1. Japan Visa for Foreigners (KITAS/KITAP Holders)

If you are a foreigner residing in Indonesia, you must apply for a Sticker Visa. Japan’s immigration policy in 2026 remains focused on financial stability and clear ties to Indonesia. Flado specializes in assisting expats with complex documentation.
