    Change of address.

    The old agent will do it. They will just charge 1.5 million for it.

    Change of address.

    I need to change the address on my visa/kitas. The original address was whatever the visa agency used in Jakarta, we have now settled in jogja and have a home. Is this easy to do myself or should I just get the original visa agency to do it at whatever cost it is?

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    You are correct! And we have looked into this too. This isn't terribly hard but a bit time consuming and not cheap. If you also marry you can go one step further and really 'be the father'. Ah but that then goes back to marriage. If you marry such that you are subject to the Muslim court, it is...

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    Thanks for that. To make things MORE complex my family converted to catholic when I was young so there's even more documentation out there. However I don't think I have it, I long since do not remember the church (I've moved a LOT in my life and was young when this happened) and my parents are...

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    Thank you - this we also feel is the path of least resistance and we will do something similar. Did you not actually have to do the (fairly short) conversion to muslim or was the Masjid happy to just do the service and fill in the forms and let immigration make assumptions?

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    Banks can close but Mandiri is very unlikely to do so as it's government-owned. The main reason for marrying, apart from the fact we love each other and always intended to do so, is it gives us a path to legitimize our daughter who will, otherwise, go through life with the mark of a birth...

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    Yes. That would on the face of it be a lot easier. We could marry in Singapore easily and nobody would have to change religion. We'd marry in the civil ROM as the muslim one again is just for muslims. But that marriage will not be recognized in Indonesia. You used to be able to apply to the...

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    Just to finish the story. After a week of my passport travelling around jogja I finally got it back today. They had carefully peeled off the second, incorrect entry sticker. I will now religiously show my ITAS each time I enter and exit and if someone starts printing a new sticker I’ll try to...

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    Actually she would VERY happily covert and the family is not really bothered. It's more the mechanics of it. I am notionally catholic although I have no actual way to prove it. For her to take my religion would I think at least take 6 months of study, unless of course there are parishes here in...

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    well that's one way of looking at it. Let's try another way. The religion is mmaterial, I'm not religious and haven't seen the inside of a church/mosque or temple in 40 years. So if 10 minutes with an imam means we can marry legally in Indonesia, not really a problem. $130k in a bank account...

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    I'm not that bothered honestly. Which leads to its own problem that it's been SO long since I went to a church anywhere I doubt I could even prove my religion (catholic) or find a priest who'd marry us. Changing to her religion is easier although for reasons we'd prefer to be subject to the...

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    my understanding is you can do what you like with it as long as the money stays in the bank and if they come to check on you it's still there.

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    we will as soon as we work out who changes religion and how. The whole no-mixed-marriages thing is challenging, but that's a whole another topic.

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    I took my passport (and Indonesian fiancee) to the kantor immigrasi where she did all the talking. They agreed the second stamp was a mistake by the official and 'borrowed' my passport for a few days to follow up with the airport and fix the mess. in the meantime I've deposited the correct...

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    Also let's add to that - was I meant to do anything different when I left Indonesia? I just showed my passport and continued on my way. I do recall the original visa said the e-ITAS would also have a multiple re-entry permit (electronic again) issued automatically so I didn't worry about that...

    Second Visa Stamp after re-entering Indonesia on a 2nd home visa

    I obtained a 2nd home visa and entered Indonesia about a month ago. I got my e-ITAS, all good. Then I left for Singapore for two weeks and returned yesterday. I expected the original 5 year stamp in my passport would remain and I'd just be admitted, however the (very confused) immigration...
