Multiple-Entry Visitor Visa for Business People Is Back
After
being closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Directorate General of
Immigration is conducting trials for reopening the multiple-entry
visitor visa (Visa Kunjungan Beberapa kali Perjalanan/VKBP) starting
from Tuesday, 22nd November 2022.
The news was announced by the
Acting Director General of Immigration Widodo Ekatjahjana in Jakarta on
Monday, 21st November 2022.
“VKBP will be tested for reopening to
support the immigration of global business people, bona fide potential
investors, and world billionaires with large capital so that they can
easily go back and forth to Indonesia. This proves that the ease of
immigration for business people with high mobility will have a
significant impact on Indonesia’s economic recovery,” Ekatjahjana
explained.
Ekatjahjana also stated that foreign business people
who apply for the VKBP are required to have a guarantor from a
corporation or company in Indonesia. The registration of VKBP is carried
out by the guarantor, either online through the visa-online.imigrasi.go.id or through Indonesian embassies abroad.
A
multiple-entry visitor visa, according to Ekatjahjana, is a type of
visa that allows foreigners to travel out and enter Indonesia within one
year. Foreigners entering Indonesia will be granted a residence permit
for 60 days each time.
“For every foreigner applying for VKBP,
there is a fee of IDR 3,000,000 per person/year; therefore, foreigners
can go back and forth to Indonesia without the need to do any additional
residence permits,” Ekatjahjana said.
He
stated that VKBP cannot be used to work in Indonesia. Foreigners
holding VKBP can do other activities, such as conducting business talks,
tours, government assignments, purchasing goods, meetings, humanitarian
reasons, and transit.
The
main requirements for VKBP registration are as follows:An official
national passport which is still valid for at least 18 (eighteen)
months;
Letter of guarantee from a guarantor;
Proof of having
living expenses for themselves and/or their family while in Indonesia in
the form of a checking account, savings book, or deposit for the last
three months owned by the foreigner or guarantor with an amount of at
least US$2,000 or equivalent;
Return ticket or onward ticket to
another country except for the crew of the conveyance who will stop over
to join the ship and continue the journey to another country; and
A recent colour photograph taken at least for the last three months with a white background.
In
addition, there are additional requirements during the COVID-19
pandemic, as follows:A statement of willingness to comply with all
health protocols in Indonesia;
Proof of having received the full dose of the COVID-19 vaccine;
Proof
of ownership of health insurance/travel insurance which includes health
financing, and/or a statement of willingness to pay independently if
contracted COVID-19 while in Indonesian Territory.
“We hope that
this immigration policy can be put to good use by foreign business
people who are going on business trips or investing in Indonesia,”
concluded Ekatjahjana.
