Applicants who wish to schedule an appointment for a nonimmigrant visa interview should first fill out the Electronic Visa Application Form. After the form has been printed out, applicants should log on to our online appointment system as follows to schedule an appointment:

- at the US Embassy in Jakarta;

- at the US Consulate General in Surabaya;

To use the system, the applicant will enter into the online appointment system their electronic barcode from the third page of their application and other personal identifying information. After scheduling an appointment online, an applicant will receive an immediate confirmation of the appointment which should be printed and brought to the interview.

Applicants may only schedule one appointment at a time. Applicants who schedule multiple appointments on different days will only be permitted to apply for a visa on the date of their first scheduled appointment. All other appointments will be deleted from our system.

Appointment times are staggered; applicants should arrive at the Embassy at the time stated or run the risk of losing their appointment time. 

Applicants who qualify for the business visa program can see our  Business Visa Program page.

Requests for expedited appointments in Jakarta can be submitted via email to jakconsul@state.gov or via fax to + 62 (21) 385 7189.  Requests for expedited appointments in Surabaya can be sent via email to consurabaya@state.gov. Please provide the passport number and a written explanation of why the travel is urgent and include contact information for consular staff to verify the claimed emergency situation.  All requests must include telephone or e-mail contact information in Indonesia for the visa applicants.

If you need to change your scheduled appointment, or if you missed your appointment, you must reschedule your appointment via the online appointment system.  Please do not come to the Embassy without rescheduling. 

Persons attempting to make multiple apopintments will have all their appointments cancelled and will not be granted admission on the date printed on their appointment letter.

Most visa applicants must use the appointment system described above. However, applicants under 14 years old or over 80 years old may qualify for a visa without coming for an interview.  Generally, the consular officer will waive the personal appearance requirement for any applicant under 14 years of age. For example, if a family is traveling on vacation to the U.S. , any children under 14 do not have to accompany their parents to the visa interview.  Every applicant age 14 or older must sign his or her own application form and will have his or her fingerprints scanned at the time of the interview.  Even if the child is under the age of 14 and will not attend the interview, there must be an appointment made in the child’s name, and a DS-156 filled out in the child’s name
