Who Needs a Business Visa?
All Indian passport holders traveling to Indonesia for official meetings, technical discussions, exhibitions, or conferences must obtain a Business Visa prior to entry. This visa only permits non-remunerative business activities and is not valid for employment or long-term assignments.
BTW Visa Tip: If your visit involves company sponsorship, ensure the invitation is issued by a registered Indonesian entity and approved by the Directorate General of Immigration.
