Biometrics at the immigration office

Since 29 May 2025 (Regulation IMI-417.GR.01.01/2025) every stay-permit extension — VOA, visit visas and all KITAS types — requires the applicant to attend the immigration office in person for photo, fingerprints, signature and interview.

What changed on 29 May 2025

Regulation IMI-417.GR.01.01/2025 requires every applicant to attend immigration in person for any stay-permit extension: VOA, visit visas and every KITAS type. The office takes your photo, fingerprints, signature and does a short interview.

You must personally take the queue ticket. By law, agents cannot attend or queue for you.
