  • The official source does not state the complete answer to this question for this route.

What sponsor, authority, nomination, certification, evidence or other step must occur before the status can be obtained?

No sponsor is needed. The foreign national applies in person on arrival, only at certain immigration checkpoints, and pays the visa-on-arrival fee at the designated bank counter while presenting a passport valid for at least 6 months. The official source does not mention any assignment letter or government nomination.

Limits of the record
  • The page does not mention any assignment letter or government nomination for F4.
  • The page's 'Jenis visa' paragraph describes 'Visa F1', with 7 days only at Riau Islands sea ports; this may be copied text, so the port list was not used.

What immigration status and rights result, how long do they last, can family be included, and what happens if the special qualifying circumstance ends?

F4 is published for a foreign traveller carrying out an official government assignment and is applied for at an immigration checkpoint on arrival by eligible visa-on-arrival nationalities; the page says it does not require a sponsor. It describes tourism or visits to friends/family as ancillary activities and prohibits selling goods/services or receiving pay for work or business from Indonesian persons or corporations. The same page displays a seven-day, non-extendable stay but its visa-type paragraph calls that rule F1 at specified Riau Islands sea checkpoints, so the actual F4 stay period cannot be confirmed from this page.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Material page conflict: the F4 stay section says seven days and no extension, but the visa-type section expressly assigns that duration to F1 at Riau Islands sea checkpoints. F4 duration and extension rule need a distinct authority.
  • The page does not specify derivative family inclusion or the effect of the government assignment ending.
