Repatriation KITAS 

The Repatriation KITAS (Visa) is a temporary residence permit designed for a very specific situation. It is intended for use by Indonesian citizens who have changed their citizenship to another nationality. In essence, the primary purpose of this visa is to facilitate the process of regaining Indonesian citizenship.

 

This visa is initially valid for one year and can be extended annually for up to a maximum of six years. Holders of the Repatriation KITAS also have the option to obtain a KITAP (Repatriation Permanent Stay Permit), which has a five-year validity period, after having a KITAS for just one year. They can choose to either extend their KITAS or apply for a KITAP after having held the KITAS for one year.
