The definitive long-term residence status for committed foreign residents of Indonesia — valid for five years and renewable indefinitely.
The KITAP (Kartu Izin Tinggal Tetap) is Indonesia's Permanent Stay Permit — the highest level of legal residence available to foreign nationals. Valid for five years and renewable without limitation, it effectively grants indefinite residency to those who have built a meaningful life in Indonesia. KITAP holders benefit from a Multiple Exit & Re-entry Permit (MERP), lighter annual reporting obligations, and significantly easier access to everyday services compared to KITAS holders.
Eligibility typically comes after holding a KITAS consecutively for three to four years (for investor or work routes), or after approximately two years of qualifying marriage to an Indonesian citizen. We assess your full KITAS history and timeline, identify the strongest eligibility basis, and manage the entire application — so your transition to permanent status is handled with the same care as every permit before it.
We audit your complete KITAS history — permit types, dates, consecutive validity — to confirm your eligibility basis and identify any gaps that need addressing before filing.
We compile and prepare your full KITAP dossier: prior KITAS pages, sponsor documentation, income or investment proof, and any additional declarations required by immigration.
We file with the immigration office and manage all follow-up correspondence, biometric appointments, and status tracking on your behalf throughout the processing period.
Your Permanent Stay Permit card is issued. We brief you on the five-year renewal window and MERP usage so your status is never interrupted.
KITAP eligibility hinges on the accuracy of your KITAS history. With 10+ years of permit management, we know exactly what immigration officers look for.
KITAP applications have multiple touchpoints. We reply within 2 hours, Mon–Sun, so no stage of the process is ever left waiting.
KITAP is not just a permit — it is peace of mind. We make sure your transition to permanent status is seamless and that renewal never catches you by surprise.
Share your KITAS history with us and we will confirm your eligibility and map out the exact steps to KITAP — no obligation, reply within 2 hours.
