This file is the source-review record for this document version, per the manual-source-review-v1 practice. It documents the provenance of the published fields and flow and states the current verification claim honestly.

Current claim

• status: draft
• verification.method: manual-source-review-v1
• verification.lastVerifiedAt: 2026-07-07

This is a GovSchema Standard Research cycle (GOV-1581), a general research-analyst brief covering DMV, Business Formation, Visa, Passport, Taxes, and National ID & Civic Documents across all jurisdictions.

Why this candidate

CATALOG.md's own "Known Gaps" record flagged Indonesia's Visa vertical as "ready-to-author backlog for an immediate follow-up cycle" (GOV-1567): the official manual is well-sourced for the visa-type-selection wizard and payment/verification/issuance steps, but its own "Fill Form → Personal Information" screen renders only as an unlabelled wireframe (dashed placeholder boxes, no field labels, at any resolution the manual's own screenshot allows) — confirmed again this cycle by directly re-reading the same PDF (see "Source 1" below). Rather than treat that gap as settled, this cycle searched independently for a second source that might resolve it, and found one: a US college's own study-abroad/international-programs office publishes a genuine walkthrough of the same live platform, filled with a real worked example, showing every "Fill Form" field's actual on-screen label (see "Source 2" below). Combining both closes the gap the prior cycles left open.

Before committing to this candidate, this cycle also spot-checked the registry's current jurisdiction/vertical coverage (19 jurisdictions, DMV and Passport near-complete) and confirmed Indonesia's Visa gap remained the single strongest, best-evidenced, not-yet-superseded candidate on the "Known Gaps" list.

The live platform itself, evisa.imigrasi.go.id, is WAF-blocked to a direct unauthenticated fetch: every page tried this cycle (/, /web/application_bvk_step, /front/info/evoa) returned HTTP 403 "Request blocked" from both curl and WebFetch, matching the "no login/CAPTCHA/WAF" caveat already on record for this gap.
• Extraction method: the Read tool renders PDFs natively (multimodal); used directly, page by page. No pdfjs-dist/zlib extraction was needed — every page's screenshot and prose was legible directly.
• Retrieved / reviewed: 2026-07-07
• What it confirms: the overall wizard shape (5-box visa-type-selection step: passport country → main/sub purpose → visa type → length of stay), the passport/photo upload step's own terms-and-conditions text, the "Fill Form" step's section headings (Visa Type Information, Payment Method, Personal Information, Document Requirement) as blank wireframe placeholders only, the Review step, both payment channels (Credit Card and Simponi) with their own on-screen radio option labels, the verification/decision states (Pending/Reject/Recommended/Decision), and the visa-issuance/download step. Its own worked example follows a Golden Visa/Investment pathway (p.10: "sub purpose... Golden Visa", "choose a visa... Investment", "planning to stay... Individual Investor", "Length of Stay... 5 years") — a different, more complex top-level branch than this document's scope (see judgment call 1 below).

Source 2 (field-by-field "Fill Form" content)

• Publisher: Principia College (Elsah, Illinois, USA), International Programs / study-abroad office — a third-party, non-governmental source, not the Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi itself.

• Extraction method: the Read tool rendered this PDF directly; every field label, required-field asterisk, and worked-example value below was read directly off its own screenshots.
• Retrieved / reviewed: 2026-07-07
• What it confirms: the exact "Fill Form" field labels the official manual's own wireframe could not show — Personal Information (Full name, Sex, Place of Birth, Date of Birth, Phone Number), Passport (or other travel document) Information (Document Type, Document No., Nationality, Date of Expiry, Issuing Country), Address in Indonesia (Residence Type, Address, Postal Code, plus auto-populated Province/City/District/Village/ Immigration Office), the Visa Type Information recap panel, the Payment Types radio, the Main Document (Return Ticket) and Support Document upload slots, and the Applicant Contact Confirmation (Email/Email Confirmation) panel — every one with its own required-field asterisk (or lack of one) visible on-screen.

Access notes and judgment calls

1. Scope is deliberately narrowed to the General/Family/Social → B1 Visitor-visa branch. The wizard's first two boxes (mainPurpose, subPurpose) gate a materially different downstream flow for other top-level categories — most visibly, Source 1's own worked example follows a Golden Visa/Investment pathway, which its own prose describes with an apparent extra sub-classification step ("I am planning to stay?... Individual Investor") distinct from the simple duration selector this document models, plus multi-year stay options (5/10 years) in place of the 30-day option modelled here. Neither source walks the Golden Visa/Investment branch's own "Fill Form" screen field-by-field, so it is not modelled. A future minor version could add it once a comparably strong field-level source for that branch is found.
2. visaType's "(Visa On Arrival)" naming is a known trap — disclosed, not silently resolved. Source 1 independently confirms Indonesia operates a separate, genuinely-instant "e-VOA" product ("A Visit on Arrival visa can be applied for by foreigners without having an account... instant visa", p.9) that is not the flow modelled here. The "B1 - Tourist (Visa On Arrival)" product Source 2 walks is, despite its name, obtained through the same full account/upload/verification/ payment e-Visa process every other product in this schema uses — Source 2's own guide confirms an account, passport/photo upload, and a multi-day verification wait, none of which the true e-VOA requires. This document models the full e-Visa flow only; the separate instant e-VOA product is out of scope and would need its own document if authored.
3. sex is modelled as a 2-value enum; most other dropdowns are modelled as open strings. sex is a genuine two-option radio group with both option labels ("MALE"/"FEMALE") rendered on-screen regardless of selection — the same disclosure discipline already used for this registry's other confirmed-both-values radio/dropdown fields (e.g. id/imigrasi/passport-application-first-adult's gender). Every other dropdown (passportCountry, nationality, documentType, residenceType, mainPurpose, subPurpose, visaType, lengthOfStay) shows only its own selected value on-screen with a chevron affordance implying more options exist, so none of these assert an enum.
4. documentType's further values are named in source text but never shown selected. The Support Document upload's own description names "emergency passports" and "documents of identity" as alternative travel-document types — real, textual evidence more documentType values exist beyond the confirmed default "Passport" — but the dropdown itself is never shown open or set to any other value, so documentType remains an open string rather than a fabricated enum.
5. paymentMethod combines two sources for its two enum values. Source 1 is the only one of the two to show both "Credit Card" and "Simponi" as simultaneous on-screen radio options; Source 2's own worked example (a foreign cardholder) shows only the credit/debit-card option selected, with its own more specific label ("CREDIT CARD / DEBIT CARD (Foreign Bank)"). Both values are used verbatim from whichever source rendered them more precisely.
6. nationality's dropdown renders in Indonesian ("AMERIKA SERIKAT") even though the rest of the live UI is in English. Confirmed directly in Source 2's own screenshot, not an authoring transcription error — flagged here so a consuming agent does not "correct" it.
7. postalCode's 5-digit pattern is asserted from the confirmed worked example plus Indonesia's own well-established 5-digit postal-code standard, not inferred from a single example alone.
8. province/city/district/village/immigrationOffice are modelled as required: false. The source's own text states these are auto-populated once residenceType/address/postalCode are entered, not independently keyed by the applicant — they are included because a consuming agent should expect them in the resulting record, not because the applicant supplies them directly.
9. travelDocumentValidityDocument's label and description state two different validity periods for what the source presents as one upload slot ("Passport Valid for at Least 6 Months" as the label, "must be valid for 12 months" in its own description prose) — preserved verbatim rather than silently reconciled, since neither source clarifies which governs.
10. The Review & Submit step's own checkbox-attestation screen is out of scope. Source 2's own stepper names this step ("Review & Submit, tick in each checkboxes for review") but neither source renders it on-screen, so no attestation document entry is fabricated for it — the same discipline ae/icp/visa-single-entry-long-stay-pleasure already applies to its own "Review Application" step.
11. Account registration/sign-in is out of scope, consistent with every other account-gated document in this registry (e.g. id/imigrasi/passport-application-first-adult).
12. The third-party credit-card payment-gateway entry screen is out of scope. Source 2's own step 11 names only a generic "credit card information" screen with an approximate USD fee, no field-level detail.

Test run (Phase 4)

No live submission was attempted: evisa.imigrasi.go.id requires full account registration (passport-photo/personal-photo upload plus email verification) before any application screen is reachable, and a real submission would create a real record in a foreign government's immigration system and could not be safely withdrawn — the same reasoning already documented for id/imigrasi/passport-application-first-adult and ph/dfa/passport-application. Instead, this document's own worked mock example (the "Example valid value" column above) was checked programmatically against every field's own validation keyword (enum, pattern, maxLength) and required, the emailConfirmation cross-field rule was checked against a matching and a mismatching pair, and both meta-schema validators (tools/validate.mjs and tools/validate-ajv.mjs) were run against the finished document and pass clean.
