International students planning to study at Universitas Diponegoro are required to obtain the appropriate visa before entering Indonesia. Please note that a Visa and a Stay Permit are different documents under Indonesian immigration regulations.
Important Notice
As mentioned in Indonesia’s laws and regulations, visa and stay permit are two different things, meaning that once you get visa does not mean that you are eligible to stay in Indonesia. For example, a person gets a Student Visa. When he/she reaches Indonesia has only 30 days to change the visa into a temporary stay permit. This information will be explained more in the stay permit section below.

Visit Visa
International Students who plan to study (6-month student exchange, Bachelor, Master or Doctoral) must obtain Limited Stay Visa for Education Purposes or shortly called Student Visa (Indexed C316). This type of visa allows you to stay in Indonesia from 3 months to 2 years (per period). International Students who are using other types of Visa are prohibited.
International Students only endorsed to use Student Visa (Index C316) to enter Indonesian territory. This type of Visa can only be obtained in Indonesian Embassy or Consulate General in students’ home country. Before the International students apply this Visa, they have to contact university / school to manage pre-application Visa because they need certificate of Visa approval from Indonesia immigration head quarter in Jakarta. Once the Visa approval is gained, the students then apply Visa in the nearest Indonesian Embassy or Consulate.
