I think it was a mistake . As far as I know it is still for unlimited time , if it is not cancelled .

But to check it further , can you tell us where did you get this information ?

Up to 10 years means you can only extend once, not twice.

That's bad, but we will only know for sure when the time comes to report for the 2nd time (or the tenth year after the first KITAP Unlimited was issued).

Sorry , maybe because you need to be registered before accessing , I cannot see it .

Could you take a screenshot or photo and post it here ?
 
New fees were updated on the Director Generals web site on the 24/12/2024 . All fees look to have risen almost 50 %, with a new 10 year extension option for Kitap and several new options for Merp/Exit- Re Entry Permits The Unlimited Kitap/Unlimited Merp is going to cost 23,000.000rp . 15,000.000rp for the Kitap and 8.000.000rp for the Merp.

Does the unlimited KITAP remain unlimited?
8 juta for a Merp? For how many years. Giving many a good reason not to even get a Merp.

I agree, why have to have to buy the right to come and go? If a person can live here unlimited, then they should be able to come and go freely!

From what I understand the unlimited kitap and merp are for life , they don't expire , jangka waktu yang tidak terbatas. The 8 juta merp is for life going by the new fee schedule . You still have to report to immigration every 5 years but there are no more fees . Not sure if the Merp is mandatory when applying for the unlimited kitap like it is for kitas renewal and conversion to kitap . I was told I didn't have to renew the 2 year merp unless I wanted to travel O/S when I converted/alhi status to Kitap .

Totally agree . But like everything in Indonesia , you want you pay . Was told I was entitled to local prices /services when I got my Kitap , Ktp and KK but still and I know I'll always will be treated and charged as a tourist.

Yea, you're right about that. It is a nice thought that after years and years of living here, that you somehow earned some respect. It's just not true! No matter how much you give, or help the local people, a foreigner is always a foreigner. It's a reality we just have to accept. Because we come from a Western country, we are considered rich. And just a walking ATM.
So enjoy your time here, and hopefully, you wont run out of money. 🤪🐒

Yes , both KITAP & Re-Entry Permit are for unlimited time .

The Re-Entry Permit was not mandatory , but some years ago Immigration released a Regulation making it automatically issued together with any new/extension issuance of a Residence Permit (ITAS, ITAP) .
