Are you a musician, DJ, chef, dancer, photographer, yoga instructor, or live performer planning to showcase your talent in Bali, Jakarta, or anywhere across Indonesia?
In 2025, Indonesia provides flexible visa options tailored for short-term creative work — including the C7A, C7B, C7C single-entry visas and the new D7 multivisa. These are faster, simpler, and more affordable alternatives to the long-term Working KITAS or Entertainment Artist KITAS — especially for one-off gigs, festivals, exhibitions, or workshops.
