The C10 Visa for Corporate Events in Bali: What Organizers Should Know
Most of the visa conversations we have are about wellness retreats, which is why the C7C comes up so often. But some retreat leaders and event organizers are running something different: a company offsite, a team program, a business event.
If that's you, the visa to look at is the C10.
What the C10 Is
The C10 is the visa for corporate events, and it lasts 60 days.
That's the headline. It's designed for the kind of work involved in organizing and running a corporate event in Bali, rather than a wellness retreat or a holiday.
C10 vs C7C
The two visas are built for different kinds of events:
C7C — wellness events, such as yoga, meditation, breathwork or healing retreats; lasts 30 days
C10 — corporate events; lasts 60 days
The simplest way to choose is by the type of event. If you're leading a wellness retreat, the C7C is the one we help with most, because most of our clients run retreats rather than conferences or corporate programs. If you're organizing a corporate event, the C10 is the one designed for it. Our guide to the C7C and C10 visas compares the two in more detail.
Why Not a Tourist Visa?
A tourist visa, including the Visa on Arrival, does not permit teaching, leading sessions, creating paid content or conducting professional activities. If you're organizing and running an event as your work, you need a visa that matches. Our guide to the Visa on Arrival vs the C7C explains the difference.
Who Might Need the C10
The C10 may be relevant if you're:
A retreat leader adding corporate programs to your offering
An event organizer running a company offsite or team event in Bali
A facilitator or coach hired by a company to deliver a program
If your event sits somewhere between wellness and corporate, ask before you apply instead of guessing. The right choice depends on what you're actually running.
Corporate Events Come With Their Own Planning
The visa is only one piece. Corporate groups tend to need different things from a public retreat: clear objectives, flexible dates, proper invoicing and a written agreement, and a program that balances structure with downtime. Our guide to hosting a corporate wellness retreat in Bali covers what companies look for, and you can see more about what we offer on our corporate retreats page.
How to Get Started
When you ask a local service partner like us, the process looks like this:
An initial assessment of your event, dates and passport
A visa recommendation based on what you're running
An introduction to our licensed legal partner
A personalized document checklist for your situation
Application and arrival, with your legal partner submitting and managing the application
We're not a visa agency; we guide you through it. Requirements vary by passport and by activity, so we look at your situation instead of handing you a generic list.
Timing
Processing typically takes 5 to 14 business days after your application is submitted. We recommend starting at least four weeks before you arrive. Corporate events often have fixed dates set by the company, so it's worth starting early. Our Bali retreat planning timeline shows how the pieces fit together.
