Seven Stones Indonesia is a consultancy offering legal, immigration, tax, and property services for expats, entrepreneurs, and investors in Indonesia. With offices in Jakarta and Bali, they market themselves as a values-driven firm that simplifies complex processes like company registration, visa acquisition, and property deals.
What They Do Well:
✔️ Offers a full-service suite: business setup, visas, tax, and real estate
✔️ Strong branding around ethical, long-term partnerships
✔️ English-speaking team with on-the-ground presence in both Jakarta and Bali
✔️ Emphasis on transparency and professionalism in client communication
Potential Drawbacks:
⚠️ Pricing is not always clear on the website—requires direct inquiry
⚠️ May be better suited for business owners than individuals seeking one-off visa help
⚠️ Some services (e.g., property and corporate legal) may be overkill for small-scale relocators
Best For:
Entrepreneurs and investors looking for hands-on support in legally setting up a business, purchasing property, or relocating to Indonesia long-term with ethical, mid-to-high-tier service expectations.
It’s fairly easy and takes about 30-days to set up a PMA. You do need a commercial address (many companies provide this) and hiring staff depends on your requirements. You are not obliged to hire staff.
No, you don’t need to be a resident, unless you do want to work here and then you do need a work permit.
This depends on you. Some property purchases are ROI driven, some are asset driven and some both. Leasehold usually means a cheaper price and therefore higher ROI. But it’s an asset that’s declining in value. The area is also something to consider. Canggu, for example has very high freehold prices so you might want to consider the cheaper leasehold options available in the area.
No, visitor visas (e.g., VOA, B211A) and business visas (e.g., C2, D2) prohibit profit-making activities, such as employment. These visas are for tourism, meetings, or non-work-related visits. To work legally, you need a Work KITAS (C312), which requires sponsorship from an Indonesian company and approvals from the Ministry of Manpower. We can help you secure the appropriate work permit.
For most E-Visas (e.g., C2, D2, B211A), you must enter Indonesia within 90 days of issuance, or the visa becomes invalid, and you’ll need to reapply. Seven Stones Indonesia is not responsible for unused visas but can assist with reapplication for IDR 4,500,000 (onshore visa) or a new offshore application. Always plan your travel within the 90-day window.
Processing times vary by visa type: 1. Visa on Arrival (VOA): Issued upon arrival or processed in advance as an E-Visa. 2. Single Entry Visitor Visas (B211A, B211B, B211C): Typically 7-10 working days. 3. Single Entry Business Visa (C2): 7-10 working days. 4. Multiple Entry Business Visa (D2): 7-10 working days. 5.
