Permanent Stay Permit
(KITAP)

The permanent version of the KITAS. A KITAP is valid for five years, renewable, and is the closest thing to settling in Indonesia for good.

Resumen

About the KITAP

KITAP stands for the permanent stay permit. It is the step up from a KITAS for people who have already lived in Indonesia for a qualifying period and want a longer, more stable status.

A KITAP runs for five years at a time and can be renewed. It usually comes with smoother re entry, longer gaps between renewals and easier access to everyday admin such as banking and a local driving licence.
