Can I visit Indonesia for adoption purposes with an e-Visa?

While Indonesia offers adoption opportunities, the process is complex and requires close cooperation with the Indonesian government. An e-visa is not sufficient for adoption purposes – another type of visa is required. The adoption process must be completed entirely in Indonesia and can take at least two years. Prospective adoptive parents must meet strict requirements regarding residency, age, marital status, and religion.

Before entering into any foster care arrangement, it is important to consult with the Indonesian government and obtain the appropriate visa. Contacting the Global Visa Corp website can provide additional guidance and resources to navigate the adoption process efficiently. Attempting to adopt using an e-visa or rushing the process may result in adoption orders that are not in compliance with Indonesian law and will not be recognized for naturalization purposes.

The adoption process requires patience, following the proper legal channels, and cooperating with Indonesian authorities every step of the way. Foreigners can apply for an Indonesian visa for adoption directly or through other mechanisms through Indonesian representative offices abroad. However, the e-visa system is not designed for adoption and is primarily intended to facilitate business and tourism travel.
