The Indonesian government now permits foreign nationals with a Multiple Entry Business Visa (MEBV) to conduct audits, production quality control, or inspections at their Indonesian branches. Previously, MEBV holders could only attend business meetings and had to apply for a single-entry business visa for the aforementioned activities. This expands the scope of the MEBV, which should benefit foreign workers since the MEBV is valid for one year (whereas business visas are valid from 30-180 days depending on the activity) and those under a MEBV do not need to submit a new application each time they enter Indonesia.
