Indonesia is introducing five-year multiple-entry visas with indexes D1 for tourists and D2 for business purposes. The Bali Sun reported today that both types of permits allow entry into the country for up to 60 days.
The head of the immigration service noted that applications will begin to be accepted online from January 2024 and foreigners will no longer need to visit Indonesian missions abroad. The cost of the new visa is 15 million Indonesian rupiah, which is equivalent to 36 000 UAH, However, there is no clarification yet on how often these two-month periods can be used.
One of the main conditions for acquiring a multiple-entry visa is an invitation from the Indonesian side. The publication assumes that visa agents will aid tourists in this case and will begin advertising support for applying type D1. And he advises you to be careful: fraudulent schemes are possible.
A new 5-year visa is issued through the online service of the immigration department, which also provides a standard visa permit for entry up to 30 days. The applicant must have a passport with at least 6 months of validity and a recent color photograph. Financial solvency will be confirmed by a certificate of at least 2 thousand dollars or an equivalent amount in other currencies.
A standard tourist visa for a month can be purchased upon arrival at the airport in Bali or Jakarta, its cost is about 1200 UAH.
