KITAP (Permanent Stay Permit)

KITAP is the Indonesian permanent stay permit. It is issued after several years of continuous KITAS on eligible routes — most commonly spouse of an Indonesian citizen, long-term investor, or retirement. It is valid for 5 years and can be renewed. KITAP eligibility depends on your prior KITAS history and sponsor — Visio confirms this before starting the filing.

Case-by-case. Sponsor readiness and prior KITAS history drive timing.

What happens after you apply

1. You pay for the service and upload your documents in your secure Visio account.
2. A specialist reviews your documents and contacts you if anything needs to be fixed.
3. We submit the application and keep you updated by email and WhatsApp.
4. When the visa is issued you receive it in your account and by email.

Payment & prepayment

Payment is taken upfront before we submit the application. It covers government fees and our team's work. For complex cases (KITAS, PMA, C12) part of the payment may be non-refundable once filings start - we always tell you before you pay.

Human review

This is a complex case. Before the final invoice your application is reviewed by a Visio specialist: we check eligibility, documents and timing. If the case doesn't qualify we tell you before any filings start.

Risk note

High complexity. KITAP requires an unbroken KITAS history on an eligible route. If prior KITAS was cancelled or on the wrong route, the application will not qualify — Visio confirms this before any filings start.

Refunds & delays

Government fees are non-refundable once the application has been filed. The service portion can be refunded if we have not started work yet. Processing times are estimates - Indonesian immigration may delay decisions and Visio is not liable for those delays.

Visio cannot guarantee approval - visa decisions are made by Indonesian immigration authorities. We work with local visa and legal partners where required. Visio is not an official immigration partner.
