Visas for artists, musicians, athletes, speakers, exhibitors, industrial specialists, interns and international project teams. Flado Indonesia helps companies, event organizers, schools and other host institutions select the appropriate Indonesian visa, prepare sponsor documentation and coordinate individual or group applications.
Whether your event is in Bali, Jakarta or elsewhere in Indonesia, our team can manage the immigration workflow from sponsor-account setup to e-Visa delivery. We provide all-inclusive Flado visa prices rather than displaying government fees and agency charges separately.
Who These Indonesia Visas Are For
- Arts and entertainment: musicians, DJs, performers, actors, dancers, stage crews and event technicians.
- Sports and competitions: athletes, coaches, team managers and tournament officials.
- Conferences, exhibitions and public appearances: guest speakers, lecturers, presenters, public figures, exhibitors and trade-fair teams.
- Industrial and corporate assignments: technology consultants, auditors, quality-control teams, after-sales specialists and machinery technicians.
- Educational and institutional programs: academic interns, company trainees and approved short-term professional placements.
- Other specific visits: vessel joining and participation in legal proceedings.
The visa index depends on the actual activities, host organization, visit duration and any compensation arrangements. A C-type visit visa is not an unrestricted work permit; ongoing employment or activities outside the chosen visa scope may require an appropriate Work KITAS instead.
Specialized Visa Categories: C7 to C22B
The table covers the specialized categories presented in our original service guide, with relevant C7C and C22 options added for completeness. It is a selected service list, not every C-type visa issued by Indonesia.

Visa Validity, Stay Length and Extensions
- C7A, C7B and C7C: generally a 30-day single-entry stay without an extension option.
- C8A, C8B, C10, C11, C13, C16, C17, C19, C20 and C21: typically 60 days on initial entry; extensions may be available according to the visa index and individual circumstances.
- C18: a 90-day work-trial category that is generally not extendable as the same visit permit.
- C22, C22A and C22B: short-stay and longer-stay internship options may be available, including 60-day and 180-day initial-stay arrangements, with different extension rules.
Single-entry means the visa is used for one entry; leaving Indonesia generally ends the underlying stay permission. The entry deadline shown on an approved visa is separate from the permitted stay after arrival. We confirm the applicable duration and any extension strategy before processing. For eligible onshore cases, see our Bridging Visa information.
Who Can Sponsor or Host Foreign Participants?
For corporate, event and institution-led applications, the Indonesian host commonly serves as the responsible organization. Depending on the visa index and filing route, it may need a registered immigration sponsor account and supporting documentation. The requirement is visa-specific; it is not accurate to assume every C7–C22B application follows an identical sponsorship procedure.
- An Indonesian company, including a PT or PT PMA.
- A school, university, educational institution or registered foundation.
- A qualifying committee, conference organizer, promoter or other legally established event organizer.
If your company is inviting overseas performers, delegates, employees or trainees, Flado can assist with eligible sponsor-account registration and coordinate the applications. An individual applicant can contact us first, but we may need to work with the actual Indonesian organizer, employer or educational institution before filing.
Sponsor Account Registration: Documents and Fee
For a new immigration sponsor account, we normally request the following information and corporate documents, subject to the current registration process:
- Company or organization letterhead.
- Surat Permohonan Registrasi Akun, signed with the required materai and company stamp where applicable; Flado provides the template.
- Guarantee Letter or sponsorship undertaking for each applicant when required for their visa filing.
- Official company email address and telephone number.
- Registered company address.
- Corporate documents: Akta, NIB, SIUP (where applicable) and other registration or tax documents requested for verification.
- KTP or passport and a photograph of the company director or authorized responsible person.
Flado sponsor-account setup service: IDR 1,500,000 as a one-time registration for a new eligible organization. We may waive this setup fee when the organization processes visa applications through Flado, subject to the agreed arrangement. Account maintenance, corrections or new documentation requirements are assessed separately where applicable.
Documents Required From Each Participant
The standard initial checklist is intentionally simple:
- Passport bio-data page, with at least six months of remaining validity at the relevant travel or application stage (longer validity may be required in some cases).
- Recent color photograph with a clear, light background and compliant facial visibility; glasses and headwear should follow the applicable photo requirements.
Depending on the visa type, Flado may also ask the organizer or participant for an invitation letter, event schedule, contract or assignment letter, proof of affiliation, internship agreement, venue details or other activity-specific evidence. We will provide an exact checklist after reviewing the case.
Application Process With Flado
- Share the project details. Tell us the visa purpose, participant count, nationality, location, planned dates and host organization.
- Confirm the visa category. We assess the intended activity and whether a sponsor account or other permission is necessary.
- Register or verify the host. The company provides sponsor documentation where required, and Flado helps with registration or validation.
- Prepare and submit applications. We assemble the files, review participant documents and submit each eligible visa request.
- Receive approved e-Visas. Issued visas are delivered by email or through the agreed corporate workflow, with entry guidance.
Typical processing: standard submissions are often estimated at approximately 5–10 working days after a complete application is accepted; some organizer-led cases take around 7–10 working days or longer. Priority handling is available for certain categories. Immigration review, sponsor onboarding and additional document requests can affect timing, so issuance is never guaranteed for a fixed date.

For current Flado service packages, see our prices. For the general C7 arts category or any unusual itinerary, please request an individual quote.
Corporate and Group Visa Processing
For conferences, international tours, sports competitions, trade fairs and industrial projects, we can coordinate multiple applications under an agreed schedule. The host organization provides the participant list and event or project paperwork, while Flado assists with document checks, sponsor setup, application tracking and e-Visa delivery. A single corporate contact can coordinate the whole group.
We can also structure a service agreement with the Indonesian host or organizer to define the responsibilities, document workflow, pricing and scope of visa assistance before processing begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can an individual apply without an Indonesian company sponsor?
It depends on the exact visa index and filing route. For many organized events, corporate assignments and internships, the Indonesian host must supply official documentation and may need a registered sponsor account. Contact us with the activity details and we will confirm the correct process.
Can foreign performers receive payment in Indonesia?
Some artist and performance-specific visa categories permit compensation associated with the approved activity. This does not mean every C-type visit visa authorizes employment or unrestricted paid work. We check the contract, activities and correct visa index before submission.
Is sponsor registration needed for every participant?
Normally, an eligible organization registers its sponsor account once rather than opening a separate account for every guest. Each participant still has an individual visa application and may need a separate guarantee or invitation document. Existing accounts may require updated information.
Can all specialized visas be extended?
No. For example, C7A–C7C and C18 have different stay and extension rules from many 60-day C visas. Internship categories also have different duration options. We review any extension or onshore transition before making commitments.
Can Flado manage visas for a whole concert, tournament or conference?
Yes. We can coordinate a group participant list, host documentation, visa-type selection, submissions and delivery. The organizer remains responsible for accurate event information and any permissions that fall outside the visa application itself.
Request a Specialized Visa or Sponsor Registration
To receive a quotation, send us the visa activity, desired travel dates, number of participants, nationality or nationalities and the Indonesian host organization.
