Pre-Investment Visa (D12)
The Pre-Investment Visa (D12) is designed for foreign investors who want to explore business opportunities in Indonesia before officially starting a company or making an investment. It allows you to stay in the country while you research the market, meet potential partners, and visit locations such as offices, hotels, villas, or project sites.
This visa is ideal for serious investors who need time to plan properly and want to do everything in a legal and structured way.
What It Is For
- Market research and feasibility studies.

The D12 visa is for pre-investment activities only. It does not allow you to work, receive a salary in Indonesia, or manage daily business operations.
Key Details

- Multiple entry: you can enter and leave Indonesia during the visa validity.
- Each visit can allow a stay of up to 180 days, based on current regulations.
