About this visa
The B211A Social/Cultural Visa is for extended stays in Indonesia — family visits, cultural exchange, social activities. Unlike the basic visit visa, this type requires a sponsor in Indonesia (Indonesian citizen or KITAS holder) who applies on your behalf.
Who it's for: People visiting family, attending cultural events, or staying longer for social reasons. The sponsor submits the application through the immigration portal or agent. You provide documents: passport, photo, sponsor letter, sponsor ID, accommodation proof, financial proof.
How it works: Sponsor initiates application. You receive approval and e-Visa. Valid 60 days, extendable at immigration office (up to 4 extensions). Similar to Philippines and Malaysia family visit visas — sponsor involvement is key.
Key factors: Sponsor must be legitimate and have valid status. Relationship proof (marriage certificate, birth certificate, invitation letter) may be required. Sponsor letter should state purpose and duration. Fees similar to B211A Visit: IDR 1,000,000–2,500,000. Extensions: IDR 2,600,000–3,100,000.
Important: Georgia is NOT on VOA. Apply before travel. Confirm sponsor eligibility and process on evisa.imigrasi.go.id.
