Carmen Ricci: Senior Visa Specialist
As our Senior Visa Specialist, Carmen Ricci is the cornerstone of balisocialvisa.com. With a distinguished career spanning over 10 years in Indonesian immigration services, Carmen brings expertise, particularly in the realm of social and cultural visas. Her deep understanding of the evolving legal landscape, including the transition from the “SOSBUD” label to the current single-entry Visit Visa type C6 (Social & Volunteer) or C1/C2/C3 Visit Visa B211A, ensures that our clients receive accurate, up-to-date guidance grounded in 2026 regulations.
Carmen possesses an intricate knowledge of Indonesian immigration procedures, particularly those governed by Imigrasi Denpasar and other key regional offices. She is adept at complexities of the B211A visa, which allows for an initial 60-day stay and can be extended in-country for a total duration of up to 180 days. Her expertise is crucial for foreigners visiting friends or relatives, engaging in social or cultural activities, or participating in volunteer programs without seeking employment. Carmen’s commitment to staying abreast of every regulatory shift means she can expertly advise on critical eligibility criteria, such as the requirement for a passport with a minimum validity of 12 months for a 180-day visa, and the need for a personal bank statement showing a minimum USD 2,000 balance over the last three months.
Carmen personally oversees complex cases and ensures that every application submitted via the official e-visa portal meets the stringent requirements, from sponsor documentation to the genuine purpose of your social/cultural visit. Her meticulous approach minimises the risk of delays or rejections, providing our clients with confidence and peace of mind.
Our Document & Compliance Specialist
Supporting Carmen, our dedicated Document & Compliance Specialist plays a vital role in the meticulous preparation and verification of all visa application materials. This individual ensures that every document, from your passport scan and photo to your bank statement and sponsor letters, adheres precisely to the 2026 standards set by Indonesian Immigration.
Their work involves a rigorous quality control process, checking for correct formats, validities, and completeness, particularly for the B211A visa. They are experts at compiling the comprehensive digital dossiers required for submission through the evisa.imigrasi.go.id portal, ensuring that all applicant and sponsor documents – whether a private KTP or company registration – are perfectly aligned with current regulations. This attention to detail is paramount in preventing common application pitfalls and facilitating a smooth approval process for your Bali social visa.

Our concierge team ensures that even though you’re applying for a formal visa, you feel supported by a friendly, knowledgeable human throughout the entire process.
