KITAS and KITAP – Visa Agency

KITAS and KITAP

KITAS is a temporary residence permit in Indonesia. It is not easy to get it, like, for example, a visit visa or a visa on arrival.

KITAS options

  1. Working KITAS: an official employer in Indonesia is required;
  2. Digital Nomad Visa/Remote Worker KITAS: contract with an employer outside Indonesia and bank statement required for 1 year with an income of 60000 USD;
  3. Investor KITAS: establish your company and get an investor visa;
  4. Student KITAS: for study;
  5. Family KITAS: for those who are officially married to an Indonesian citizen;
  6. Dependent KITAS (for kids/spouse): if your parents or spouse owns KITAS, you may qualify for a dependent visa;
  7. Repatriation KITAS: for ex-WNI (foreigners who are ex-Indonesian citizens);
  8. Retirement KITAS: for persons over 60 years of age;
  9. Second home visa for 5 years (for the whole family including children and parents): when opening an account for 2 billion IDR in Indonesia or purchasing real estate in the amount of 1 million US dollars.

KITAS to KITAP conversion

KITAP is a permanent residence permit, which can be obtained at least 2 years after receiving the KITAS status. This short period is only allowed for mixed families with an Indonesian spouse. Other KITAS holders had to be in this status for 5 years to convert it to KITAP. KITAP is issued for 5 years, after that, as a rule, without limitation of validity period. KITAP can be used to obtain Indonesian citizenship.

General rules for obtaining KITAS

  1. You can apply for some types of KITAS outside of Indonesia. Offshore applications are submitted online in electronic format, then the ITAS sticker is pasted at the airport, the KITAS is sent by e-mail.
  2. Another way is to apply for a KITAS while already in Indonesia, that is, onshore. You must come with a visit visa 211A/C2 (ex B211A) because a visa on arrival cannot be converted to KITAS.
