Yes, i did check my Spam folder too, but nothing. I guess so, was delayed and probably forgotten.Correct, in JKT they made it compulsory.
Obvious question; spam folder? Could be delayed with Lebaran holiday etc.
I'm currently converting my spousal KITAS to KITAP and I had a visit today from Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi.
Three officers turned up with no warning and said they needed to check a few things. I must admit, I was a bit concerned. I hadn't heard of Dirjen doing a home visit (my local Kanim had come earlier in the process, as expected) and three officers seemed excessive unless they were expecting trouble of some sort.
In the end it was fine - they asked the same questions as Kanim had (plus asking if I'd submitted all the necessary documents, which obviously I had or I wouldn't have got this far), took photos and took off, but it's left me scratching my head. Has anyone else had this?
P. S. Many thanks for the guide to this process on this site. It was a great help.
There are many people like you, with a spouse sponsored KITAP in a non officially working capacity, present on this forum.
Don't worry too much.
SosBud to KITAS within Indonesia is not possible anymore. Therefore, the foreigners were told to apply Telex VISA, pick up VITAS overseas (e.g. Malaysia, Singapore) and then apply for KITAS after being back in Indonesia.
The Budaya Sosial Visa CANNOT BE CONVERTED to Family Kitas
I had a KITAS family Visa and because expired last 11 th April, I tried to find information on the forum about how to apply again for a new KITAS Keluarga. Reading the forum and the posts of some people about this topic, I had clear there was two ways to go, applying for the Telex to Jakarta...www.expatindo.org
The weird thing is that we never got an official communication that the 'SosBud route' would not be accepted anymore. Personally I have never seen a Ruling or Procedure or so from Immigration that VITAS is the (only) way to go.
