Business Visa (D2)
The Multiple Entry Business Visa (D2) is the ultimate travel tool for executives, consultants, and international partners. If your business requires you to fly in and out of Jakarta, Bali, or other Indonesian commercial hubs frequently, this visa removes the friction of applying for a new permit every single trip.
Business Visa D2: Seamless Corporate Travel to Indonesia
Agility for the modern executive. The D2 Business Visa is tailored for foreign nationals who need to visit Indonesia frequently for high-level corporate activities. Whether you are flying in to negotiate a major contract, attend industry conferences, or conduct on-the-ground market research, the D2 provides the flexibility to enter and exit the country at the speed of business.
With options for 1, 2, or up to 5 years of validity, this visa ensures you are always ready to board a flight when an opportunity arises in Southeast Asia’s largest market.
Why the D2 is the Executive's Choice
For frequent travelers, applying for a single-entry visa for every trip is a logistical nightmare. The D2 offers unparalleled convenience:
The “Drop-In” Advantage: Fly into Indonesia on a moment’s notice to close a deal or attend a board meeting without waiting for visa approvals.
No Local Guarantor: Unlike many other Indonesian visas, the D2 does not require you to have an Indonesian company act as your sponsor, giving you total independence.
Long-Term Validity: Choose a 5-year validity and secure half a decade of hassle-free corporate travel.
Cost-Effective: Pay once for the multi-year visa instead of paying single-entry application fees multiple times a year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get paid by an Indonesian client while on a D2 Visa?
No. The D2 Visa strictly prohibits taking up formal employment or earning a salary from an Indonesian entity. It is designed for activities like negotiating, auditing, or attending meetings where your primary income remains sourced outside of Indonesia.
What is the difference between "Visa Validity" and "Stay Period"?
“Visa Validity” (1, 2, or 5 years) is the timeframe during which you can use the visa to enter the country. The “Stay Period” is the maximum amount of time you can remain in Indonesia on any single trip, which is capped at 60 days per entry.
How do I reset my 60-day stay period?
Because the D2 is a Multiple Entry visa, the simplest way to reset your 60-day clock is to leave Indonesia (for example, a short flight to Singapore or Kuala Lumpur) and re-enter. Your 60 days will reset upon your new arrival.
Do I absolutely need a sponsor?
For the vast majority of international applicants, no local sponsor is required. You effectively sponsor yourself by proving your financial solvency (the $2,000 minimum bank balance). Only applicants from specific “Calling Visa” nations require a registered Indonesian corporate guarantor.
Which validity option should I choose (1, 2, or 5 years)?
This depends primarily on your passport’s expiration date. Immigration will not issue a 5-year visa on a passport that expires in 2 years. If you have a freshly renewed passport and travel to Indonesia more than 3 times a year, the 5-year option offers the best return on investment.
Can I use the D2 Visa to attend exhibitions or trade shows?
Yes, attending trade shows, industry exhibitions, and professional conferences is completely legal and encouraged under the D2 visa category, provided you are attending as a representative/buyer and not working as local event staff.
