If the visa holder departs Indonesia for any reason, the visa is automatically canceled, and a new offshore application is required to re-enter.Compensation is Permitted: Unlike many other visit visas, C10 visa holders are permitted to receive compensation, wages, or honoraria from the Indonesian individual or corporation that invited them, provided the payment is directly related to their role as a speaker, lecturer, or presenter at the event.Sponsorship Requirement: The application must be sponsored by a local Indonesian entity (the event organizer, company, or individual) who provides a Letter of Guarantee and an official invitation detailing the event agenda and the applicant's role.Prohibitions: Visa holders are strictly prohibited from entering into an employment relationship with any Indonesian individual or entity.
