Key Facts about the B211 Visa
The initial visa validity is 60 days.
You can then extend the visa 4 x for 30 days each time, so the maximum visa validity is 180 days (these days include the day you land and leave.)
Each extension needs to be applied for at least 4 business days before your visa validity expires and costs IDR 800k.
If you leave Indonesia before your visa is expired, your visa will be voided and you will have to get a new one if you wish to return to Indonesia.
For the first extension, you will need to go to the immigration office to get fingerprinted and photographed. We have an agent at the office who will meet you and guide you through the process quickly.
After the first extension, all you will need to do is give us your passport and we will manage your future extensions for you.
You cannot work in Indonesia using this visa. If you would like to know more about living and working in Indonesia, do get in touch and we’ll talk you through the options.
