Pre-Investment Visa C12 (60 to 180 Days)

Introduced under modern immigration reforms (Permenkumham No. 22/2023), the Pre-Investment Visa (Index C12) is a specialized 180-day single-entry permit engineered specifically for foreign investors evaluating business establishment, capital deployment, and corporate acquisition in Indonesia.

Unlike standard tourist or business visas, the C12 index explicitly permits high-level preparatory investment activities—including field feasibility studies, land inspections, due diligence on local assets, and notarial preliminary consultations for establishing a PT PMA. It offers a substantial initial duration of 180 days with zero requirement for frequent extensions.

Today Consultant assists prospective founders with tailored pre-investment advisory and digital lodgement into the immigration portal. Once your business incorporation parameters are finalized, our advocates facilitate a smooth onshore transition from the C12 permit into a 1-year or 2-year Investor KITAS without requiring an international visa run.
