Limited stay visa collection limited to 22 locations
24 Jan 19
INDONESIA
IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? The Indonesian government has linked the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the Directorate General of Immigration (DGI) systems with Indonesian embassies in order to integrate processing for work permits and stay permits. Currently, only 22 of Indonesia’s 65 embassies have systems in place to process the limited stay visas (VTTs or VITAs).
- Implementation: Ongoing from Jan. 9.
- Documents impacted: Limited stay visa (VTT or VITA).
- Who is impacted: Employers, employees and dependents applying for limited stay visas.
- What to watch: DGI and MOM have yet to confirm when the other remaining embassies will be ready to process the limited stay visa applications. Employers and employees should watch for any updates to the list of embassies (below) that are available to process limited stay visas, as it is subject to change.
Background: Foreign workers and their dependents must submit their limited stay visa application and collect the visa at one of the following 22 Indonesian missions before entering Indonesia:
Locations of Indonesian Missions Processing Limited Stay Visa Applications |
|
Bangkok, Thailand | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia |
Beijing, China | Kuching, Malaysia |
Berlin, Germany | Los Angeles, United States |
Davao City, Philippines | Penang, Malaysia |
The Hague, Netherlands | Seoul, South Korea |
Dili, Timor-Leste | Singapore, Singapore |
Guangzhou, China | Songkhla, Thailand |
Hong Kong, China | Sydney, Australia |
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia | Taipei, Taiwan |
Johor Bahru, Malaysia | Tawau, Malaysia |
Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia | Tokyo, Japan |
Analysis & Comments: Employers should factor in the reduced number of locations processing limited stay visas when planning business schedules and start dates for employees.
