Moreover, it is not limited to Investing, Working, Missionary (religious), Study or training, Research, Joint Family, Repatriation, and Retirement.
Limited Stay Visa or in other words KITAS granted upon the authorization of the Directorate General of Immigration in Jakarta. Important to realize that prior approval is applied by the sponsor in Indonesia to the Directorate General of Immigration. Therefore, to expedite the authorization, it is advisable to have the sponsor in Indonesia also submit the application directly to the Directorate General of Immigration in Jakarta. A copy of the approval must be attached to the visa application. Another key point is that Limited Stay Visa can be extended in Indonesia.
