    Visa Options for ex-WNI (Vitas, Kitas, Kitap)

    Hi Banana72 Do you mind I ask if you are on your 1st extension KITAP that converted from c318? Or what kind of KITAS you had? And now you have the unlimited KITAP? Sorry for the questions, I just want to see if you have similar case as mine. Probably you read the old post but I was told by the...

    Visa Options for ex-WNI (Vitas, Kitas, Kitap)

    Hi HappyMan True, I remember saw two different versions (Not sure if I can called it that, but it’s a 2 different UU, couldn’t recall what they are) regarding ex. Wni KITAP time requirement, one UU says ex Wni can get KITAP whenever once you get your KITAS. The second one is not even mention...

    Visa Options for ex-WNI (Vitas, Kitas, Kitap)

    Hi SamR You are right. It was around late 2019 / early 2020 when I was applying, I couldn’t find any option that fits for my case. Yes, under c317 option I only saw wife sponsor, underage Wni sponsor, and some others that not applied to me. If I recall correctly, the upper limit for it is 18...

    Visa Options for ex-WNI (Vitas, Kitas, Kitap)

    Hi Dannyboy Sorry for the late reply, I had my phone fixed. 1. That’s my have now, c318. YeahUnfortunately, they won’t process my application for KITAP before at least I renew my KITAS once and renew my passport. I still have more or less 13 months. I just don’t want to argue with them, so I...

    You are right HappyMan! Perhaps you experienced it too, but it easier to find gold than a solid verification and backing here. All regulations are based on the officers moods. Even if you showed them the written UU, they always have some kind of excuses to refute the UU. I’m leaning toward...

    Visa Options for ex-WNI (Vitas, Kitas, Kitap)

    Hi friends! I’m an 32 years old ex Wni, currently in Indo with C318 Repatriasi KITAS, unmarried sponsored by parents. I’m still undecided whether I want to become Wni. I hope friends can answer some of my questions and share your experience, more over perhaps have similar experience with me...

    Visa indeks 318 Repatriasi - Eks. Wni, unmarried, sponsor orang tua - Apa harus jadi Wni di akhir itap 5 tahun?

    You are right, they got strong argument based on premise that I’m allowed to stay here as long as down the line I’ll become Indo citizen. Now, I’m 60-70% leaning toward switching my KITAS. As long as matter of becoming Indo citizen is on my terms, where I can become one when I’m ready...

    My bad I meant to reply but some one called me and I needed didn’t click reply. No, not at all. That’s great if you already have some preference. Me too, regardless what the end goal is, my current goal is to get KITAP. At that time I came in with VOA, at nearing it expiration date plus I...

    Visa indeks 318 Repatriasi - Eks. Wni, unmarried, sponsor orang tua - Apa harus jadi Wni di akhir itap 5 tahun?

    Agree, as an ex Wni, it’s easier for us to blend in, and no one will try to charge us “bule rate”. Same here, I’m still uncomfortable to let people know that I’m an ex. Yes, me too! All kinds of reaction, the one I most dreaded of is hostility. Some time I wonder why the flying flamingo non Wnis...

    Yeah it’s sad that so many people have false sense of nationalism, and certain groups of people exploit that emotion. Not saying nationalism is bad, but too much of it will spoils everything. It’s like salt, a right amount makes food good, too much or too little makes the food uneatable. I...

    Visa indeks 318 Repatriasi - Eks. Wni, unmarried, sponsor orang tua - Apa harus jadi Wni di akhir itap 5 tahun?

    Yes, this part. It seems more reasonable and humane than the previous req’t for spousal KITAP. Let’s hope the gov’t / MPR becomes more humane in handling our visas. I agree that laws should be firm and fair, but also it need to be humane, because we are humans after all. No one wants to go...

    You are right. I’m not gonna fight them on this one. I’m planning to just renew my passport when I get my passport back (Update: my KITAS renewal is approved. Tomorrow gonna pick it up). Seems not worth it to fight them on this one. Not planning to get on their bad side bc of this one. Probably...

    Visa indeks 318 Repatriasi - Eks. Wni, unmarried, sponsor orang tua - Apa harus jadi Wni di akhir itap 5 tahun?

    If I remember correctly, I read it somewhere in UU, it says 2 years, and the officer also says 2 years. Try google “Perhukumham no. 43 Tahun 2015, Article / Pasal 53 Verse / Ayat 2”. Probably this one. Or unless they revised it or annulled it it should be still in effect. But you know the govt...

    Hi SamR Sorry for the long reply. Let’s hope it turn out well for all of us. From what I heard from the petugas here, they say spouse sponsor is easier, but of course it has its own challenges too. Let’s hope the petugas that help us not making things difficult. How’s your experience as...
