Hi! Just a little addition to the video. We just wanted to point out that visa regulations are continuously changing. While editing this video, we heard that the Indonesian immigration is enforcing the requirements for certain visas, such as the B211. So make sure you arrange it all correctly to avoid getting deported, which can happen if you conduct activities such as actively working within Indonesia when this is not allowed on the type of visa you were granted. Many thanks for watching our video and feel free to leave a comment if you would like to share your ideas or questions about visas for Indonesia.

I’m glad Indonesia has strict immigration rules, even though I was thinking about living there one day
They may seem strict but if you have the finance, it makes things a lot easier.😉 Thanks for commenting!
WOWWW such an authoritative video! Thanks for that Matt & Monico!
Shall rummage through your official website and get in direct touch with you as I am interested in one of the proposed visa residence permits in this lovely country.
New Sub from Lebanon. Cheers for now!
Hi! Thank you for your lovely feedback. Have a great day! Matt and Monico
You too mate :)@@makethemove101
Great and educative information, thanks.
However, I have a question, I just got a “Product Procurement” (B211-A) visa to Indonesia, visa process was done by a lawyer in the Indonesia and I’m hoping to visit in 2 weeks time.
1. I am hoping to know if it’s possible for me to enter from a different airport, as I’m closer to Medan, but the address on my visa is Jakarta.
2. What would be the likely questions asked at the immigration check point?
Thank you for your assistance😊
Hi we are happy to hear you found the information in our video useful. To be very honest, we are not 100% sure if you can enter from a different airport then stated on your visa. But from our experience we would say it is possible. We once entered Jakarta but our sponsor was living in Medan. And I know that visa agencies in let say Bali can arrange your visa but you can enter in Jakarta. To be on the safe side, you can always contact the Indonesian Embassy located in the country you are staying now. Hope we have been of some help! Enjoy your stay in Indonesia. Matt and Monico
Looks like Indonesia remains difficult in the visa domain.
Yes true, and not to mention the fact that visa requirements and types change often as well. It is a popular topic to discuss among expats 😉
Hey there Matt and Monico, I hope you both are doing well and good. A little introduction of myself is that I'm 18 years old, living in Pakistan and studying till 12th grade so far. So the thing is that I'm in love with an Indonesian Girl. I genuinely love her and wanna marry her. I want to go there but I don't know which visa is better for me. Could you please guide me through this situation? I'll wait for your response, Kindly do reply :)
Hi there! Thanks for reaching out and it's wonderful to hear that you met a lovely Indonesian girl. We checked if you can obtain a visa upon arrival in Indonesia with a Pakistani nationality. Unfortunately, you can not. So you will need to contact an Indonesian Embassy or a Visa Agent in Indonesia (online) who can arrange a B211 visa. This visa is extendable and you can stay in Indonesia for at least 6 months. From there on you can check what or options are. There are more possibilities if you were to get married. But we guess you will check that out once there and whether or not that is an option. Good luck! Matt and Monico
Thanks Alot for your response!
Am an American
We did a video on retirement visas in South East Asia, Indonesia included. Maybe this is helpful for you too: th-cam.com/video/imvVvGWwKko/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the video!! What if I am married to Indonesian and want to retire in Indonesia, what other visa(s) are available for me besides the second home visa ( which requires US$130k ) ? Thanks again!
@hartonotai Hi! Thank you for your comment. If you are married to an Indonesian who still holds an Indonesian passport then you can go for the spouse visa, also known as a spouse-sponsor visa. The Indonesian embassy should be able to help you out and if you are in Indonesia already there are lots of visa agencies that can make the whole process much easier. Thanks again for watching the video! Cheers, Matt and Monico
@@makethemove101 Thank you.
@@HT_LBC your welcome! Good luck with the visa process
I was hoping you would cover the permanent visa like retirement visa. I will check with a consultant.
Hi, thank you for your comment. The retirement visa is considered a KITAS, so it is a temporary resident visa. You can only apply for a permanent visa after extending it for 5 consecutive years. I do believe that you need to arrange a visa agency to act as a sponsor in order to get a retirement visa. So this visa consultant can give you all the requirements and exact details for a retirement visa. We also heard that they will be changing the retirement visa into a 'second-home' visa. Not sure if this has happened already, so you might need to check that out too. Hope we have been of some help. Cheers! Matt and Monico
@@makethemove101 I checked with a few consultants and I'm getting different answers on government policies and very different prices. I'm one year shy of 55 so I have some time before applying for the retirement visa. Looks I will do the 60 day visa and just renew for one year. But ultimately I want citizenship which I hear I can do in 5 years, this means giving up my American citizenship but I'm okay with that. The big issue now is that i just got a bengal cat and I'm hearing that will take 6 months to get approval but my Vietnam visa will expire again next month so now I have to leave my cat in Vietnam which sucks. Also cost to ship my motorcycle appears to be not be worth it which also sucks and I will have to take a loss on this new bike. Bottom line is that I need a home and a place I know I can stay forever with no more visas.
Hi Michael, if I'm not wrong....if you get a permanent visa for Indonesia, this doesn't mean you will also hold an Indonesian passport. You will still hold your American citizenship unless you choose otherwise. But just don't forget that traveling with an Indonesian passport is a pain. You will be applying for visa's even more. But I think, no matter where you move, you will be dealing with visa's for a while. We will be focusing on Malaysia soon, so not sure how their visa policies are. I have an idea that they are more clear. Perhaps an idea for you? You might have less trouble with bringing your cat and motorcycle. I can imagine that it would be difficult to leave them both behind. Good luck on figuring things out. Monico
@@makethemove101 I will have to give up USA citizenship. Happy to do that.
@@makethemove101 I will have 6 years to figure this out
I booked a month in Batam and I think it’s 29 days too long. Yeesh.
We've never been to Batam. I know that many Singaporeans like to go there for a weekend trip. Have fun! And thank you for your comment! Cheers, Matt and Monico
@@makethemove101 it’s like a less fun version of Tijuana. You could spend a day here and never want to come back in your lifetime. It’s so god awful boring.
@@jerrymylove1754Hahaha I had no idea, perhaps that's why it never came up. Hope you survive your stay in Batam 🙃
Hello! Thanks for providing the information. A little bit out of topic and if you don't mind me asking, do you guys know the regulations about vaccination and insurance requirements to enter Indonesia? We are from Hungary and it's said that we need to be vaccinated at least 14 days before the departure date. What does that really mean? I mean, so, if we got our shot a month before we depart, it's not valid and we need to be vaccinated again? Secondly, we are required to have the "proof of ownership of health insurance which includes financing of COVID-19 and medical evacuation to a referral hospital" to apply for a VoA. Do you guys know any information where we can get such insurance? Thanks a bunch in advance! Wish you a nice stay in Indonesia! 😄
Hi Elsa, thank you for contacting us. Regulations, especially those concerning COVID-19 and vaccinations change continuously so we can not say for 100% sure if our answer is current. But so far we know that if you are holding an Hungarian passport you can purchase a VOA at the airport in Indonesia. As for vaccinations, if you read that you have to be vaccinated at least 14 days before departure, then it means that you should have been vaccinated anytime before those 2 weeks. So for example if you got vaccinated a month before departure then you are ok. As long was it wasn't within those 14 days before departure (so not like 8 days before you leave....). As for health insurance, we can not find such a regulation. But I can imagine that if you have a good travel insurance then this should be enough. You can always call the Indonesian embassy in Hungary to double check before leaving. We hope have helped you out and thanks for watching our video! Cheers, Matt and Monico
@@makethemove101 Hello there Matt and Monico, thanks a lot for your reply. We are still having doubts about the vaccinations coz tbh we got our second dose of AZ in 2021 instead of a month ago lol so dunno if they will consider it obsolete or not, but we have contacted the embassy and the immigration office. Hopefully they'll answer soon. Many thanks for your time explaining all of that! 🤩
@@elsa8834 Glad we could be of some help. If you had your second dose in 2021 then it should be ok, as it is longer then a month ago. Hope the embassy and immigration will provide more info! Enjoy your day! Matt and Monico
hi can i ask a question?my father is a Filipino and have Indonesian wife and 2 kids he is now senior citizen. what is the fastest way for him to get there?what is the best visa for low budget?he wants to live there permanently. and also where he shoud apply for visa?here in Philippines or Indonesia?im so sorry for so many questions we really don't have any idea about this. im looking forward for your response. thank you.
Hi thank you for your question. Visa is so complicated, it all depends on various factors. Is your fathers wife still Indonesian (still have a Indonesian passport)? We can imagine that your father can enter on a dependent visa if they are married long enough. Kids should be able to join to. They can apply at an Indonesian embassy in the Philippines but also once they are in Indonesia. To be on the safe side, check the embassy in the Philippines to know which documents you exactly need. You can always apply for an extendable social visa in the Philippines and arrange the dependent visa once you are in Indonesia. Hope we have clarified it. Let us know if you need more info! Have a good day! Matt and Monico
@@makethemove101 thank you so much for your response. We will visit the Indonesian embassy here. Thank you ❣️
@@josephinepaulamateo6029 Hope your father will get his visa in no time! Good luck with the visa process.
@@makethemove101 thank you ❣️
Hi what is the name of your cousins visa agency? Thanks
You can find them at gayabalivisa.com/ Are you considering moving to Bali? Curious about your plans! Matt and Monico
Hi - I’m considering Jakarta as I’ve been there before but just on short visits. I speak a bit of bahasa Indonesian and am studying now. I’m considering Jakarta - around hublife. I have an Airbnb for 2 weeks in January. I’ll try and negotiate with the owner for a year contract ( $1000+/-?) if I like the apartment. But the whole visa process is a little unsettling. I’ll contact your cousin when I get into Jakarta in January and see what he/she says. Good luck on your adventures too. I’m retired and did live in Hong Kong and Shanghai for 15 years so I do know asia well. Cheers!
@@arnemcradu6499 visa is always a difficult process if you want to live longterm in a country. I hope my cousin can help you out. She is mostly focused on visa procedures in Bali but there is a chance that she has a contact in Jakarta or can help you out too. Good luck! Monico
Thanks for your reply. You too seem like such a nice couple. Best of luck.
My question is this .I m married with indonesian lady.n9w I renew my kitas 2nd time.my country in pakistan originally. Question can I apply visit visa south korea.or can apply after kitab or PR
Hi, thanks for you question. If we got it right, you have a KITAS and you want to apply for a visit visa for South Korea? We can't see why did isn't possible. These are two different types of visa: temporary residency visa for Indonesia and a visit visa for South Korea. To be on the safe side, you can contact both embassies in the country you are residing in now. Cheers, Matt and Monico
A quick question on Foreign Investor Visa - C314, can i use the Rp 10b for villa investment say for example, I get a condo in JKT, to sustain my investment value thru my private company in Indonesia? Thx
Hi Andy, thank you for reaching out in the comment section. I would think that it would be possible, but to be 100% sure you should contact any visa agency in Indonesia. They know exactly everything in detail. You can email them, they are very willing to help out. Matt and Monico
Am 69 can I get a retirement visa for Indonesia?
Hi, thank you for your comment/question. Yes you can apply for a retirement visa. There is a 1 year and a 5 year retirement visa for Indonesia: The main requirements are: you must be 60 years or older, have proof of a monthly income of USD3.000 or USD36.000 a year, for the 5 year visa you need to open a state owned bank account with a savings of USD50.000. Hope this give you more insight on your possibilities. Cheers, Matt and Monico
Can you please recommend me a good immigration lawyer
We haven't had any experience with an immigration lawyer, but you can have a look at this website: lawzana.com/immigration-lawyers/jakarta
Quick question:
I have a lot of experience in hospitality managment industry. Is the employer taking care of the work visa or my self?
Thanks for reaching out. From what we know the company will hire you first and they will need to arrange a working visa before you can actually start working. If the company is familiar with hiring foreign employees then they should know all the procedures.
As a Nigerian do I need Visa on arrival to visit Indonesia?
Hi! Good question. We doubled checked and unfortunately Nigeria isn't on the list of countries that can obtain a visa upon arrival in Indonesia. You will need to contact the Indonesian embassy to arrange a visa before flying to Indonesia. We hope our info has been helpful! Matt and Monico
@@makethemove101 thank you for your response
Can i find a work without a degree ... ?
Hi, it all depends on what type of work you will be doing. You will only get a working visa if you do a type of job that can not be done by an Indonesian. Usually, these are pretty specialized jobs. Or you can work for an international company that sends you to Indonesia to work. We can't really think of any other ways to work in Indonesia, to be honest. Cheers, Matt and Monico
B211 explanation a bit confusing.
Sorry to hear. Let us know what you find confusing or if you have any questions. Maybe we can help you out. Cheers! Matt and Monico
We still don't know how to arrange my visa. We live in Belgium and we are going to Indonesia for 6 months. Not a problem for my Indonesian wife and our 18y son (who has dual nationalitiy). But for me???? Family reunion is not possible because my wife needs a domicile for at least six months in Indonesia. So we don't know?
Hi Pat, thanks for reaching out. Wouldn't you be able to arrange a social budaya visa? You will need a sponser, such a family member of your wife's side. You are able to stay 6 months. Did you contact the Indonesian embassy already in Belgium? Let us know if we didn't fully answer your question. Cheers! Monico and Matt
@@makethemove101 This is what I found. "The maximum period of Social and Cultural Visa that can be granted by the Embassy is 60 (sixty) days". And later on they state "Note: if a longer period of stay for this visit is needed, the company/institution in Indonesia who sponsors for the applicant must submit the application through Immigration Office in Indonesia. Once approved by the Immigration Office, the applicant then need to visit the Embassy to collect the visa and provide all the requirements as mentioned above, plus a copy of Approval Letter from the Immigration Office."
So I leave Belgium with a 60day visa and once in Indonesia we have to go to the immigration.
@@patjuss Yes that is correct. That is what we did when living in Bogor. We would go to the immigration in Jakarta. It is a simple process. You can also arrange it through a visa agent. They will be your sponsor and even go to the immigration for you etc. so you don't have to worry about any paperwork.
@@makethemove101 I have to call the embassy anyway because they don't mention this visa on their website :(
Did it work out?
I need visa sir
Hi, perhaps it would help to know what your intentions in Indonesia are first, then you can decide what visa you will need. Are you staying for a short visit? Do you wish to stay longer? Do you want to work there? These questions are really important to know what type of visa you need. Hope this helps! Matt and Monico
I need visit visa sir because I have girlfriend in Indonesia I am meet with she and marriage with she sir
@@behzadali6590 First time indonesia? Best to get a B211 visa, you can stay max 60 days and once married you are eligible for a KITAS, which you should arrange at the immigration
