Hi,
A little history first. I have lived in indonesia before, for around 7 years. Left mid 2016 for work in my home country. It was supposed to be a long term thing so i cancelled my kitap when i left. Whats done is done, im not here to be told what i should have done, but i want to know what i can do to get back easily and back to kitap status once again.
I see everyone seems to go the sosbud to kitas route. I tried it before, but got high tailed to singapore to go through the 317 visa route. So i want to avoid the politics and try the 317 to kitas and finally kitap route.
First off can i get the 317 visa if my wife is in indonesia, and im in my country?
Second thing is, once u have my 317 visa, can i get it converted to kitas in medan, or does it have to be done in jakarta?
Thats all for now. Im only planning to start the move about mid 2017, so there is still plenty time to figure it out.
Thank you
