Criteria to apply for KITAP from KITAS

[roytoh]

Hi everyone

Wil like to inquire the above.
Someone said that I just have to hold kitas and do renewal thrice and I will be eligible to apply for KITAP

I'm holding on to investor kitas over here.

It depends on the type of your (K)ITAS .

Article 179 of PerMen no.22 Year 2023 - free translation
(1) The conversion of an ITAS to an ITAP for a foreigner investor , ... is granted provided that the foreigner concerned has been in Indonesia for at least 3 consecutive years from the date the ITAS was granted.

What if I hold a 2 years investor KITAS for some reason cannot be renew. Which has some account creation issue, and later I create another 2 years of investor KITAS

Does this breakage consider consective yeas?

Your KITAS will only reach the 3 consecutive years if you extend (renew) it .
Note : 'Extension' is the Immigration process' name

By the way , if you cannot extend it , you must request an EPO/Exit Only Permit (before the KITAS expiration day) to cancel the KITAS , otherwise you will have trouble to get a new Indonesian Visa later .

I'm not worried to lose my kitas as I'm from ASEAN country and we can stay there up to 30 days ...
issue is I cannot get the continuity and to qualify for KITAP

For me isnt very important but for Burmese which is my partner, it is important for her.

... for Burmese which is my partner, it is important for her.

I can't understand why , because KITAS and KITAP basically give us (foreigners) the same benefits .
