The news of the opening of Immigration Checkpoints (TPI) for several airports and seaports in Indonesia for foreigners has attracted foreign arrivals from various parts of the world, especially after the implementation of Free Tourist Visa (BVK) and Visa On Arrival (VOA). However, there are some foreigners who come to Indonesia using a Limited Stay Visa (Vitas). The Vitas users are required to report to the immigration office and convert their Vitas into a Limited Stay Permit (ITAS) a maximum of 30 days from arrival.The Sub-Coordinator of Public Relations of the Directorate General of Immigration, Achmad Nur Saleh, explained that based on Government Regulation Number 48 of 2021, the application for a Limited Stay Permit must be submitted within 30 (thirty) days after the entry sign is given. “This regulation is especially emphasized on foreigners who enter Indonesian territory using Vitas. According to public understanding, Vitas have a longer validity period, so there is no need to immediately go to the Immigration office. However, according to PP 48 of 2021, foreigners who enter Indonesia using Vitas are required to report to the Immigration office and convert them to ITAS no later than 30 days after arrival, "said Achmad.Meanwhile, a Visit Visa indexed B211 A is also valid as a visit stay permit. Foreigners who use this type of visa only need to come to the immigration office if they want to extend their residence permit."In addition, in PP No. 31 of 2013 Article 143 Paragraph (2) states, if a Limited Stay Permit is not submitted within the specified period, then a fee will be charged in accordance with the provisions of the legislation," he added.Therefore, Achmad urges foreigners and their guarantors to be aware and remember to take care of reporting and converting Vitas to ITAS. Limited Stay Permit is issued within 4 (four) working days after the foreigner reports and applies for a residence permit.  Source : https://www.imigrasi.go.id/id/2022/04/14/wna-yang-masuk-indonesia-dengan-vitas-wajib-konversi-ke-itas-sebelum-30-hari/

The government regulates the new tariffs for immigration services through Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 9/PMK.02/2022 concerning Types and Tariffs for Types of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) on Immigration Services Applicable to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia. This regulation is effective 60 days from its promulgation, which falls on Saturday (16/4/2022).Previously, the tariff for immigration services was regulated in Government Regulation (PP) No. 28 of 2019. This new PMK regulates tariffs for new services that have not been accommodated in PP 28 of 2019 as well as changes to several service rates.“There is a new immigration service that is mandated by the Job Creation Act and the tariff must be accommodated. In terms of visas, the only thing that changes is the tariff for the visit visa. For services that are not listed in the PMK, the tariff still refers to PP 28 of 2019, Visa on Arrival (VoA), for example, the tariff is still Rp. 500.000,-, as well as the extension. Nothing has changed,” explained Plt. Director General of Immigration, Widodo Ekatjahjana.A significant difference in this new PMK is the change in rates for a One-Trip Visit Visa. As of April 16, the Visit Visa is valid for 60 days at a rate that was previously USD 50, now costs Rp. 2.000.000,- for a Visit Visa (VK) other than a tourist destination. As for VK tours, foreigners have to pay Rp. 1.500.000,-. This rate includes the previous visa processing fee of Rp. 200,000,-. The good news is that a visit stay permit from this type of visa can be extended for the next 60 days at a cost of Rp. 2.000.000,-.“For a Limited Stay Visa, the terms and rates do not change. Still referring to the old rules,” said Widodo.Regarding the changes and new rules for residence permit service tariffs, Widodo further explained.“In this PMK, in addition to the pre-investment visit stay permit (ITK), many regulations are also set regarding limited stay permits (ITAS) not in the context of working for a second home. As of April 16 tomorrow, both have not been applied because the pre-investment Visit Visa and VITAS for the second house have not yet been submitted. This second home ITAS is a new service, the same as ITK for pre-investment. The new tariff that is already in effect is only a visit stay permit with a validity period of 60 days.”In short, although PMK Number 9/PMK.02/2022 regulates various kinds of immigration service tariffs, the tariffs imposed on Saturday (16/4) are only One-Trip Visit Visa, Tourist Visit Visa and Extension of a 60-day Visit Stay Permit. The application of other service tariffs is still waiting for the relevant legal product, or it has not been opened yet considering that the Covid 19 pandemic has not been declared over and Indonesia is still applying for a limited visa grant.RECAPITULATION OF TYPES AND RATE FOR TYPES OF PNBP RELATED TO PMK NO. 9/PMK.02/2022 AND PP NO. 28 YEAR 2019NOVISA TYPEPRICEUNITINFORMATION  1Visit Visa One-Trip Maximum 60 DaysRp2.000.000,00Per PersonPMK No.9/PMK.02/2022   2Single-Trip Visit Visa Maximum 180DayRp6.000.000,00 Per PersonPMK No.9/PMK.02/2022  3One-time Visit Visa in the Context of Travel for a Maximum of 60 DaysRp1.500.000,00Per PersonPMK No.9/PMK.02/2022   4Multiple Visit VisaTrip Times Calculated per YearRp3.000.000,00Per PersonPMK No.9/PMK.02/2022  5Current Visit Visa onArrival (VOA)Rp500.000,00Per PersonPP No. 28 Tahun2019 (UNCHANGED)   6Limited Stay VisaUS$150.00 Per applicationPP No. 28 Tahun 2019 (UNCHANGED)   7Limited Stay Visa Notin Order to Work for a Second HomeRp3.000.000,00Per applicationPMK No.9/PMK.02/2022    8Limited Stay Visa Not in Order to Work for a Second Home for Followers(Husband/Wife/Kids/Parents)Rp2.000.000,00Per PersonPMK No.9/PMK.02/2022  9Visit Stay Permit Validity Period Maximum 60 DaysRp2.000.000,00 Per applicationPMK No.9/PMK.02/2022   10Visit Stay Permits Valid for Maximum 180 Daysfor PreinvestRp6.000.000,00Per applicationPMK No.9/PMK.02/2022 11Extension of Visiting PermitValidity Period 30 daysRp500.000,00 Per applicationPP No. 28 Tahun2019 (UNCHANGED)    12Limited Stay Permits Not in the Context of Working for a Second Home with a PeriodMaximum Stay 5 YearsRp12.000.000,00Per applicationPMK No.9/PMK.02/2022   13Limited Stay Permit Not in the Context of Working for a Second Home For Followers (Husband/Wife/Children/Parents) with a Maximum Stay Period of 5 YearsRp3.500.000,00Per PersonPMK No.9/PMK.02/2022   14Permanent Stay Permit Not in the Context of Working for a Second House with a Maximum Stay Period of 5 YearsRp15.000.000,00Per applicationPMK No.9/PMK.02/202215Permanent Stay Permit Not in the Context of Working for a Second Home for Followers (Husband/Wife/Child/Parents) with a Maximum Stay Period of 5 YearsRp5.000.000,00Per PersonPMK No.9/PMK.02/2022   16Permanent Stay Permit Not in the Context of Working for a Second House with an Indefinite PeriodRp30.000.000,00Per application PMK No.9/PMK.02/2022   17Permanent Stay Permit Not in the Context of Working for a Second Home for Followers (Husband/Wife/Children/Parents) with No TermLimited Rp15.000.000,00Per Person PMK No.9/PMK.02/2022  18Re-entry Permit Validity Period of 5 (five) years Special for AreasSpecial Economics (SEZ)Rp3.250.00,00Per applicationPP No. 28 Tahun 2019 (UNCHANGED)  19Re-entry Permits Valid for a Maximum of 5 Years in the Context of a Second House Rp6.000.000,00Per application PMK No.9/PMK.02/2022   20Re-entry Permits are valid for a maximum of 5 years in the context of a second home for followers(Husband/Wife/Child/Parent)Rp1.500.000,00Per PersonPMK No.9/PMK.02/2022 Source : https://www.imigrasi.go.id/id/2022/04/17/siaran-pers-pemerintah-berlakukan-tarif-baru-layanan-keimigrasian-voa-dan-vitas-tidak-berubah/
