Steps To Get Your Spouse KITAS
1. Apply for a limited stay permit (VITAS) approval
You need to apply for a limited stay visa (VITAS) first, before you come to Indonesia. The Directorate General of Immigration in Jakarta issues a VITAS approval and sends it by telex to Indonesian embassies abroad.
Documents required for a VITAS approval :
- Evidence in the form of a marriage book or official marriage certificate
- Copy of Family Card and ID Card of the Indonesian spouse (wife or husband who is an Indonesian)
- Latest bank statement copy of the Indonesian spouse
- Sponsor letter
2. Converting Your Vitas to Kitas
Once you have a Vitas, you need to convert the Vitas into KITAS. Because Spouse KITAS have a validity period of one year and can be extended. Marriage KITASowners are also not limited to entry visits to Indonesia.
Documents required for a KITAS application (when converting VITAS)
- Application form
- Physical presence at immigration for biometric data processing
Stay Indonesia can help your process to get an Indonesian spouse quickly and reliably, so you and your partner don’t have to go through the hassle.
3. Civil registration and police reporting
Every foreigner who has a KITAS sponsored by an Indonesian spouse has to register themselves under the civil administration department. The registration must be done in 14 days after the issuance of KITAS.
After civil registration you will obtain:
- SKTT (residence certificate)
- Police Report Certificate (STM)
However, it should be noted that this Marriage KITAS only allows you to stay in Indonesia, not to work as a permanent employee in a company. The only type of work allowed is as a freelancer. You are allowed to stay in Indonesia for a maximum of 1 year and can be extended or can be converted into KITAP.
