The KITAS (Limited Stay Permit) to work in Indonesia is issued after the Work Permit approval from the Ministry of Manpower and a prior Visa Approval from the Directorate General of Immigration Office (Dirjen Imigrasi).
Validity
The duration of Work KITAS (Limited Stay Permit) depends on the length of the Work Permit issued to the applicant by the Ministry of Manpower. The maximum length of validity for the Work KITAS (Limited Stay Permit) is 12 months. The Work KITAS (Limited Stay Permit) with 1-6 months validity is non-extendable, and the 7-12 months validity can be extended 4 times. The extension is granted each time for the same period as the first KITAS.

During this process, the sponsor company will also pay the Government Fee of USD 1200 (Worker Levy) and USD 150 as an E-Visa Fee on behalf of the applicant.
- Once the Work Permit is approved and all the government fees are paid, the office of the Directorate General of Immigration (Dirjen Imigrasi) will issue an E-Visa in 3-5 working days.
- AJ Consultants will send a copy of the E-Visa to the applicant. Upon receipt of the E-Visa, the applicant can enter Indonesia. The validity of E-Visa is 90 days; within this period, the applicant must enter Indonesia and obtain the KITAS (Limited Stay Permit)
- Upon arrival in Indonesia, the applicant will submit the biometrics at the immigration checkpoint at the airport and will be issued KITAS by email within 1-2 days.
Note:
In case, due to some system error, if the applicant is not issued KITAS at the airport, then the applicant must hand over the original passport to AJ Consultants for further conversion of the E-Visa into KITAS (Limited Stay Permit) at the regional immigration office. During this process, the applicant will visit the Immigration office once for Biometrics and an interview. 3-4 days after the biometrics and interview, the immigration office will return the passport and the electronic KITAS to the applicant. The applicant is then free to travel from and to Indonesia for the period of KITAS validity.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your comment.
Yes, work visa C312 is open currently. Although if you residing outside Indonesia, you will need to get a recommendation letter from BKPM to start the work permit process.
Should you require further information on this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us on cs@ajconsultants.net.

Hi there, I am a C-312 visa holder. My wife and children are also foreigners. I would like to have them to come with me to Indonesia. My question is, what are the procedures for me to do for my family to enter Indonesia?
Dear Mr. Donny,
Thank you for your comment.
The same company from which you have sponsorship for your C312 visa need to apply for C317 E-Visa for your family members. Once they get the C317 E-Visa they can enter Indonesia and join you.
Should you require further information on this matter, please do not hesitate to contact on cs@ajconsultants.net.
