Frequently Asked Questions
Can I work in Indonesia on a D2 business visa?
No. The D2 is for non-employment business activities such as meetings, negotiations and supplier visits. It allows repeated trips for legitimate business purposes but does not permit local employment. If you plan to live in Indonesia and run your own PT PMA, the E28A Investor KITAS is the relevant permit.
How long can I stay in Indonesia on each D2 visit?
Each stay is generally limited to 60 days and can be extended in-country. The visa itself is issued for one, two or five years and allows multiple entries during that period, which suits executives, buyers, auditors and partners who visit often. ILA confirms the current requirements before you apply.
Can my own company sponsor my D2 visa?
Yes. The sponsor or guarantor can be an Indonesian company or your own sponsoring entity. You will also need evidence of meetings, negotiations or business relationships, a passport with at least 18 months' validity and bank statements showing sufficient funds. ILA compiles and checks the documents and arranges sponsorship where needed.
Should I choose a D2 or a C2 business visa?
The C2 covers one business visit of up to 60 days, so it suits a one-off trip. The D2 is multiple-entry and valid for one, two or five years, so it suits people who travel to Indonesia for business frequently. If your trips are to prepare an investment, the D12 pre-investment visa is the related option.
