Visit Visa (C1/C2)
A single-entry visa arranged before travel, for stays longer than Visa on Arrival allows or nationalities off the VoA list.
The facts, not the fine print.
What it actually is.
A single-entry visa applied for before travelling to Indonesia. C1 covers general visits including tourism, family, and social purposes. C2 is oriented toward specific business or professional purposes that do not fit as multiple-entry travel. It is the route for people whose nationality is not eligible for Visa on Arrival, or whose stay needs to run longer than the sixty days a VoA allows.
Nationals of countries not covered by Visa on Arrival
Longer single visits up to 60 days, extendable to 180 in specific cases
Family or social visits where a business justification is not required
Where the line sits.
It lets you
Stay in Indonesia for up to 60 days on a single entry, with defined extension paths

It does not let you
Re-enter Indonesia on the same visa after departing. Single entry only
Work, take up employment, or receive local salary of any kind
Stay beyond 180 days in total. Past that the visit route is exhausted and a different visa is needed

Confirm eligibility
Check whether your nationality and purpose actually need C1 or C2 rather than VoA or a multiple-entry business route.
Prepare and file
Assemble the purpose-specific documents and application, submit through the immigration portal.
Issuance and entry
Receive the e-Visa and walk through what to expect at your entry point.
Extension or transition
Plan an in-country extension if the visit runs longer, or transition to a KITAS in-country through a bridging visa if the stay becomes residency.
If this isn't the one.
Multiple Entry Business Visa (D1/D2)
If the visit becomes recurring rather than one-off.
