C6 Social and Family Visit Visa

C6 is the single-entry route for qualifying social, cultural and family visits in Indonesia. It is distinct from tourism and from the spouse limited-stay route: the current official C6 page sets the permitted activities, sponsor conditions, initial stay, extension options and document checklist. A family relationship or invitation does not make paid work permissible. Confirm the exact activity and sponsor evidence with the official C6 route before travelling, particularly if a programme includes volunteering, performances, training or any benefit in return for services.

How to apply

  1. Confirm the current official route: Open the official C6 page and confirm that your activity, passport and intended stay match the current description before making travel commitments.
  2. Prepare the current checklist: Collect the passport, photograph and supporting evidence requested in the current eVisa flow. Coordinate with the Indonesian sponsor or host early so their required documents match the current C6 checklist.
  3. Apply through the official channel: Use evisa.imigrasi.go.id or the application channel shown on the official route page. A sponsor may need to initiate or support the application where the route requires one.
  4. Follow the decision and border instructions: Pay only the government fee shown in the official flow, respond to any request for evidence, and travel only after you receive the required approval.
  5. Keep the route conditions during your stay: Follow the approved activity, entry pattern, stay limit and reporting obligations. Ask Immigration before extending, changing status or starting a different activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What activities fit the C6 route?

C6 covers the social, cultural and family activities listed on the current official page. Match your exact visit to that description rather than treating C6 as a general long-stay visa.

Does C6 require a sponsor?

The official C6 flow may require an Indonesian sponsor or guarantor and supporting relationship or invitation evidence. Verify the current checklist for your circumstances.

Can I work on C6?

No. C6 is not employment permission. Paid work, services or other activity outside the approved social or family purpose need the correct official route.

Can C6 be extended?

Extension availability and process are controlled by the current C6 rules and your approval. Start any official process before the permitted stay ends.
