As mentioned in Indonesia’s laws and regulations, visa and stay permit are two different things, meaning that once you get visa does not mean that you are eligible to stay in Indonesia. For example, a person gets a Student Visa. When he/she reaches Indonesia has only 30 days to change the visa into a temporary stay permit. This information will be explained more in the stay permit section below.
Meanwhile, Indonesia has only 4 types of visa, which are:
DIPLOMATIC VISA
SERVICE VISA
LIMITED STAY VISA, and
VISIT VISA
International Students who plan to study (6-month student exchange, Bachelor, Master or Doctoral) must obtain Limited Stay Visa for Education Purposes or shortly called Student Visa (Indexed C316). This type of visa allows you to stay in Indonesia from 3 months to 2 years (per period). International Students who are using other types of Visa are prohibited.
