FAQ
Who can apply for a C7A-Music Performer Visa?
The C7A visa is for foreign artists who want to participate in music or art events. These include singers, bands, DJs, instrumentalists, dancers, and other performing artists. The visa doesn’t cater to the music performer’s crew members, such as sound and lighting technicians, stage managers, personal assistants, and security. (Check C7B Visa)
To qualify for a C7A visa, you should have an invitation letter from an entertainment company or event organizer in Indonesia.
How is the C7A-Music Performer Visa different from an Impresario Visa?
C7A is for artists and other stage performers participating in short-term events or performances. The Impresario visa is for event organizers, managers, and producers handling, promoting, or planning cultural events.
The C7A grants temporary stay (60 days, extendable twice), while the Impresario visa is long-term and may be converted to a permanent stay permit if necessary.
