Differences Visa and Residence Permit You Should Know
E – VISA INFO Thursday 12 August 2021 03:00 WITA Illustration Differences Visa and Residence Permit You Should Know Visas and residence permits are two essential things that are important for the public to know, especially foreign nationals (WNA) guarantors or companies that want to bring in foreign workers (TKA). Basically, these two documents can serve as a permit for foreigners to stay in Indonesia for a certain time. However, there are some important differences that the public does not yet understand. Foreigners who are visiting Indonesia for the first time can only apply for a visa. A visa is a document that is proof that someone is allowed to enter a country. Foreigners are also allowed to carry out activities in the country according to the type of visa. The type of visa you have also determines how long a foreigner can stay in the country. “Meanwhile, a residence permit can only be applied for if the foreigner already has a visa, and the position is already in Indonesia,” said Head of the Public Relations Sub-Division of the Directorate General of Immigration, Achmad Nur Saleh. “If you enter using a visit visa, you will get a visit stay permit. While the limited stay visa, will get a limited stay permit. Permanent residence permits can only be obtained through status transfer from a limited stay permit,” he continued. This is the most noticeable difference for foreigners holding visas and residence permits. Visa holders in general can only use their visa for one time entry and stay within a certain time limit in the territory of Indonesia. If a foreigner leaves Indonesia when his visa has not expired, then the visa will be forfeited and cannot be used again. “ITAS holders can enter and leave Indonesia at any time, as long as the ITAS is still within the validity period. It’s different from a new visa that must be applied after leaving the Republic of Indonesia. Except for a visit visa for several trips, the provisions are different,” he said. Activities and Access Facilities for Foreigners While in Indonesia Although visas and residence permits have similarities in terms of activities or activities, they both have different scope of access to facilities. Foreigners holding limited stay permits and permanent residence permits have more opportunities. ITAS holders can apply for a residence certificate (SKTT), while ITAP holders can apply for an ID card. The SKTT can be used as a supporting document if the Foreigner wants to buy a private vehicle in his name and renew the STNK. Meanwhile, foreigners who already have an ID card will get access to public services that are almost equivalent to Indonesian citizens. “For the record, having an ITAP is not a benchmark for being able to become an Indonesian citizen. There are still other requirements that must be met according to the legislation. This is what the community also needs to understand,” concluded Achmad.

Ngurah Rai Immigration will soon deport a Russian citizen who refuses to self-isolate
E – VISA INFO Monday 19 July 2021 12:00 WITA Covid-19 vaccination Ngurah Rai Immigration will soon deport a Russian citizen who refuses to self-isolate The Immigration Office is prepared to deport a female foreign national from Russia, AN, 33, who was detained by the Badung Regency Sat Pol PP officers from where she was staying at the Serenity Twin Hotel, Jalan Batu Mejan Banjar Padang Linjong, Canggu Village, North Kuta District, Badung, on Thursday (8 /7/2021) ago. This afternoon, this Russian citizen has finished undergoing self-isolation and was also examined intensively by the Ngurah Rai Special Class I Immigration Office Investigator. She was escorted to the immigration office by the Badung Regency Sat Pol PP officers. AN is a Russian citizen who is thought to be traveling in a positive condition for Covid-19 and refuses to undergo self-isolation. The head of the Badung Regency Satpol PP, I Gusti Agung Ketut Suryanegara, explained that AN was known to be exposed to Covid-19 based on reports from a variety of agencies, including the Ngurah Rai Special Class I Immigration Office. This Russian woman, said IGA Suryanegara, was exposed to Covid-19 after undergoing a PCR swab test at Udayana Hospital, last Sunday (4/7/2021). After being confirmed positive for Covid-19 based on the PCR swab test, this foreigner is suggested to undergo self-isolation at the hotel where she’s staying, namely the Serenity Twin Hotel, Canggu Village. However, this foreign woman refuses to undergo self-isolation. AN actually often goes to public places and meets people, both within the hotel area and other locations in Badung. “So, for 5 days since being confirmed positive for Covid-19, Anzhelika Naumenok remains hanging around. She doesn’t want to be isolated in her room. In fact, this Russian foreigner invites people to communicate,” said IGA Suryanegara. Because she failed to heed the self-isolation and her actions endangered others, joint officers from elements of the Police, Immigration, Badung Health Service, and also the Badung PP Sat Pol immediately went down to secure AN from the hotel where she was staying. Next, she was taken to a quarantined hotel prepared by the Bali Provincial Government, namely the Ibis Hotel in Kuta, Badung. According to Suryanegara, when the joint team tried to secure her from being quarantined at the Ibis Kuta Hotel, this foreigner had a bit of fun. She also refused the presence of officers at her hotel. “Initially, at the location (Serenity Twin Hotel, ed) there were immigration officers and the Badung PP Sat Pol. However, AN did not want to be quarantined. She said the police had to be there, so this was immediately coordinated so that the police came to the location,” Suryanegara said. When the police officers arrived, then the foreigner wanted to be taken to the Ibis Kuta Hotel to be quarantined. AN was evacuated using an ambulance. At the Ibis Kuta Hotel, this Russian Caucasian is undergoing quarantine with a number of Covid-19 patients with other mild symptoms. This foreigner is known to have stayed at the Serenity Twins Hotel, Canggu village, for a month. Initially, these Russian Caucasians rarely socialized with other people. However, since being tested positive for Covid-19, he has been intensely meeting other foreigners. In fact, she left the hotel without wearing a mask. Meanwhile, the Head of the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Province of Bali, Jamaruli Manihuruk, emphasized that her party would take firm action against foreigners who violated it. “Later, we will check medically first. We will wait for the team to investigate first. However, if there is a violation, it is clear that we will take action,” said Jamaruli.

Antigen and PCR Test Result as requirements to enter Bali
E – VISA INFO Monday, 28 June 2021 04:00 WIB Governor of Bali Wayan Koster during a meeting with DPRD Bali Provincial Government requires domestic travelers who enter Bali by air, show COVID-19-free PCR test results. Denpasar – The Bali Provincial Government (Pemprov) requires domestic travelers (PPDN) who enter the Island of the Gods by air to show the results of a COVID-19-free PCR test. Meanwhile, the results of the COVID-19 test using GeNose are no longer valid in Bali. “So we are tightening the Bali entrance (or) the requirements to enter Bali via air transportation, we must use a PCR-based swab test. We are no longer allowed to use GeNose,” said Bali Governor Wayan Koster at the Bali DPRD Building, Monday (28/6/2021) Meanwhile, PPDN that travels by land/sea must use a rapid antigen test as a minimum. Koster hopes that those who pass this route can also use the PCR test because the results are better. Tests for GeNose on land/sea routes are also deprecated. Koster said that the policy was issued because he saw the increasing number of COVID-19 cases outside Bali. In Jakarta, said Koster, yesterday the figure reached 9,900 a day and the national total reached 21,000 cases. “So today I am issuing a new circular (requirements for entry to Bali) in accordance with the direction of the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs, the Minister of Health and also the Minister of Transportation so that Bali, which is already good, should not be damaged again,” he said. Koster said the development of community activities, especially the arrival of domestic tourists to Bali was quite good, even though COVID-19 cases had increased in the last few weeks. PPDN through air transportation is in the range of 8,000-9,000 thousand people per day. While PPDN by land/sea through Gilimanuk Port is around 10,500 people per day. “That is the condition we are facing today, so there is indeed a slight increase in cases. But that should not be because it shackles the economic activity of the community. The economic activity of the community is expected to run well and normally, but it must be orderly and disciplined to apply health protocols,” he hoped.

157 Chinese Citizens Visiting Indonesia are for Work Needs
E – VISA INFO Tuesday, 11 May 2021 02:30 WIB empty airport 157 Chinese Citizens Visiting Indonesia are for Work Needs The Director-General of Immigration at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) Jhoni Ginting revealed that the entry of 157 foreign nationals from China to Indonesia on Saturday (8/5/2021) was not for the purpose of traveling, but for work purposes. “All foreigners have fulfilled the immigration regulations with the types of visas and activities in accordance with Menkumham Regulation No. 26 of 2020, namely for work activities, not for tourist visits,” said Jhoni, Sunday (9/5/2021). All of these foreigners, said Jhoni, also passed health checks according to the protocol for the arrival of people from abroad determined by the Covid-19 Handling Task Force. Jhoni said the 157 Chinese citizens arrived using the China Southern Airlines airline CZ387 from Guangzhou at 05.00 WIB. The Plane Landed at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Jhoni also said that the arrival of foreigners to Indonesia was only allowed to carry out essential interests. “The arrival of foreigners to Indonesia is only permitted for purposes such as working on national strategic projects, vital objects, family unification, medical and humanitarian assistance, and transportation equipment crews,” he said. Deputy Chairman of Commission V DPR RI Syarif Abdullah Alkadrie said that regarding the arrival of Chinese citizens to Indonesia, people should not feel abandoned. This is because the government has banned homecoming, while foreigners are allowed to enter the country. “We support this policy, we just have to be in tune. People are prohibited from going home but tourist attractions are still open, flights from abroad will still enter,” he said. Syarif added that the ban on going home is not in the government’s interest. He hopes that the community will be patient and obey the prohibition so that there will be no new clusters later. “But because of the current pandemic condition, we ask the public to be patient. For the common interest. Do not let the virus move from one place to another so that a new cluster occurs,” he said. The opening of the Jakarta-Wuhan (China) flight route, continued Syarif, must also be closely monitored. This strict supervision was carried out so that the cases of the escape of Indian citizens who turned out to be positive for Covid-19 did not happen again. “This is closely monitored. If this happens, legal action and dismissal must be taken because this is very dangerous,” said Syarif. Syarif said that the strict supervision that must be carried out is a matter of isolation and health conditions that must be strictly enforced. Given that currently, positive cases of Covid-19 are surging in almost all over the world, including in Indonesia. “This means that the rules must be obeyed. He (the passenger) must follow the rules, for example, isolation or health conditions imposed,” said Syarif. “Because people are currently trying to comply with the rules on the prohibition of going home and limiting mobility during the Lebaran holidays,” he said. Cak Imin, the nickname of Muhaimin Iskandar, said that the Covid-19 Task Force must immediately provide an explanation of why foreign nationals are allowed to enter the country. This is to avoid the public’s perception that policies regarding the prevention of transmission of the Covid-19 virus do not apply fairly and thoroughly. “This condition confuses people who have limited mobility during Eid,” said the PKB general chairman. He also encouraged the Ministry of Health and the Covid-19 Handling Task Force to ensure that all foreigners and Indonesian citizens coming from abroad can comply with the rules of international travel health protocol during the pandemic. Meanwhile, Member of Commission IX of the DPR Netty Prasetiyani also highlighted the entry of Chinese citizens to Indonesia in the midst of the policy of prohibiting homecoming for the community as a less sensitive act that could invite the public questions. “Of course, the public will wonder why Chinese citizens are allowed to enter Indonesia, even though people are prohibited from going home and there are many blockages,” said Netty. He explained that so that this issue does not become a wild ball, the government must clearly explain to the public the reasons and their goals for entering Indonesia in the midst of the danger of a surge in Covid-19 cases.
