New Visa Policy from Indonesia’s Immigration Department
Indonesia’s Directorate General of Immigration (DGI) introduced a novel visa policy on December 20. The policy includes 5-year Multiple-Entry visas, known as D1 and D2 visas. This initiative aims to simplify travel for foreigners visiting for business or tourism.
About the 5-Year Multiple-Entry Visas
These visas offer 60-day stays per visit, ideal for both tourism and business purposes. Notably, the standard tourist visa in Indonesia allows a 30-day stay, extendable once.
Options: D1 and D2 Visas
Starting January 2024, two types of 5-year visas are available:
D1 Visa: For tourists, allowing 60-day visits for sightseeing, visiting relatives, or attending cultural events.
D2 Visa: For business visitors, permitting 60-day stays for meetings, conferences, or negotiations, but not for full-time employment.
