Visa Agent

A visa agent assists foreigners with visa applications, extensions, and permits (such as KITAS/KITAP). They prepare necessary documents, ensure compliance with immigration laws, and act as intermediaries with immigration offices to streamline the process and avoid complications.

Visa Agent Legalities

Visa agents operate under several key laws related to immigration and business operations. Here are the main legal frameworks governing their activities:

• Immigration Law No. 6 of 2011: Regulates visa types, stay permits (KITAS/KITAP), entry/exit procedures, and penalties for immigration violations. Visa agents must comply when assisting clients.
• Law No. 25 of 2007 on Investment: Governs foreign investment, relevant for agents helping with business visas and permits for foreign nationals.
• Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation No. 24 of 2016: Provides detailed guidance on visa issuance, extensions, and stay permits.
• Regulation No. 3 of 2020 on Immigration Permits: Focuses on technical procedures for visa applications, permits, and entry/exit regulations.
• Business Licensing Law (Omnibus Law) - Law No. 11 of 2020: Ensures visa agencies are properly licensed under streamlined business operation regulations.
• Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower: Covers work permits and employment regulations for foreigners, relevant for agents handling work visas.
• Ministry of Finance Regulations: Visa agents must follow tax regulations, including reporting service taxes (PPN) and income tax.

These laws ensure visa agents operate legally when assisting with immigration and related services.

Visa Agent Fees

Visa processing fees charged by the government are regulated, there is no regulated cost for the service fees charged by private visa agents, which may vary depending on the complexity of the case and the services provided.
