Follow the correct procedure by updating your new address
If you are a KITAS/KITAP holder living in Indonesia and have recently moved to a new address, reporting this change is a crucial step to keep your stay permit valid.
Avoid any legal issues by following the correct procedure as laid out by Indonesian immigration law.
Why You Have to Report Your Address Changes?
According to Article 71 Letter a of Law No. 6 of 2011, foreign nationals are required to report any changes in their residential address to the relevant authorities.
This ensures your information is up-to-date and that your permit reflects your current location.
Failure to comply could lead to fines or penalties, so it’s important to keep that in mind and act quickly.
