Vue d'ensemble
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.
