KITAP Indonesia: When Will You Need One?

With its natural beauty and friendly people, Indonesia has attracted many foreigners to settle down for a long-term tenure. If you are one of them, you will need KITAP Indonesia to make your new life in the country a lot easier.

For instance, a KITAP allows its holders to stay for up to five years and two years of multiple entries into Indonesia. However, for foreigners who don’t enter Indonesia within one year, the validity of KITAP is automatically void.

Once it has expired, KITAP holders have two options; extend it for another five years or convert it into an unlimited KITAP. Once converted into an unlimited KITAP, foreigners only need to report to the Indonesia immigration office once every five years instead of annually

  • Foreign investors, directors or commissioners in a Limited Liability Company or PT PMA (current Indonesian investor visa holder for three consecutive years)
