Proof of funds for the Indonesia work visa

As a Nepali applicant, show a 3–6 month bank statement plus income proof matched to your source: salary slips and an employer/leave letter if you're employed, business registration (PAN/VAT) and tax clearance if self-employed, or a sponsor's bank statement and a notarised sponsorship letter if someone funds your trip. Money that lands suddenly just before you apply is a common refusal trigger — keep the balance steady for months.

Processing time, validity & extension

Plan for 5–10 working days once Indonesia has a complete file. The visa is valid 90 days from issuance and lets you stay 60 days per entry; extendable twice (180 days max total) (Single). Apply at least 3–4 weeks before departure; festivals and embassy holidays in both countries can stretch the window. If you need longer in Indonesia, ask about the in-country extension rule before your stay expires — overstaying jeopardises every future application.

Before you apply: the Nepal-side prep

Every Nepali-language document — citizenship certificate, birth or marriage certificate, property papers, income proof — must be submitted with a notary-certified English translation. Workers need the employer demand letter and, for many destinations, a Nepal-government labour approval plus a medical (GAMCA/Wafid) certificate. Carry the original plus one photocopy of each, and make sure your name is spelled identically everywhere: passport, ticket, hotel booking and bank statement. A single mismatch is enough to trigger a query.

Why Indonesia files get refused — and how to avoid it

  • Inconsistent funds — a balance that jumps right before applying.
  • Missing translations — Nepali documents submitted without certified English versions.
  • Mismatched dates — the flight, hotel and itinerary don't line up.
  • Weak ties to Nepal — no job, study, property or family pull to return to.
  • Wrong visa class — applying as a tourist for a work or study purpose.
