Visiting Lecturers, Presenters & Academic Guests
Pre-arrival Visit Visa options (sponsored by UNY as guarantor) and Visa on Arrival comparison for visiting scholars, conference participants, guest speakers, and short-course guests.
Critical Legal Distinction: Attending vs. Speaking or Receiving Honoraria
Although a B1 Visa on Arrival (VoA) or C1 Visit Visa authorizes attending meetings, conventions, seminars, and exhibitions as a participant, Indonesian immigration provisions strictly prohibit B1 and C1 holders from selling goods/services or receiving compensation/wages from Indonesian entities — and C1 expressly prohibits serving as a speaker at events (dilarang mengisi acara sebagai Pembicara).
To eliminate compliance risks or disputes over whether a presentation constitutes "working" rather than "attending," C10 is the safest legal route for invited guest lecturers, keynote speakers, and presenters — especially if an honorarium is provided without an Indonesian employment contract. For non-speaking conference/meeting attendance, C1 provides a lower-cost UNY-guaranteed option.
| Visa Index & Name | Cost (PNBP) | Stay & Extension | Sponsor Needed | Speaker / Honorarium | Best Academic Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C10 — Business Events Speaker | IDR 2,000,000 | 60 days (extendable up to 180 days) | Yes (UNY acts as guarantor) | Permitted (No Employment Contract) | Guest lecturers, keynote speakers & seminar presenters |
| C1 — Tourism & Visit Visa | IDR 1,000,000 | 60 days (extendable up to 180 days) | Not mandatory (UNY can sponsor on request) | Speaker Role & Pay Prohibited | Non-speaking meeting/convention participants & field visits |
| C9 — Short Course / Training | IDR 2,000,000 | 60 days (extendable up to 180 days) | Yes (UNY acts as guarantor) | Pay Prohibited | Benchmarking (studi banding), short courses & training |
| B1 — Visa on Arrival (VoA / e-VoA) | IDR 500,000 | 30 days (extendable once up to 60 days) | No (Selected nationalities) | Pay Prohibited | Short-term tourist / non-speaking MICE attendance |
