Visa C22A - Internship Visa (60 Days)
The C22A Academic Internship Visa is a Single-Entry Visit Stay Permit (e-Visa) specifically designed for foreign students whose overseas university program requires a compulsory, non-paid internship in Indonesia to fulfill academic credits or graduation requirements. It legitimizes the student's presence and activities related to their study program for a long-term stay. The key condition is the non-commercial nature of the activity.
Our C22A Internship Visa Service provides a dedicated solution for students and professionals seeking to undertake an internship in Indonesia. The C22A visa is a Single-Entry Visit Visa with a stay permit of up to 60 days (two months). This visa is for active students required to complete an internship as part of their overseas academic curriculum.Our service includes securing the mandatory Indonesian local sponsor/guarantor, document verification, translation support (if needed), preparation of the application package, and submission to the Directorate General of Immigration's e-Visa system. This ensures you receive your electronic visa (e-Visa) directly via email, allowing for a seamless arrival in Indonesia. Please note: This visa generally does not permit extensions.Key Characteristics & RequirementsThe visa is officially designated as Visa Kunjungan Index C22A (Single-Entry Visit Visa for Academic Internship). Its primary purpose is to carry out activities related to an unpaid internship to satisfy the academic requirements of an overseas educational program.Sponsorship for the C22A is mandatory and must come from an Indonesian legal entity (a company, institution, or government agency) that hosts the internship program.The e-Visa allows the student to enter Indonesia within 90 days from its date of issuance. The Stay Permit (ITK) is valid for a maximum of 60 consecutive days from the date of entry.Key requirements include the applicant being an active student and providing a formal letter from their home university confirming the internship is mandatory for academic credit. Furthermore, the applicant must show proof of financial self-sufficiency with a personal bank statement (last 3 months) demonstrating a minimum final balance of USD $2,000.Breakdown of Key FeaturesLegal Status for Internship: The primary benefit is providing the legal immigration basis to participate in a required academic internship in Indonesia for up to six months, protecting the student from immigration violations.Single Entry Only: This is a CRUCIAL DISTINCTION. The C22A is a Single-Entry Visa. If the holder leaves Indonesia for any reason (even a short trip), the visa is automatically voided, and they must apply for a completely new visa to re-enter the country.Non-Working Status: This is a fundamental limitation. The C22A visa strictly forbids the holder from receiving a salary, wages, or any form of compensation from the host company or any other source in Indonesia. The activity must be purely for training/academic purposes, which is a crucial distinction from a work visa.Extension Potential: The 60-day stay permit can potentially be extended twice for an additional 60 days (for a total stay of up to 180 days), subject to renewed sponsorship, approval by the local Immigration Office, and the fulfillment of a mandatory biometric session (photo and fingerprinting).Permitted Activities: The holder is permitted to conduct activities directly related to their academic internship and limited activities related to tourism or visiting friends/family, provided they comply with all Indonesian laws and immigration regulations.
