KITAS is given to the expatriate who is being employed as an ‘Expert’ worker for a company (company must be an Indonesian company or registered in Indonesia) and is considered to be a limited stay visa. If the expatriate is joining an Indonesian spouse in the country, that spouse can sponsor the expatriate and KITAS merely becomes the first step to full citizenship. In terms of a company, only foreign companies that are investing a large amount of money in the country can apply for KITAS.
Regardless of the intention of applying for KITAS, it is a necessary step to take before the expatriate can legally lease a home in the country. Until such time that KITAS is approved, the expatriate will have to live in temporary dwellings. His household goods will also be held by customs until KITAS has been finalised and approved. The process should take about 30 days.
