Athletes and Coaches in Indonesia: Training Visit or Employment Route?
Choose the route by the real activity. The official catalogue lists sports visit categories and separate work-stay categories for athletes and sports officials.
TL;DR
- State whether you are training, competing, coaching, or employed.
- Record the host organisation, pay arrangement, and event schedule.
- Ask the sponsor to confirm the exact current visa code before travel.
Which categories appear in official guidance?
The official visa index lists sports visit categories, while the work-stay list includes athlete and sports-official work categories. Those labels do not replace an applicant-specific check.
Why is a tourist assumption risky?
Tourism status does not answer whether a paid role or organised work is permitted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a coach enter as a tourist?
That depends on the actual planned activity. Obtain an activity-specific visa determination before coaching.
