Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation Number 34 of 2021, which was enacted last September 15, regulates the limited reopening of Indonesian visa applications. In this regulation, a visit visa on arrival (visa on arrival) as well as a visa-free visit has not yet been applied. In addition to official and diplomatic visas, now people can apply for Visit Visas and Limited Stay Visas. For people who intend to apply for an Indonesian visit visa, there are several things that need to be considered.
1. Visit Visa for Social/Cultural/Family Visiting Purposes Unopened.
“Visiting Visas have been opened, but they are still very limited. The Socio-cultural Visit Visa, which is usually used to visit relatives in Indonesia, or get married, has not been opened yet,” explained the Head of the Public Relations Subdivision, Achmad Nur Saleh, when confirmed.
2. Application for a Tourist Visit Visa must use a corporate guarantor with the type of business of a travel agency or travel agent activity.
“Another thing that must be considered, especially for citizens from 19 countries who have been allowed to apply for a tourist visit visa, is that the sponsor must be a company engaged in the tourism sector, such as a Travel Bureau. There are only two airports, namely Hang Nadim in Batam and Ngurah Rai in Denpasar. If you have entered Bali or Batam, you are not allowed to travel to other cities in Indonesia. “said Ahmad.
