I had a KITAS family Visa and because expired last 11 th April, I tried to find information on the forum about how to apply again for a new KITAS Keluarga.
Reading the forum and the posts of some people about this topic, I had clear there was two ways to go, applying for the Telex to Jakarta trough their website and go outside Indonesia and come back to apply for the KITAS Keluarga or go outside of Indonesia, come back with a Budaya Sosial Visa and convert the Budaya Sosial Visa to KITAS Keluarga (like it was possible not long ago).
Reading the posts, even when sometimes was confusing if it was still possible or not convert the Budaya Sosial Visa to Kitas Keluarga, I finally trusted was still possible, because all the information I got here and because the wife of one of the members of the Forum in the same situation than me, had personally talked to the staffs at the Kantor Inmigrasi in Jimbaran asking the same questions and they told her that was still possible, beside I asked an Agency and they told me the same, it was possible.
So, I went to Australia, applied for the Budaya Sosial Visa and arrived last Friday.
I just came back from the immigration office in Denpasar and I am still between, shock, angry with myself and confuse, because they told me it is not possible to convert a Sosial Budaya Visa to Kitas keluarga without applying for a Telex, and according to them this is been since more than one year ago.
Finally the lady said, it could be possible but only if I have the number of a telex in the Sosial Budaya Visa, a Telex that I only can apply from their website (I guess before I leave Indonesia), so even not possible to apply for this telex in the Indonesian Embassy or consulate overseas.
Although, I think there is not point somebody choose to apply the telex and still do the budaya sosial converstion to kitas if you can do it straight away from the telex (me always thinking too much).
Finally a waste of time and money and an experience to learning something, I trusted this forum and the information I got from here or from the members here, and I think this was wrong, sorry, I am not saying it is a fault of the forum, I am very aware it was my own fault and I should have talk myself with the staffs of the immigration office to make sure a 100% about this.
I am not an English speaker, but from the information on the posts on the forum, I understood it was still possible to do the convertion from Budaya Sosial Visa to Kitas Keluarga, maybe I missunderstood?
Now I have to go outside Indonesia again.
Aduhhhhhhhh pusing!
