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.
