Limited Stay Permit Card (Kitas) Management Services
A KITAS is a card issued to foreign nationals who will be staying in Indonesia for several months. The validity period of the KITAS varies from 6 months, 1 year, or 2 years, and it can be extended. Holders of this card do not need to renew their visa every month.
KITAS (Permit for Limited Stay Permits), or more precisely, ITAS (Permit for Limited Stay Permits), is no longer a card, but a soft copy. Since May 2, 2016, the Directorate General of Immigration has innovated online services for granting limited stay permits.
However, because the term KITAS is still more popular, we still use it. ITAS processing services are one of our services at izinmubarak.com.

KITAP or Permanent Residence Permit Card is a document required by certain administrative agencies/organizations to identify a citizen, especially a foreigner who chooses to reside in the jurisdiction of the Republic of Indonesia.
The KITAP visa is the most comprehensive and cost-effective visa. It is an identity card that can be applied for at any time for a longer stay in Indonesia.
Applications for KITAS (limited stay permit card) and KITAP (permanent stay permit card) are submitted to the Head of the Immigration Office or the designated Immigration Officer whose work area covers the Foreigner's place of residence.
