KITAP
Multiple Exit Re-Entry Permit (MERP) - 2 Year KITAP Extension
This service covers the processing of the Multiple Exit Re-Entry Permit (MERP) for foreigners holding a Permanent Stay Permit (KITAP). MERP allows KITAP holders to freely exit and re-enter Indonesia during the validity period without needing a visa for each entry.
The Multiple Exit Re-Entry Permit (MERP) is a mandatory immigration authorization for KITAP holders who wish to travel in and out of Indonesia without interruption to their residency status. Without a valid MERP, any departure from Indonesia automatically cancels the KITAP, leading to a complete restart of the residency process.For KITAP holders, MERP is typically issued for 1 year or 2 years, depending on eligibility and internal immigration assessment. The MERP is stamped or digitally recorded in the passport by the local Immigration Office (Kantor Imigrasi) and must always remain valid during international travel.This service ensures a smooth, compliant, and monitored application process by handling administrative submissions, coordinating with immigration, assisting with biometric appointments, and tracking the application until the MERP is issued.Key Characteristics & FeaturesValidity: 2-Year Validity MERP — Standard option under KITAP statusEligibility: The applicant must hold a valid KITAPPassport and stay permit must meet minimum remaining validity requirements.Immigration may request additional documents or interviews.Mandatory for International Travel: Leaving Indonesia without a valid MERP automatically cancels the KITAP.CoverageThis service includes:Administrative preparation and submissionMonitoring and coordination with the Immigration OfficeAssistance with biometric appointment schedulingPassport collection and MERP issuance confirmationImportant NotesProcessing time may vary based on Immigration workload and system conditions.MERP validity cannot exceed KITAP validity.Immigration may request additional supporting documents or explanations.Any government fees are billed separately.
