C1 Tourism Visa (formerly B211A)
B211A is legacy terminology. The current C1 visa is Indonesia's pre-arranged, single-entry route for longer tourism, personal development, cruises and qualifying events. It provides up to 60 days initially and extensions may allow a maximum total stay of 180 days, subject to approval. Apply through the current official process before travel and check whether your passport or travel document requires a sponsor. C1 does not permit paid work or selling goods or services for remuneration. Social or family activity that needs an Indonesian sponsor uses the separate C6 route. Leaving Indonesia ends the single-entry permission. Confirm the current fee, evidence and extension process on the official C1 page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the C1 tourism visa the same as the old B211A?
Yes. B211A is the legacy code for the pre-arranged tourist/social visa. Indonesia now issues this route as the C1 tourism visa. Applications and official guidance use the C1 category on evisa.imigrasi.go.id.
What can I do on a C1 tourism visa?
C1 covers the activities listed on the current official page, including longer tourism, personal development, cruises and qualifying events. It does not permit paid work or selling goods or services for remuneration. Sponsored social activities use C6, business visits use C2 or D2, and formal study uses an education route.
How long can I stay?
The C1 tourism visa grants 60 days on arrival and can be extended in stages up to a maximum stay of 180 days. Apply for extensions before your current stay expires, through evisa.imigrasi.go.id or a local immigration office.
Can I leave and re-enter Indonesia on a C1 tourism visa?
No — the C1 tourism visa is single-entry. If you leave Indonesia, the visa is considered used and you would need to apply for a new visa to return.
What happens if my application is rejected?
Approval is never guaranteed. Follow the official notification and review process shown for your application, and do not make non-refundable travel decisions around an assumed approval date.
Is the C1 tourism visa available for all nationalities?
Do not rely on a static nationality claim. Check your passport and travel-document requirements in the official visa-selection process, including whether a sponsor or a different application channel is required.
