How to Verify a Visa Sponsor

An operational guide for authorities, landlords, and business partners wishing to validate a traveler’s sponsorship.

Verifying a traveler's sponsorship is a critical step in local due diligence. Whether you are renting a villa, a vehicle, or conducting business, follow these steps to ensure you are dealing with a legally sponsored individual.

Step-by-Step Operator Guide

1

Physical Check

Request the IDIV card and ensure it belongs to the individual presenting it.

2

QR Scan

Open your mobile camera and scan the code on the back of the card.

3

Live Validation

Wait for the official indonesianvisas.com verification page to load.

4

Status Sync

Match the 'VALID' status and photo against the person in front of you.

Identifying "Valid" vs "Invalid" States

Knowing how to interpret the results is key to safe operation:

  • VALID: Sponsorship is active. You may proceed with the transaction.
  • PENDING EXTENSION: Visa has expired but the extension is in process. Verify the 'Submission Date'.
  • INVALID / EXPIRED: The traveler has no current sponsor. Do not proceed with high-risk transactions (e.g., expensive rentals).

Pro-Tips for Field Officers

Check the URL

Always Ensure the URL starts with indonesianvisas.com. Do not trust verification screens served from unknown domains.

Photo Verification

Always compare the bio-photo on the screen with the traveler. IDIV cards cannot be shared or transferred.

What to do in Case of Failure

If the system fails to return a result or returns an error:

  1. Ask for the traveler's Passport number and try a manual search at `idiv-search`.
  2. Check your internet connection; the system requires a live handshake.
  3. Contact our 24/7 Agency Hotline (Found on the back of all cards) for a manual sponsorship check.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know the QR code isn't fake? A fake QR code will either fail to scan or take you to a fake website. Always verify you are on the official indonesianvisas.com domain.
  • Can I verify multiple people at once? Currently, the system handles one verification per scan to ensure data integrity and focus.
  • Do I need a username/password? Public verification is open and does not require credentials. High-level partners are provided with specific login access for deeper records.
