The Office of International Affairs may request additional documents depending on the applicant’s nationality, activity, duration of stay, or Immigration’s verification requirements.

The E29 visa is intended for foreign nationals who will carry out activities related to a research project in Indonesia.

Before an E29 visa application can be processed, the foreign researcher must first obtain the required research approval or research permit from the National Research and Innovation Agency of Indonesia, commonly known as BRIN.

The Directorate General of Immigration classifies E29 as a limited-stay visa for researchers. The official requirements include sponsorship by an institution connected to scientific research and permission from BRIN. The current Immigration classification provides an initial stay of up to one year, subject to the validity and conditions stated in the issued visa and permit. 

General E29 Process

1. The foreign researcher or Unpad host submits the required documents to the Office of International Affairs.
2. The Office of International Affairs reviews the documents and confirms the research activity, host researcher, location, duration, and institutional affiliation.
3. The research permit or approval process is completed through BRIN.
4. After BRIN approval has been issued, the Office of International Affairs prepares the sponsorship and visa application documents.
5. The E29 application is submitted to the Directorate General of Immigration.
6. Any request for revision or additional documents is communicated to the researcher and the Unpad host.
7. Once the official billing invoice is issued, it is forwarded to the researcher or the inviting unit.
8. Payment is completed according to the invoice.
9. The issued eVisa is delivered to the researcher and the Unpad host.
10. Post-arrival stay permit and reporting requirements are completed where applicable.

Researchers must ensure that their activities, research locations, institutional partners, and research period remain consistent with the approvals issued by BRIN and Immigration.

The E23 visa arrangement applies to foreign lecturers, professors, experts, or other foreign professionals who will have a formal employment relationship or extended professional assignment with Universitas Padjadjaran.

This route is generally applicable when the foreign national:

• is appointed or contracted by Universitas Padjadjaran;
• holds an official position or job title;
• performs regular teaching, academic, technical, or professional duties;
• receives remuneration under an employment or service agreement; or
• works for an extended period under the University’s sponsorship.

The Directorate General of Immigration classifies E23 as a work visa. Indonesian Immigration classifications also recognise work categories in education, including lecturers and professors. 

Before the immigration process can be completed, Universitas Padjadjaran, as the employer or sponsoring institution, must undertake the required foreign-worker process with the Ministry of Manpower. This includes obtaining approval of the Foreign Worker Utilisation Plan, or Rencana Penggunaan Tenaga Kerja Asing — RPTKA. Under Indonesian regulations, an RPTKA sets out the position, period, and planned employment of the foreign worker and must be approved by the competent manpower authority. 

General E23 Process

1. The inviting faculty or unit formally proposes the appointment or assignment of the foreign lecturer or expert.
2. The employment position, job description, work location, assignment period, funding, and contractual arrangement are confirmed.
3. The foreign lecturer or the Unpad PIC submits the required personal and professional documents.
4. The Office of International Affairs reviews the documents and coordinates with the relevant human resources unit.
5. The RPTKA and other required manpower documents are processed through the Ministry of Manpower.
6. Any manpower-related billing or document revision is communicated to the responsible unit.
7. After the manpower documents have been approved, the Office of International Affairs prepares and submits the E23 visa application.
8. The Immigration billing invoice is forwarded to the foreign lecturer, inviting unit, or designated funding unit.
9. Payment is completed according to the official invoice.
10. The issued eVisa and relevant employment documents are delivered to the foreign lecturer and the Unpad PIC.
11. Upon arrival, the applicable limited-stay permit and local reporting procedures are completed.

Foreign lecturers may only perform activities that are consistent with the approved position, job description, work location, and period of employment.
