No. The C7A Visa is only for the performing artist(s). All accompanying support personnel — such as tour managers, sound engineers, lighting technicians, videographers, stage crew, or roadies — must apply for the C7B Supporting Crew Visa. This ensures that each member of the team has the correct permit for their role during the event.
Yes. Holders of the C7A Music Performer Visa (and C7B for supporting crew) are allowed to receive payment or benefits for their performances. However, there are important restrictions: - You cannot sign or engage in any formal employment contract with an Indonesian individual or company. - You cannot be hired as an employee or perform long-term work in Indonesia. - This visa only allows short-term performance activities, such as gigs, festivals, club shows, or concerts. - For any formal employment relationship, you would need a Work Permit (RPTKA + IMTA) and a Work KITAS. Performing under the wrong visa can lead to penalties, fines, deportation, or entry bans.
No — it’s now much easier than it used to be. Since September 2023, the Indonesian government has significantly simplified the process for international performers. In the past, applying for a performer visa required: - a work permit from Immigration - police clearance - proof of at least 5 years of professional experience - extensive documentation from promoters For short-term music performance visas, these requirements no longer apply. Today, the C7A Music Performer Visa (and C7B for supporting crew) is far simpler, faster, and more accessible, making it easier for international DJs, artists, and performers to work legally in Indonesia.
No, the B211A visa no longer exists in its previous form. Indonesian Immigration has restructured the visa system and divided the former B211A category into several specific visa types, each dedicated to one clear purpose. Instead of one visa covering multiple visit reasons, there are now separate visa categories, such as: - C1 – Tourism - C2 – Business - C6 – Volunteering / social activities - ... If you previously applied for the B211A visa, you now need to choose the visa that matches your exact visit purpose. This change helps Immigration clearly identify the reason for your stay and simplifies the processing. If you're unsure which visa you need, feel free to contact us — we’ll help you choose the correct one.
That's not a problem for your visa itself — your visa remains valid based on its own 90-day entry window, as long as you still enter within that window.
In general, regular processing takes 7–10 working days. Depending on your situation and current availability, we can sometimes offer faster express processing — but this isn't guaranteed and depends on Immigration's current workload, so it isn't always bookable. Both regular and express times can shift depending on how busy Immigration currently is, so the most accurate, up-to-date processing time is always the one shown when you select your processing option on this page — check that before you book, especially if your travel date is approaching. If you're unsure or need to travel urgently, contact us and we'll tell you what's realistically possible right now.
Yes, you need both — they serve completely different purposes. Your visa (like the Visa on Arrival or C1) is your legal permission to enter and stay in Indonesia. The All Indonesia Arrival Card is a separate, digital form covering customs and health declarations that every traveler must complete, regardless of visa type, within 72 hours before arrival. Having a valid visa doesn't exempt you from the Arrival Card, and filling out the Arrival Card doesn't replace the need for a visa.
Yes. Professional sound, lighting, DJ, or stage equipment must usually be declared at Indonesian customs. Depending on the type and value of the equipment, you may need a Temporary Import Permit (TIT/TIP) to avoid paying import taxes or to ensure the equipment can legally re-exit the country. Your Indonesian sponsor or our team at Visa-Indonesia can assist you with the correct documentation so everything is cleared smoothly upon arrival.
Here are the current entry requirements for entering Indonesia (including Bali): 1. Passport (very important) To enter Indonesia, you need a passport. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months on the day of entry or on the day of visa extension. Different rules may apply to other travel documents. Without sufficient passport validity, entry will be denied. 2. Visa A visa is required to enter Indonesia. Always make sure to get the correct visa for your purposes of visit! For short trips, you can buy the Visa on Arrival directly at the airport. However, we recommend applying for the e-Visa on Arrival (eVOA) in advance to save time and avoid long queues. If you stay more than 30 days, there are even better visa options like the C1 visa. For specific visit purposes, it's best to check our visa finder or contact us. 3. Outbound (onward) ticket When checking in for your flight to Indonesia, you may be asked to show proof of a return or onward ticket. If you cannot present one, you may be denied boarding or entry. 4. All Indonesia Arrival Card Since September 1, 2025, Indonesia has introduced the All Indonesia Arrival Card — a digital form that replaces previous customs and health declarations. You can add the Arrival Card through us, or you can complete it yourself, no earlier than 72 hours before arrival. 5. Love Bali Tourist Tax (Bali only) Visitors to Bali must pay the Love Bali Tourism Tax of 150,000 IDR (approx. 10 USD / 9 EUR). Payment options: - Pay online in advance (credit cards sometimes fail), or - Pay directly at the airport upon arrival You can also find the entry requirements here: Entry Requirements Indonesia
Indonesia distinguishes between prohibited items (not allowed at all) and restricted items (allowed only under specific conditions, limits, or with a declaration). 🚫 Prohibited items (not allowed under any circumstances) You may not bring the following items into Indonesia: - Narcotics and illegal drugs - Firearms and air guns - Sharp weapons (unless declared for specific purposes) - Ammunition - Explosives or explosive materials - Pornographic materials Bringing prohibited items can lead to confiscation, fines, detention, or criminal charges. ⚠️ Restricted items (allowed with declaration, limits, or permits) These items may be brought into Indonesia, but only under certain rules: 1. Animals, fish, plants & biological products Require permits from Indonesian authorities (e.g., quarantine, health certificates). 2. Cash amounts over IDR 100,000,000 Must be declared to Customs. 3. Exciseable goods (alcohol & tobacco) Allowed only within duty-free limits. Above limits → declaration + import duty. 4. Personal goods beyond exemption limits Items exceeding the duty-free allowance must be declared and taxed. 5. Commercial goods Require customs clearance and often import permits. 6. Re-imported or temporarily imported goods May require a declaration, proof of ownership, or temporary import documentation. If you are unsure whether your item is restricted, it is always safer to declare it.
