Hello all. Just wanting to get some information on his.
I'm presently on a KITAS sponsored by workplace and am looking to alih sponsor to KITAP sponsored with my WNI spouse (been married to her 4.5 years).
I went to the immigration office prior to the pandemic to ask if I had fulfilled the requirements and what documents that I had to provide. The thing that made me slightly raise my eyebrows was that the customer service officer that I asked questions to said that I had to resign from my workplace if I wanted to do alih sponsor to my spouse.
Looking around at the information on websites and the big board outlining what documents are required only said "surat pengunduran diri (bila sudah resign)" but this implies it's only required if I have resigned, which I haven't.
My questions are:
1. Do I have to resign from the workplace to do alih sponsor to my spouse? (Just want to make sure because if it was the only information from the immigration customer service that seemed to be at odds with what I've read)
2. Can I directly convert KITAP sponsored by workplace to KITAP sponsored by spouse? I ask this because the stories of people getting a KITAP sponsored by spouse start off with the WNA having a Kitas sponsored by spouse instead of on a visa sponsored by the workplace.
Obviously the immigration's closed and my KITAS becomes an emergency permit until the national disaster status has been lifted. But just wanted to make some preparations.
