General Requirements for a Visitor Visa.

Please make sure you have all of the following documents to help ensure your visa application is successful.

• A completed Visa Application Form.  Click here to download.
• Your current passport – which must be valid until after your trip ends.
• Your KTP and family certificate.
• Proof of sufficient funds – min $10,000 (Rph95,000,000) – that you can financially support your trip.  This proof is a printed statement of the past 4 months from your bank account.  If you have more than one bank account, including credit card accounts, please include a similar printed statement from each one. 
• A Sponsor.  A sponsor is a family member who will support your trip.
• If you do not a bank account as stated above, your sponsor will financially support your trip.  You will need a printed statement of the past 4 months from your sponsor’s bank account, as well as your own.
• Your sponsor’s passport and KTP.
• Your sponsor’s SIUP (Surat Ijin Usaha Perusahaan) and TDP (Tanda Daftar Perusahaan) if your sponsor owns his / her own business.

• A Letter of Support from your current employer or education provider, including confirmation that leave for the requested period of the trip has been approved.  Click here to see an example letter of support.

Providing these documents help the visa application process; there is no guarantee that the visa application will be successful.  The decision is that of the Embassy of your destination country.

Important information

• After we have received your registration, confirmation, and payment, you will need to take these documents to our travel agent to start the visa application process.  While you are there, the travel agent will photocopy most of the documents and return them to you.  For those documents that the travel agent retains, you will receive a receipt.
• After the visa application process is complete, you will have to go back to the travel agent to collect your passport and your flight tickets.
• Embassies generally do not refund the Visa Application fee if the Visa Application is unsuccessful.  PT SEHAP Tours guarantees that your payment for the flight tickets, the English Course and Homestay (apart from the non-refundable Registration fees) will be refunded if the Visa Application is unsuccessful.
• We strongly recommend you keep all the above documents together in a safe place, ready to be shown to immigration upon arrival in your destination country, or at any other time, in case they are requested.
