Visa and Residence Permit Regulations

Before arrival

ENTRY RULES

You need a C316 student visa index to enter Indonesia which can be obtained at the nearest Indonesian embassy or Consular Office in your country. The entire process to obtain a visa takes 2 months before your arrival in Indonesia. After you submit all the required documents, the Directorate of International Relations (DIA) will apply for your study permit to DIKTI (Directorate General of Indonesian Higher Education – Jakarta). Once issued, DIA will submit your student visa approval to the immigration office in Jakarta. If it has been approved, DIA will send you an approval letter and you can start applying for a student visa at the nearest Indonesian embassy or consular office in your country (takes 2 – 5 working days). Please do not book flight tickets before you receive visa approval notification from DIA.

After arriving

  1. Report it to DIA
    You must come to our office no later than two days after arrival and please bring your original passport.
  2. Report to the Police
    Within the first 24 hours after you arrive in Indonesia, you must obtain an STM/STMD ( Self Reporting Letter  – Self Reporting Certificate) from the police station closest to where you live. 
  3. Obtain a domicile letter
    Within a week after your arrival in Indonesia, you must obtain a domicile letter from the District Office.
