They will inform our host team as soon as they receive the complete list of participants with passport details. This is because, under Indonesia\u2019s immigration regulations, paper presenters are technically classified as \u201c<strong>Speakers<\/strong>,\u201d which would normally require a C10 visa\u2014a process that is somewhat more involved than VoA or C1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please rest assured, however, that the Ministry of Immigration has promised to streamline the C10 application process for APCONF presenters and will&nbsp;<strong>not require the usual proof of USD 2,000 in bank funds<\/strong>&nbsp;that is typically part of the C10 requirements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Processing time is also expected to take&nbsp;<strong>no more than seven (7) working days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In the meantime (within 7 days), we kindly ask everyone to:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Complete the passport data form via the link provided, entering all details exactly as they appear in your passport.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Link:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/the6apconf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/linktr.ee\/the6apconf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(under &#8220;APCONF 2026 Visa Processing data)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure your passport is valid for at least\u00a0<strong>six (6) months<\/strong>\u00a0beyond your intended date of entry into Indonesia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upload a clear copy of your passport to the shared Drive folder you have created, and then attach your drive to the link of the visa data form (via the Linktree).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will forward this consolidated list to the Ministry of Immigration for their records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

It is important to confirm the latest requirements with your travel provider or the nearest Indonesian Embassy or Consulate, as entry rules may change at short notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official e-visa website for Indonesia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-054f41d556373b64d114433c9155d2e5 wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/evisa.imigrasi.go.id\">https:\/\/evisa.imigrasi.go.id<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Visa Fee<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most short-stay visitors, the Indonesian Visa on Arrival or e-Visa on Arrival costs IDR 500,000 per person. Other visa types may have different fees depending on nationality and purpose of travel. Participants should check the official Indonesian eVisa website before travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Important note<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visa rules can change, so the list above should be treated as APCONF conference guidance summary rather than a legal reference. For registration purposes, it is safest to direct participants to the official Indonesian eVisa portal for the latest nationality-specific requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">APCONF Participants should carry a passport at all times, either the original document or a copy. Indonesian immigration authorities may conduct random document checks, including in tourist areas in Bali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Visa category<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Countries<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Visa-free Entry<\/strong><\/td><td>Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Colombia, Hong Kong, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Suriname, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Vietnam, Brazil, T\u00fcrkiye<\/td><td>Short stay only; generally, for tourism and certain short visits.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Visa on Arrival \/ e-VOA eligible<\/strong><\/td><td>Albania, Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Brunei Darussalam, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Laos, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Maldives, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, Morocco, Myanmar, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Palestine, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Qatar, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Seychelles, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Suriname, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Timor-Leste, United Arab Emirates, United States, Uzbekistan, Vietnam<\/td><td>Eligible travellers can apply for e-VOA before travel or obtain VoA at the port of entry.&nbsp;e-VoA can be applied at least 48 hours before your travel.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Visa required before travel<\/strong><\/td><td>All other nationalities not listed above<\/td><td>These participants should obtain a visa in advance through the official Indonesian immigration system or an Indonesian embassy\/consulate.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ARRIVAL CARD<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Before travelling to Indonesia by air or sea, you must complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card completed through the All Indonesia website online within 72 hours (three days) of departure.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2948213f805d9e52780336b08983d048 wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id\/.\">https:\/\/allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id\/.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You may be asked to present proof of completion before clearing immigration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please submit your Arrival Card request through:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f476f103d9676bff9dcfdc017b1f9ac9 wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id\/arrival-card-submission\/personal-information\">https:\/\/allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id\/arrival-card-submission\/personal-information<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Travelers who have filled out the arrival card may look up and re-download proof of their submission through:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ecf6756122754871a5a32ff3c1e01bcb wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id\/arrival-card-submission\/retrieve\">https:\/\/allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id\/arrival-card-submission\/retrieve<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>HEALTH ADVISORY<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make sure you have suitable travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and lost baggage.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Before travelling to Indonesia, you must complete the Health Declaration online as part of the new All Indonesia Arrival Card within 72 hours of departure.
