Start with your question.

Start with your main activity: a short visit, employment, investment, study or joining family. Then check the corresponding visa category, its permitted activities and your eligibility. Length of stay alone does not determine the right visa. Tell us your nationality, intended activity, arrival date and current status so we can identify the relevant options.

ITAS is the Indonesian limited stay permit. KITAS is the familiar term used for its associated card or documentation. They are commonly used interchangeably in conversation; they do not describe two separate immigration pathways.

ITAS provides limited-stay status for an approved purpose. ITAP is permanent-stay status available to eligible categories of foreign nationals. ITAP is not citizenship, and moving from ITAS to ITAP requires a qualifying basis and an approved application.

Family-based immigration pathways exist for qualifying relationships, including certain spouses and children. The correct route depends on the principal person's status and supporting family documents. Each family member's permission should be checked separately, including any intention to work.

Some categories allow an in-country change of status, but this is not available from every entry or stay arrangement. Before making plans, check the exact visa or permit you hold, its expiry date and the category you want to move to. Do not assume that buying a flight or registering a company establishes eligibility.

No. The relevant Indonesian authority decides the application. We can help assess the route, prepare documents and coordinate the administrative process. Any quote should separate the agreed service from the authority's decision.

No. An ITAS is granted for a particular purpose. Work activity must fit the immigration permission and any applicable foreign-worker requirements. Before starting, check the employer, role and actual duties together with the permit basis.

RPTKA means Rencana Penggunaan Tenaga Kerja Asing, the plan for employing foreign workers. Approval forms part of the employer's obligations where required. The Indonesian employer handles its application, with administrative assistance if engaged; an individual worker does not obtain it independently of the employment arrangement. Some situations have exemptions that must be checked.

DKPTKA is the compensation fund associated with employing foreign workers where applicable. Whether it is due depends on the employer and the applicable rules. It is a separate question from visa fees, service fees and immigration permission.

Share ownership, a corporate position and actual work are separate questions. Review the shareholding, director or commissioner role, daily duties and immigration basis together. Certain exemptions may apply, but being an owner does not create unrestricted permission to perform every job.

Review the existing employment and immigration documents before starting the new job. The new employer, position and timing may require new or updated approvals. Give both employers enough time to coordinate the transition and confirm the required sequence.

A specific E33G remote-worker pathway is available for eligible applicants carrying out work for a company established outside Indonesia. It has documentary and income requirements, including an overseas employment agreement. It is not a general permission to take an Indonesian job or perform unrelated activities. Check the official category and assess tax questions separately.

Not necessarily. Meetings, technical tasks, training, installation and daily operational work can fall into different categories. Describe what you will physically do, for whom and for how long before choosing the visa or employment arrangement.

PT PMA is the commonly used term for an Indonesian limited liability company with foreign investment. The company must have an eligible business activity, the appropriate ownership structure and the required registration and licensing. Incorporation and permission to operate are connected but separate steps.

Not solely because you are a foreign investor. Some business activities allow full foreign ownership, while others have restrictions or conditions. Check the actual activity and applicable investment rules before choosing shareholders. A nominee should not be used as a substitute for that review.

KBLI is Indonesia's classification of business activities. The code should describe what the business actually does. It is used when reviewing licensing, investment eligibility and related requirements. Select the activity first, then check the current classification and any relevant conversion from older codes.

An NIB is the business identification number issued through OSS. Depending on the activity and its risk level, additional standards, licenses or approvals may be required. Check the complete requirements for each activity and location before opening the business.

No. A planned investment value and the capital actually paid into a company are different concepts. The relevant thresholds and calculation basis must be checked for the activity and proposed structure. Ask for those figures to be stated separately in your setup advice or quotation.

No, the introduction of KBLI 2025 does not automatically invalidate an existing business license. BPS explains that conversion may be handled automatically when the substance of the business is unchanged. A change in business purposes or scope may require action through the relevant systems. Review the conversion applicable to your business before making amendments.

Keep licensing aligned with the actual activities, organize accounting records and identify recurring reporting obligations. Changes to shareholders, officers, addresses or activities may also require updates. Incorporation is the beginning of the administration, not its completion.

A foreign individual cannot hold Hak Milik, Indonesia's freehold land title. Other rights or contractual arrangements may be available subject to eligibility and the property. Before committing, identify the exact right being offered and who would legally hold it.

Hak Pakai is a registered right to use land, subject to the terms of the grant and applicable rules. Eligible foreigners may use this framework for certain residential property. It is different from Hak Milik and from a lease; the property, holder, term and conditions need to be checked.

An Indonesian legal entity may hold HGB, the right to build, where the applicable conditions are met. A PT PMA is an Indonesian company, but its activities, licensing and the intended property use must still be appropriate. Holding shares in a company is not the same as personally owning its land right.

Check the lessor's authority, underlying title, permitted use, access, lease term, payment schedule and termination conditions. Renewal, transfer and improvements should be addressed clearly in the agreement. Paying for a long term does not by itself turn a lease into a registered land title.

Do not treat another person's name on a title as proof that you own the property. A nominee arrangement can create significant legal and enforcement risks. Ask an appropriately qualified property professional to assess lawful structures before you sign or pay.

Permission to occupy a property and permission to operate accommodation are different matters. Check the land right or lease, zoning, building approvals and the relevant business licenses before advertising paid stays. A residential purchase or lease should not be assumed to authorize commercial use.

Yes. Accounting and business-administration support are delivered by Perwira Visa's own staff within the agreed scope. Specialist work that requires a particular professional qualification should be identified separately before the engagement begins.

It can include organizing transaction records, categorizing income and expenses, reconciling bank activity and maintaining supporting documents. The agreed scope should state the reporting period, transaction volume, information you must supply and the reports to be delivered.

No. Accounting records the business's financial activity. Tax work applies the relevant rules to that activity. A scope of work should distinguish bookkeeping, tax administration, specialist advice and representation, and identify who is responsible for each.

Yes. Start by identifying the periods involved and gathering bank statements, sales records, invoices and expense evidence. The team can then assess missing information and agree a practical catch-up scope before routine monthly work begins.

Payroll administration may be included in the agreed scope. Confirm the employee information, reporting responsibilities, approval process and any tax or employment-related work separately so that each task has a clear owner.

Agree the reports and delivery schedule before work starts. Depending on the engagement, these can include information on income, expenses, cash, receivables and payables. Management reporting should not be described as an independent audit unless that separate service is actually engaged.

No. Perwira Visa helps clarify the requirement and introduces an appropriate third-party web-development professional. The professional provider scopes and performs the technical work. Perwira Visa may coordinate the wider business context where appropriate.

The confirmed scope can include a new website, domain and hosting registration, migration, maintenance, backups, analytics, basic SEO, updates and redesign. Availability, deliverables and ongoing support are agreed with the provider for the specific project.

The arrangement should preserve the client's ownership and appropriate administrative access to important digital assets and accounts. Agree the domain registrant, account ownership, handover and backup access before work starts. Third-party software and other licensed materials remain subject to their applicable licenses.

Yes, where technically feasible. The provider should first review the website, hosting, domain configuration and dependencies. The scope should identify what is kept, what is changed and how redirects, content and essential access will be handled.

They should be agreed explicitly. Confirm which updates are covered, who monitors backups, how a restore is requested and what support period applies. A website-development project does not automatically include indefinite ongoing maintenance.

No. Basic SEO can cover clear page titles, descriptions, headings, internal links, sitemap and crawlability. Rankings, traffic and enquiries depend on many factors and should not be promised as guaranteed outcomes.

No. Describe the current setup without sending passwords or account credentials. If access is needed later, agree a suitable access method with the development professional and provide only the permissions required for the work.

Choose around your daily routine. Compare access to work, schools, healthcare, shops and transport, then test actual journeys. Mataram, the west coast, South Lombok and the Gilis offer different living patterns. Try the area before making a long-term property commitment.

For newcomers, a short rental can make it easier to assess access, internet, water, noise and daily travel. Visit a prospective home at different times and ask about seasonal conditions. This is a practical way to learn the area before negotiating a longer agreement.

Immigration and local population administration are separate systems. Foreign residents may need to complete relevant Dukcapil registration, including SKTT where applicable, as well as address or other updates. Check the steps relevant to your status and place of residence after arrival.

Test the connection at the actual property, ideally at the hours you expect to work. Ask which provider and package are active, check upload as well as download performance, and test a mobile backup. Coverage elsewhere in the same town does not confirm the connection at that house.

You can begin with a description of your plans, nationality, current location and immigration status. Do not send identity documents through the general enquiry form. The appropriate document list and a suitable transfer method can be agreed after the initial discussion.
