Effective July 15, 2025, foreign nationals can apply for a limited stay visa (Vitas) to attend non-formal education in Indonesia. The policy aims to facilitate foreign nationals who want to take language courses, skill schools or professional courses to support their careers. Residence permits from visas with the E30 index can be granted for one or two years.
Applicants must have a guarantor – either an individual or a non-formal education institution. Additional requirements include a passport with a minimum validity period of six months, proof of living expenses while in Indonesia (at least equivalent to USD 2000) and a recent color passport photo.
The Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) fee for the E30 visa is IDR 6,000,000 for a one-year residence permit and IDR 8,500,000 for a two-year residence permit.
Moreover, the Directorate General of Immigration has announced that an E30A visa for primary and secondary education and an E30B visa for higher education can now be issued for a four-year period, in addition to the one- and two-year periods previously available.
The PNBP fee for E30A or E30B visa is IND 6,000,000 for one year, IND 8,500,000 for two years and IND 12,000,000 for four years.
