Tassili helps you review the appropriate KITAS residence permit route in Indonesia and organise your documents before an application begins. The review depends on your purpose of stay, your circumstances and the sponsor where one is required. We therefore start by identifying the relevant category, rather than assuming every application has the same requirements.
What should you explain during the first consultation?
- Your purpose of stay: work, investment, joining family or another purpose.
- Your passport nationality and whether you are inside or outside Indonesia.
- Your current visa or residence permit and its expiry date, if applicable.
- Details of the organisation connected with the application or the relevant family relationship.
How is a KITAS application reviewed?
- Review your purpose and circumstances to identify the appropriate category.
- Clarify the documents, sponsor and procedures required for your case.
- Agree the scope of assistance and fees before preparing the application.
- Follow up comments or requests for further documents during the review.
Frequently asked questions about KITAS assistance
Does forming a PT PMA include KITAS approval?
Review company formation and residence permit assistance separately, and ask what your quotation includes. Do not assume that setting up a company alone guarantees a residence permit. See our PT PMA company formation service in Indonesia.
What documents, costs and processing times apply?
The checklist, costs and estimated timeframe are determined after reviewing the category and your circumstances. Request a written quotation explaining service fees, government fees and the assistance included.
Does application preparation guarantee approval?
The decision rests with the relevant authorities. Documents must be completed and the official requirements for the appropriate category reviewed.
Where can I check official information?
See Indonesian Immigration’s official eVisa portal and the immigration office’s information on limited stay permits (ITAS).
Start with a review of your circumstances
Contact Tassili and explain your purpose of stay, current visa status and relevant dates. Do not send sensitive documents before agreeing a secure way to receive them.
Investor residence and application preparation guides
Read the E28A investor residence requirements (Arabic) and the KITAS application checklist and common mistakes (Arabic) to understand the distinction between residence eligibility and application documents.
Choose the appropriate residence service in Indonesia
Choosing a KITAS route starts with your reason for staying, rather than the name of the permit alone. Explain whether you need residence for work, investment or joining family, and whether this is a new application or concerns an existing permit. Tassili reviews your circumstances, documents and scope of assistance before preparing the application.
- Family and spouse: the family relationship and the status of the person you are joining must be reviewed; family applications are not all treated as one category.
- Investor: your status and role in the company are reviewed separately from PT PMA formation procedures.
- Permanent residence: KITAP is a different route from KITAS and requires a separate eligibility review.
If you already hold a KITAS, use the extension service rather than starting a new visit visa application.
