Who the C2 Visa Is For
The C2 is a business visit visa. It suits founders and managers who need to be in Indonesia for a few weeks or months without working there yet, for example to:
- Meet partners, suppliers, notaries or banks before registering a PT PMA
- Negotiate and sign contracts
- Inspect factories, warehouses or production sites
- Research the market or attend business meetings in Jakarta or Bali
If you will run your company day to day, you need a stay permit instead — see the Investor KITAS service. A C2 can be converted into a stay permit only with the same sponsor, so tell us early if a KITAS is your goal.

Pakistani, Indian and UAE Travellers
- Pakistan: not eligible for Visa on Arrival, so you need an e-Visa before you fly — the C2 for one trip, the D2 for frequent trips. We apply on your behalf.
- India and the UAE: Visa on Arrival (30 days, extendable once to 60) works for short meetings and events. For negotiations, site visits or longer stays, the C2 is the better choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an Indonesia C2 business visa cost?
The official government fee is IDR 2,000,000 (about USD 111). IndoDesk's full C2 service starts from USD 120, and we confirm one all-in quote after checking your documents.
How long does the C2 visa take?
About 3–5 working days with IndoDesk. Immigration processes the visa within about 5 working days of the government fee being paid, and the approved e-Visa is emailed to you.
Is the C2 the same as the old B211A visa?
Yes. The B211A code is no longer used; its business version is now the C2 Business Visitor Visa (single entry), with the D2 as the multiple-entry option.
Can I work in Indonesia on a C2 visa?
No. You can hold meetings, negotiate, sign agreements, buy goods and inspect sites, but you cannot sell goods or services or be paid by anyone in Indonesia. Working there needs a KITAS.
Do Pakistani citizens need a C2 visa for business trips?
Yes, or a D2. Pakistani nationals are not eligible for Visa on Arrival, so an e-Visa must be approved before travel. IndoDesk files it for you with Urdu-language support.
Can a C2 visa be converted to a KITAS?
Yes, a C2 can be converted into a stay permit with the same sponsor. If your own PT PMA will sponsor an Investor KITAS, it is usually simpler to apply for that e-Visa directly once the company is registered.
