Indonesia – Visa
Please note
that the visa application process and the list of required documents may change at any time. Make sure to get the latest information on Indonesian visa regulations directly from the Indonesian embassy in your home country. Getting a visa to a foreign country should never be taken for granted and cannot be guaranteed by Asia Exchange in any way. Please also refer to our terms and conditions. All students accepted to study abroad at Udayana University, Warmadewa University, and UNDIKNAS need to get a student visa. We recommend all students start the application process for the visa as soon as they get the required documents.
Applying for a student visa
In Indonesia, a student visa belongs to the Social-Cultural visa category. The Indonesian Embassy grants single-entry Social-Cultural visas to study in Indonesia (Index B221A). However, not all embassies issue Social-Cultural visas for study purposes.
With the Social-Cultural visa, you can stay a maximum of 60 days in Indonesia. The visa must be extended at the destination according to the instructions given by the host university.
Below, you will find a summary of the application process for the Social-Cultural visa and other visa options. However, please note that visa regulations may change at any time and without prior notice. Therefore, we recommend all students consult their local embassy websites for the most up-to-date information.
