This all very confusing. Above you say a person needs $2000 a month. Then you add on $3000 in your bank. Isn't the $2000 a month the same as if that's what your bank statement says? Where do you get the $3000 extra?My former agent was charging 8jt (in 2022) , and asked 45jt for the KITAP (the agent himself suggested me to continue with the KITAS) .
But maybe now with the online system procedures this distortion had been corrected , as my former agent implied that it was more difficult to get the KITAP (compared with the KITAS) from Immigration .
The US$5000 per month proof is the requirement to be eligible for the Retirement KITAS & KITAP .
PerMen no.11 Year 2024
Article 61
(1) Application for a temporary stay visa for elderly aged 55 years or over ... (must include) :
c. proof of having living expenses for himself/herself and/or his/her family while in Indonesia; (now US$2000 per month)
(2) ... proof of income or allowances with a value of US$3,000 per month.
Poster's Note : The above refers to the Visa , but also applicable to KITAS & KITAP
Example : If you have only a monthly pension of US$1'500 , you need US$3'500 per month more in the bank to cover the total $5k per month, meaning :
a) For an one year KITAS you would need a bank proof of US$42'000 ($3'500 x 12) ;
b) For a 5 years KITAP it would be a bank proof of US$210'000 ($3'500 x 60) .
Note : This is how I interprete the rule (because when I had the Retirement KITAS I did not have any monthly income , so I presented a bank proof only , at that time it was required only US$1'500 per month, meaning a $18'000 bank proof for the KITAS) .
Where does it say you need $5000, It says you need $2000 a month in my eyes?
And where does it say you have show proof of income for Five years 60 months?
This math has my head spinning!



Where do you get the $5000 a year, when everyone is only having to show $2000 or $3000 for the yearly Kitas permit?
