    You will get your ITAS in your email once you have reported yourself to OIA UGM upon arrival in Yogyakarta. Thus, it is crucial that you come to OIA UGM to complete all the immigration processes when you arrive in Yogyakarta. 

    As ITAS is in the form of electronic document/soft copy, it is accessible anytime and anywhere. Wherever you go, you can show this ITAS to Immigration officers or other authorities without the obligation of keeping the physical card that is prone to getting lost.

  • ITAS holders are required to apply for EPO (Exit Permit Only) before leaving Indonesia. EPO will inactivate your ITAS and therefore you will need a new visa to enter the country in the future. You need to apply for EPO by yourself at the Immigration Office where you are registered (Immigration Office Yogyakarta). EPO must be processed immediately prior to your departure date. You can start processing your EPO two weeks prior to your departure date.

    Following are the documents that you need to apply for your EPO:
    1. Original passport
    2. Copy of passport
    3. Copy of passport page with your ITAS stamp
    4. Printed ITAS
    5. Copy of flight ticket
    6. Immigration forms (you will get this at the Immigration Office)
    7. Sponsor letter (from OIA UGM)
    8. Copy of Sponsor ID

    Once you submit all these documents, you will be handed a receipt with the pick-up date on it. On the stated date, go back to Immigration Office and pick up your passport with EPO stamp in it. Check the stamp to make sure that it is the correct date of your departure.

    Important: You can leave Indonesia from any port in any city (for example, you want to leave Indonesia from Jakarta or Denpasar, Bali). However, please be informed that you still have to pick up your passport in Immigration Office in Yogyakarta within seven days prior to your departure date.

    Procedure:

  • Report to OIA upon Arrival in Yogyakarta

    International students are required to report to Office of International Affairs UGM (Address: Bulaksumur F12-13, UGM Campus, Sleman, D. I Yogyakarta, Indonesia – Google Maps: http://bit.ly/OIAUGM) maximum one week after arrival in Indonesia. The purpose is mainly to convert your VITAS into ITAS. This process is MANDATORY because VITAS will expire in 30 days after student’s arrival and it means you will stay in the country illegally (overstay) if you do not immediately convert it to ITAS.

    At OIA, you have to complete a number of required documents with the assistance of OIA staffs. After the completion of all documents, OIA will help you deliver your documents to the local Immigration Office in Yogyakarta and notify you once the document is ready.

    Overstay

    If you stay in Indonesia for longer period than the validity of your visa or stay permit, it is considered as overstay. Example:
    1. You entered Indonesia on the 1st of September using the visa on arrival which is valid for 30 days. It means that the validity will be until 30th of September and each day after that date would count as ‘overstay’.
    2. You entered Indonesia on 1st of September using VITAS that is valid for 30 days. Until the 30th day of your stay, you have not started processing the conversion of your VITAS to ITAS. As long as you do not process your ITAS, each day after the visa expiration would count as overstay.
    If the overstay is 60 days or less, the consequence is paying fine. As of 2016 regulation, the fine is Rp.1.000.000 per day. However, if the overstay exceeds 60 days, there might also be further investigation from Immigration, deportation, blacklist to re-enter Indonesia in certain period, and other unfavorable consequences. WARNING: Failure to fulfil the above administrative process and all the consequences due to overstay will be your own responsibility. Please consult with OIA UGM shall you have any inquiries regarding the visa and immigration matters.
