Difficulty contacting new Immigration Office in Banyuwangi .

[Nicho]

I suggest you to ask your Kantor Imigrasi for the Whatsapp's number of the "Izin Tinggal" sector . Here in my city this communication channel worked perfectly (but only for written messages , I guess) .

I will be asking a lot of questions as it seems there has been a lot of changes to rules / requirements etc ..

From the rules below it seems that your KITAP will not be cancelled but you may be in a different trouble after 60 days (in the Forum since 2008 , I never heard of any foreigner in Court due to the Article 116) .

I was married for more than 10 years with a WNI and have a spouse KITAP and MERP valid until 2029. We got divorced and the AKTA CERAI was issued 20 months ago. I somehow thought that I only have to notify imigrasi during renewal of my KITAP, but it is actually within 60 days.

What will be the consequence if I report this too late? Do I run the risk of my KITAP being cancelled or a very high fine? In that case, it might be better using it up until 2029. By then, I might want to relocate anyway. Thanks for any advice!
