have to be there to put application in. But maybe you could help fill it all out while you are there just leave dates blank or fill in the dates of when they will be applying for visa.
I have bought my partner out twice now and we have applied 3 times. The 1st time it was refused, 2nd time was granted and his 3rd visa they gave him a multi entry for 12 months.
Just make sure your friend can prove he/she has reasons to return to Indonesia.This is the consulates main concern that they will not return.
Also you will need to provide copies of 3months bank statements to show you have sufficient funds to cover their stay. I also included an itinerary of our planned travels etc.
Hope this is of some help.
