International travel for business in Indonesia requires a business visa, an official document granted by the Immigration Office in Indonesia, as permission to visit Indonesia for business purposes. According to Article 38 of the immigration: A business visit visa is a visa granted to foreigners, who are going to travel into Indonesia for the performance or participation of the following such as government tasks; social or cultural, educational activities; tourism; business, or family affairs; continued travelling to another country.

A business visa holder is allowed to stay in Indonesia for up to 60 days. There are two main types of business visa: single and multiple-entry. While a single-entry business visa means that the holder must apply for a new visa after the current one expires, a multiple-entry business visa does not limit the number of stays in the country per year.
