FAQs
1. Can I use the deposited funds?
The deposit serves as a financial guarantee. You may access the funds, but immigration may request proof of availability at any time. Failure to maintain it may result in visa cancellation.
2. How and when must financial proof be submitted?
You must submit proof of funds or property ownership within 90 days of KITAS issuance to the relevant immigration office. Depending on your category, documentation from dependents must be submitted within the same timeframe. Non-compliance may lead to permit cancellation.
3. Can I bring family members?
Yes — spouses, children, and parents can join under the same visa terms. No additional deposit required for dependents, but relationship documentation must be provided.
4. Is a guarantor necessary?
Officially, no guarantor is mandated. However, some systems may still require a guarantee letter during application. Although optional, having a local sponsor can help navigate the process.
5. What if I violate visa terms or overstay?
Violations — such as failing to present proof within deadlines or overstaying — can result in cancellation and an order to leave Indonesia within 7 days.
6. Will I become an Indonesian tax resident?
Potentially, yes. Holding this KITAS and residing over 183 days in a tax year may qualify you as a tax resident, subjecting you to global income taxation. Be sure to seek advice on your specific tax obligations.
7. What’s the processing timeline?
After submitting complete documents, expect processing to take 7–10 working days for visa preparation. Arrival biometrics and ITAS issuance occur afterward.
