Students are permitted to travel prior/past their program in Indonesia as long as the student does not overstay their visa.
All Professional Practicum Program participants must enter Indonesia on a pre-purchased 60 day Social-Cultural Visa. This is a single entry visa that is valid if presented within three months from the date of issue. Please doubly note that the visa is single entry, non-extendable and, once issued, must be used on your next entry into Indonesia (including Bali). Indonesian Immigration Law does not permit foreigners to hold more than one visa (or tourist visa exemption) at a time, so you should not obtain your Social-Cultural visa until any other travel plans to Indonesia have been completed.
Whilst we encourage participants to get as much exposure to Indonesia as possible, this is not the main objective of the intensive 6-week practicum. The participant gets a 60-day visa, and the program lasts for 6-7 weeks. This does not leave much time for a holiday before or after the program.
Neither ACICIS nor Atma Jaya University will support visa extensions and there are hefty fines for overstaying your visa, so be careful. If you want to stay longer than the 60 days, it is best to fly to Singapore/ Kuala Lumpur and then return on a tourist visa exemption/visa on arrival.
