Emergency Stay Permit (Bridging Visa) Service
Our Emergency Stay Permit (Bridging Visa) Service provides a fast and reliable solution to obtain a temporary legal stay in Indonesia. This service is designed for expatriates whose current visa or stay permit is expiring, allowing them to remain in the country legally while their application for a new visa (e.g., KITAS) is still being processed by the Directorate General of Immigration.
Indonesia's "Bridging Visa" or Transition Stay Permit is a critical new policy designed to prevent overstay penalties for foreign nationals who are in the process of extending or changing their visa status. This permit is a legal buffer, granting you a temporary stay for up to 60 days, even if your existing visa has expired. It is a vital tool for ensuring that your stay in Indonesia remains legal and uninterrupted during the administrative period required for a new visa or stay permit to be finalized.Without a Bridging Visa, an expatriate whose visa expires while a new application is still pending is considered to be overstaying. Overstaying, even for a single day, can result in severe fines of IDR 1,000,000 per day and, in some cases, deportation or being blacklisted from re-entering the country. Our service is designed to be a rapid response solution, ensuring all documents are prepared and submitted correctly and on time to avoid these costly and damaging penalties.
