Visas for Journalists Traveling to the U.S.
U.S. Embassy Jakarta has created the Business Visa Program (BVP) to make it easier for certain employees and spouses and unmarried children under 21 to seek nonimmigrant visas to the United States, including “I” visas. Firms lawfully operating within Indonesia are eligible to join the BVP. Applying for the Business Visa Program (BVP) is a free, quick and easy process. We recommend all Indonesian media outlets that send employees to the U.S. apply for the BVP program. BVP registration is valid for two years.
Media Outreach Programs
The U.S. Embassy and its partners sponsor training and outreach programs for local journalists. Additionally, the U.S. Embassy accepts proposals from other institutions to do joint training programs and events that promote journalism in Indonesia. Please contact us at PAS_Jakarta@state.gov for more information.

Books, e-journals, and other publications are available for journalists. Contact MyAmerica Jakarta at myamericajakarta@state.gov to request more information. For other journalism resources, please visit the U.S. State Department’s InfoUSA website.
