Indonesia has announced the implementation of a new policy
that allows for 5-year multiple-entry visas for tourists and businesses.
These five-year visas, issued by the Directorate General of Immigration (DGI), allow tourists to explore the country's landscapes, do business, and experience its beauty. The strategy intends to make it easier for foreigners to travel throughout the country for both business and tourism purposes.
“This Multiple-Entry Visa offers convenience for foreigners with high
mobility… We are optimistic that with this new visa policy, there
will be more foreign nationals visiting Indonesia,” Silmy
Karim, Director General of Immigration, stated.
For foreigners visiting the nation for vacation or business,
the country introduced a new five-year multiple-entry visa. Foreigners can
select between two choices, each valid for five years, beginning in January
2024. The D1 Visa permits leisure tourists to spend up to 60 days per visit
exploring Indonesia's landscapes, dynamic towns, and rich culture, including
sightseeing, visiting friends and relatives, and attending cultural events. The
D2 Visa is designed for business travellers, allowing them to stay for up to 60
days per visit for activities such as meetings, conferences, exhibitions, and
commercial negotiations. Full-time jobs or commercial operations needing a work
permit, on the other hand, are not permitted.
Indonesia launched the online application platform for a
5-Year Multiple Entry (D1 or D2) visa, which eliminates the need for long
application forms and embassy visits. Filling out a form, uploading relevant
papers, and making a secure credit card payment are all part of the procedure.
A valid passport, a personal bank statement with a minimum amount of USD 2,000
for the previous three months, and a current colour photograph are all essential
documents. The new visa policy improves convenience, stimulates tourism and
business, and improves the visa experience, joining countries such as Australia
and Europe in providing convenient online visa applications. Exploring
Indonesia's 17,000 islands has never been easier thanks to the new D1 and D2
visas.
