (index B1); both indices are on the official visa list.

The official C1 page lists three core documents, uploaded as electronic files:

• Passport: valid for at least six months. Other travel documents, such as emergency passports, must be valid for 12 months.
• Bank statement: the last three months, in the applicant's or sponsor's name, showing at least $2,000 or the equivalent in another currency.
• Photo: a recent color photo taken within the last year.

Stateless applicants and holders of non-national travel documents also need a re-entry permit for the country where they apply and a return or onward ticket. The page lists no other special requirements.

Embassies that accept C1 applications may ask for more. Extra items on one embassy's checklist apply only to applications filed there.

The government fee is IDR 1,000,000 for a stay of up to 60 days, according to the official C1 page. All of it is the visa fee; C1 carries no verification charge.

Payment goes through designated banks, using the billing code shown in the eVisa system after the application is filed. The page doesn't publish the fee for extending the stay.

The $2,000 bank balance is proof of living funds, not a fee. Most applicants file through their own eVisa account, so no agent is required.

Applicants need an account at evisa.imigrasi.go.id before applying, according to the official C1 page. The application can then go to Immigration online or through an Indonesian embassy or consulate.

• Online: upload the passport, bank statement and photo, then pay at a designated bank using the billing code the eVisa system issues.
• At an embassy or consulate: officers check the file, scan it, verify the payment, approve the application and print, sign and hand over the visa.
• Processing: 5 days after the fee payment is received on either route, counted in working days.

The visa must be used within 90 calendar days of issue; after that, a new application is needed. The length of stay is separate from that validity and starts on arrival.

Stay extensions are filed online through the same eVisa account.

A C1 stay lasts up to 60 days from the arrival date. Holders can extend it online through their eVisa account several times, up to 180 days in total.

C1 covers one entry, so a return trip after leaving Indonesia needs a new visa or another entry route.

The stay permit can also be converted into a limited stay permit (ITAS) when the holder meets the requirements of an ITAS category, the official page says. C1 isn't a residence route on its own.

Frequent visitors can compare the multiple-entry tourist visit visa, index D1, on the official visa list.

The official C1 page says nothing about tax, so Indonesia's general income tax rules apply to visitors.

Under tax regulation PER-23/PJ/2025, a foreigner is an Indonesian tax resident if they live in Indonesia, spend more than 183 days there within any 12-month period or are in Indonesia during a tax year with the intent to live there.

Days in that count don't have to be consecutive. A part day counts as a full day.

Tax residents are taxed on worldwide income, under Finance Minister Regulation 18/PMK.03/2021. A visitor who is also resident in a country with a tax treaty with Indonesia has that status settled under the treaty.

Repeat visitors should count every day spent in Indonesia over the past 12 months, since separate trips add up.
