VISA PROCEDURE

We strongly suggest that to visit Indonesia, you do not use visas other than the limited stay visa (commonly called VITAS), because inconveniences may occur. For example, if your stay is for study purpose, which requires the VKSB (Visa Kunjungan Sosial Budaya/Social and Cultural Visit Visa), you will normally be granted a permit for 2 month’s stay. You will, however, need to extend your visa at your local immigration office every month for the whole duration of 6 months. Furthermore, you will have to apply for a new visa from the nearest Indonesian Embassy (this means that you will have to leave Indonesia) after 6 month’s stay.

  8. Applicants may use the Social-Cultural Visit Visa from Indonesian embassy/consulate and the study permit to enroll in the university.
  9. If the applicant is admitted, the university will request a study permit from the Ministry of National Education
  10. After the study permit has been issued, the university will request the local immigration office to convert the immigration status of the Social-Cultural Visit Visa to the VITAS.
  11. The head of the Local immigration office will send the conversion proposal to the Immigration Central Office in Jakarta through the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights.
  12. The Immigration Central Office in Jakarta can only give approval on the conversion request after the students have stayed for 2 months.
  13. Subject to approval for conversion, students may apply for the KITAS from the local immigration office and the Police registration card from the local Police Station.

In order to extend the stay permit, the university will regularly request an extension of the KITAS of its international students on a yearly basis from the local immigration office based on the duration of the permit. The University will forward the KITAS to the Directorate General of Higher Education. Arrangement of KITAS for international students studying in institutions which are not under the National Education Ministry will be handled by the institutions themselves. Once the extended stay permit is granted, the international students should obtain the SKLD.
