Can I create and post content while on a C5A visa?
Yes — the C5A is built precisely for content creators. You can film, edit and publish, provided your income comes from outside Indonesia rather than from a local employer or client. We confirm the boundaries for your exact situation during your consultation.
Can I work remotely for a foreign company?
Generally yes. Remote work for overseas clients or employers is the core use-case for the C5A and the E33G Digital Nomad KITAS. We’ll advise which fits your contract and stay length.
What can I not do on these visas?
You cannot take paid employment from an Indonesian company or earn local-sourced income. If your plans change toward investing or running a local business, we can move you to an Investor KITAS.
What documents do I need?
Usually a passport valid at least six months, a recent photo, proof of funds or income and your purpose of stay. You’ll receive a personalised checklist so nothing is missing.
Do I need a return ticket?
Some visa categories require evidence of onward or return travel. We tell you up front whether yours does, so there are no surprises at the airport.
Do you provide the sponsor?
Yes. As licensed facilitators we arrange the required Indonesian sponsorship as part of our service.
How long does processing take?
Standard processing is generally around 3–10 business days once your documents are complete. Express handling is available if you’re short on time.
Can I start before arriving in Bali?
Absolutely. Most of the process is digital, so you can begin from home and land ready.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the visa, your nationality and processing speed. C5A applications start from USD 449; other permits range from a few million rupiah to premium residence options. You always receive a transparent, all-in quote before anything is filed.
Are government fees included?
Your personalised quote clearly separates our service fee from official government and sponsor fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Can my visa be extended?
Many visas can. A 60-day visit, for example, can typically be extended once for another 60 days. We manage the paperwork so you never risk an overstay.
What is changing in 2026?
Indonesia continues to modernise its immigration system, including biometric and digital-process updates. We track every change so your application is always filed against the current rules — see our C5A in 2026 page for details.
