Passport Mutation

Our Passport Mutation service provides expert assistance for expatriates who have renewed their passport while holding a valid Indonesian stay permit (KITAS or KITAP). This essential service ensures that your new passport details are officially updated in the immigration database and your stay permit remains valid, preventing issues at immigration checkpoints and during future visa applications.

When an expatriate renews their passport, the new passport is issued with a different number and details. However, the valid KITAS or KITAP is still legally tied to the old passport number in the immigration system. This discrepancy is a significant legal issue that must be rectified through a "passport mutation" or "alih paspor" procedure with the local immigration office. Failure to complete this process can lead to complications, including:Denial of entry or departure from Indonesia.Confusion and delays at airport immigration counters.Complications during the renewal or extension of your stay permit.Our service eliminates the stress and confusion of this bureaucratic process.
