E31A vs. Kitas?
The E13A (Spouse) is a once only entry permit from the Director General approving your application for the Spouse Kitas . I had 14 days to get to immigration to convert to the 1 year temporary stay Kitas when I arrived in 2015 . I'd be on my way or getting in contact with Immigration ASAP .- Nicho

Finding permit status
Agents tend to forget whose working for who ! Keep on his back , he'll eventually do it to shut you up . Yeah the government seems to have an ongoing agenda to get as much $$$ out of us expats as they can . We're all millionaires as far as there concerned .- Nicho

Finding permit status
Another disadvantage of using an agent . The account would be in his name and you won't be able to access anything unless the agent gives you permission . I'd be demanding laminated copies of both or a PDF file by email .- Nicho

Seems to be a lot of variation in agent fees depending on where your from , what part of Indonesia your moving to , what type of Kitas / Kitap , where the agent is based etc etc . One well known agent quotes Rp52 to Rp59million for the Kias to Kitap conversion depending on Kitap type while...- Nicho

KITAS to KITAP conversion in the new evisa system
NO . The 10,500,000rp is for the Kitas to Kitap conversion if done yourself , which is a 5 year Kitap 7,000,000rp and a 5year Merp 3,500,000rp . An agent might charge you 5 times that . So 5 x 10,500,000rp = 52,000,000rp .- Nicho
