Applying for a KITAS can look intimidating, but the process follows a clear structure.
It starts with eligibility assessment. The visa type determines the sponsor, documents, and processing time. Once confirmed, document preparation begins. This usually includes passport copies, photos, sponsor letters, and supporting legal documents.
Next comes online submission to Indonesian Immigration, followed by approval issuance. Depending on the KITAS type, biometric registration or embassy visits may be required.
After entry or status conversion, the applicant completes local registration, including address reporting and immigration verification. Once finalized, the KITAS card or digital permit is issued.
Mistakes usually happen during document preparation or timing. Late submissions, incorrect sponsors, or missing extensions are common reasons for rejection. A structured process avoids these problems.
