Everyone must pay attention to this information. The Indonesian Immigration Department continues to increase its inspection efforts on visa compliance, with an increased frequency of inspections, mostly in the form of random raids, without notifying the inspected objects in advance. Many foreign nationals living and working in Indonesia have undergone surprise inspections, and if there are discrepancies in visa type or purpose, they may face high fines, deportation, and even prosecution or imprisonment.
In addition to the exhibition site, the immigration bureau’s surprise inspections will also focus on residential and office areas. Residential areas such as apartments, villas, etc., while office areas include office buildings, street facing shops, project sites, and factory parks. If Chinese nationals are concentrated in these areas, such as PIK, PIK 2, and Central Park in Jakarta, the probability of being checked will be higher.
In order to ensure the legality and compliance of all visas, we have compiled a comprehensive interpretation of various types of Indonesian visas, including their applicability, required documents, processing cycles, validity periods, and renewals. Investors in need, remember to bookmark it~
