Can I leave Jakarta after applying for a visa and come back later without affecting my application?

When applying for a visa in Jakarta, it's important to remain in the country until the processing is completed, which can take up to 10 days or more. Leaving the country may risk your application being denied, as embassies often check attendance before finalizing the visa. If you're concerned about timing, consider applying for a 30-day visa instead of relying on a 7-day exemption.
