Visa guidance for Indonesia on a Thai passport: the entry regime, where you file, the documents that are actually scrutinised, refusal patterns and realistic lead time.
The e-Visa on Arrival is obtained online from Indonesian immigration before departure. Work and stay permits require an Indonesian sponsor to apply in the system first before the visa is issued.
e-Visa on Arrival (B1)
For tourism and business meetings: 30 days, extendable once by 30 days, unlike the non-extendable exemption.
KITAS (Limited Stay Permit)
Limited stay permit for work, investment, spouse or retirement categories; the Indonesian sponsor files it.
Remote Worker / Second Home visa
For remote workers or applicants meeting deposit thresholds; conditions and amounts change often, so verify the current notice.
The exemption needs no processing; the e-Visa on Arrival is normally approved in one to three working days. KITAS runs about three to eight weeks from a complete sponsor filing, plus two to four weeks to legalise Thai documents.
Entry rules change. Before buying tickets or booking accommodation, reconfirm with the destination authority's official website.

For a firm trip of 30 days or less the exemption is free and simple. If plans might extend, take the e-Visa on Arrival from the start because it can be extended once; the exemption cannot.
Tourist status is not designed for work, and Indonesia does investigate and deport offenders. For sustained remote work, use the visa category built for it.
Thai civil documents (house registration, birth and marriage certificates) are translated into English and legalised by the Legalisation Division of the Department of Consular Affairs. Some destinations then require their own embassy stamp. From 28 February 2027 Thailand joins the Apostille Convention, after which an apostilled document is accepted by member states without the extra embassy step. Until then the current legalisation route applies.
No. VFS Global, TLScontact and BLS receive applications, enrol biometrics and forward the file to the destination's embassy or immigration authority. The decision belongs solely to that government. No service provider can fast-track or guarantee an outcome.
We check eligibility, build the file to the destination's standard, translate and certify documents, complete forms, book appointments, run interview preparation and track the case to decision. We do not create false documents, overstate income, sell shortcuts, or guarantee outcomes — the decision rests with the destination's officers.
Yes — all 77 provinces. Documents move by tracked courier and the file is built remotely. You travel only for biometrics or an interview, and for destinations that accept fully online filing sometimes not at all.
Send us the basics and we will tell you plainly where the file is weak, what to add, and when to submit. If the case is not ready, we say so before you spend the fee.
NYC Visa & Translation is a private service provider — not a government body and not an agent of any embassy or application centre. Visa decisions rest solely with the destination's authorities. We do not guarantee outcomes and offer no shortcuts. This page is general information; rules change, so verify with the destination's official sources before deciding.
One document set often moves through several stages — translation, notarial certification, legalization and finally a visa filing. The links below follow that real sequence.
Authority requirements change. Verify with the receiving authority before filing, or ask our team by phone, LINE or email.
