(1) Apply using a reliable Visa Agent Service online

Prices and Services

While it is indeed possible to apply directly for some Visa Types, for a KITAS and long-stay visas e strongly advise our audience to engage with a reliable agent. There are too many things that can go wrong and are a bit complex to handle by oneself.

2) Apply directly online through the official Indonesian Immigration website.

Particularly for this KITAS type the payment needs usually  to be done through a local bank account, which is a challenge if the applicant is still abroad. If you encounter any problems when submitting your visa application, you need to contact the immigration department directly which can be a challenge at times.

Unfortunately, one requirement to apply for this visa is to have an employment contract with an organization (business/ NGO/ governmental institution) that is registered outside of Indonesia.

Yes, you will get a KITAS with the E33G Visa.

KITAS is short for “Kartu Ijin Tinggal Terbatas” (temporary residency stay permit card). The Remote Worker Visa will grant foreign-nationals a KITAS which mean that they will subject to be a temporary resident in Indonesia.

The nature of your work must not involve dealing with Indonesian companies or Indonesian clients.
