About Business KITAS
Indonesia – Business KITAS visa is intended for Georgian citizens who plan to travel to Indonesia for business purposes, but not for the purpose of employment or salary. This is a limited-term residence permit card (Kartu Izin Tinggal Terbatas) that allows you to carry out business activities, such as attending meetings, participating in conferences, conducting market research, negotiating contracts, or supervising projects. This visa does not allow you to work for an Indonesian company or receive income from Indonesian sources. If your purpose is employment, you must apply for an Indonesia – Work Permit KITAS visa.
This visa requires sponsorship from an Indonesian company or organization. A sponsor is the party that takes responsibility for your stay in Indonesia. The Indonesia – Business KITAS visa is usually issued for a period of 6 months to 1 year and can be extended while in Indonesia, making it more flexible for long-term business projects than, for example, the B211A Social/Cultural visa , which is intended for shorter visits. The validity period and maximum length of stay of this visa often coincide.
The Indonesian business KITAS visa application process differs significantly from countries such as the US or Canada , where business visas often do not require a local sponsor and focus primarily on the applicant's financial stability and ties to their home country. In Indonesia, the role of a sponsor is crucial. Also, like the Japanese business visa, the Indonesian business KITAS also requires an invitation, although the Indonesian process is more digital and often carried out through online platforms.
It is important to understand that Indonesia strictly controls its visa regime and engaging in activities with the wrong visa category can lead to deportation and a ban on future entry into the country. Therefore, if your goal is to study or work, you must definitely choose the appropriate visa category.
The application process typically involves the sponsor submitting an online application to the Indonesian Immigration Service, followed by receipt of a TELEX (visa authorization). After that, Georgian citizens can obtain an electronic visa (eVisa) or collect a visa at the Indonesian Embassy, if required. There is no Indonesian Embassy in Georgia, so applications are made online or through a regional embassy.
