What is the E30 Visa?
Indonesia’s immigration authority introduced the E30 visa category in July 2025. It is a limited stay visa designed for foreign nationals who wish to take part in non-formal education such as language courses, vocational training, or cultural programs.
This new visa supports international learners who want to advance their careers or gain new skills without enrolling in a traditional university degree program.
Eligible Programs
Non-formal education may include:
- Indonesian or other language training
- Culinary and hospitality courses
- Digital or IT skill-building programs
- Arts, culture, or creative industry training
Formal education programs (school or university) fall under the E30A and E30B visa categories.
Who Can Apply?
Any foreign national planning to study non-formal courses in Indonesia for one or two years may apply. Applicants must have a guarantor, which can be either an individual or the educational institution offering the course.
