Effective June 2, 2025, Indonesia has overhauled its visa framework through Minister of Immigration and Corrections ("MOIC") Decree No. M.IP-08.GR.01.01 of 2025 concerning Visa Classification ("New Decree"). This New Decree amends the earlier classification under Minister of Law and Human Rights ("MOLHR") Regulation No. 22 of 2023 concerning Visas and Stay Permits, as amended by MOLHR Regulation No. 11 of 2024 ("MOLHR Reg. 22/2023"), and MOLHR Decree No. M.HH-02.GR.01.04/2023 concerning Visa Classification ("Previous Decree"), introducing a more streamlined and consolidated visa structure.

The New Decree divides the types of visas into Visit Stay Visas (includes A, B, C, D, and F Visas) and Temporary Stay Visas (E Visas), while merging several sub-categories and clarifying rights for visa holders across sectors.
