No. The B1 VoA can only be extended ONCE for 30 days (60 days total). After that, you must leave Indonesia. For stays longer than 60 days, apply for a C1 Tourist Visa before arrival (up to 180 days with extensions).
Investor KITAS (E28A) is required. Tourist visas do NOT allow business activities. The Investor KITAS lets you legally work as director in your PT PMA company, hire employees, and operate your business. It requires establishing a company with 10 billion IDR capital.
6-8 weeks total: Company formation (2-3 weeks) + licenses (2-3 weeks) + KITAS processing (14-20 days). We handle everything in parallel to minimize timeline. Must be applied offshore (outside Indonesia).
Retirement KITAS requires age 60+. Alternatives: (1) Investor KITAS with small business (no age limit), (2) Second Home Visa ($130K deposit, no age limit), or (3) Extended tourist visas with periodic visa runs.
No. KITAS renewals are processed while in Indonesia. Start 3 months before expiration. You’ll visit immigration once for biometrics. We handle all paperwork and government liaison.
KITAS is temporary residence (1-10 years depending on type). KITAP is permanent residence. You can apply for KITAP after holding certain KITAS types for 5 years. KITAP gives you an Indonesian ID card (KTP).
Absolutely not. Working on a tourist visa is illegal and can result in deportation, fines, and lifetime ban from Indonesia. You need proper work authorization (Work KITAS or Investor KITAS).
Severe penalties including daily fines, detention, deportation, and potential ban from re-entering Indonesia. Always start renewal/extension process early and never let your visa expire.
