Since its introduction in 2023, the C7A visa has ushered international artists into Indonesia's vibrant entertainment scene. Also known as the Music Performer Visa, C7A allows musicians to share their talent with their Indonesian audience.
As Indonesia diversifies its music and entertainment landscape, it launched the C7A visa to simplify the entry process for foreign artists. Now, you’ll see more global big names lining up to perform concerts, music festivals, or theatrical productions in Indonesia. The C7A visa allows artists to stay in the country for 60 days, earn from performances, receive hospitality perks, and enjoy tourist activities. Dreaming of performing in Bali? If you have an invitation from an Indonesian event organizer, this visa might be your best option. To learn more, contact us for a free consultation.

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.
