Sponsor registration at visa-online.imigrasi.go.co

Individual sponsorship normally takes longer to be processed and therefore longer turn around to get password. Might worth to consider having corporate sponsorship...

Hi, this happened to me the other day and after waiting for 1 day, I clicked on the "forgot password" link and made my new password come back to my e-mail address.

Hi,

I used to experience the imigrasion website with my indonesian wife.

Check that you are on the official website : https://visa-online.imigrasi.go.id/index.xhtml

When you are sure, sponsor has to choose the tab : "registration"

1)Sponsor introduction with basic identification documents (KTP, KK or passport) shall be required.

2)After imigration officer checked the WNI data, the sponsor get a password from visa-on line on the registered email.

As a personal experience, it took less than 24 hours to get password.

3) once you get the password, the sponsor has to go again to https://visa-online.imigrasi.go.id/index.xhtml

and click "Masuk" .

4) before you click "Masuk", sponsor must have all document scanned in Jpeg format, less than 5Mo per document.

You cannot begin and not finish the process of forwarding all documents. Everytime you disconnect without completing the whole process, The website will ask to start everything again,

5) Be carefull with the jetlag as the website of indonesian visa is only open in the indonesian working-hour (8am till 3pm)

6) last process, you will get 2 billing code by email. Billing code have to be paid within 5 indonesian working day. Thus, dont try to process visa on a friday...unless your billing code will stop in 3 days (week end aare counted for the sponsor, but not included in the imigration online process).

.......PNS computer needs weekend holydays in Indonesia.

Good luck with online public service.

@martinaston906, Thank you for all the information. My sister-in-law (our sponsor) found someone she knows in imigrasi that helped her get registered and apply for our visas.

We now have a C318 visa (repatriation) for my wife and a C317 visa for me. We are flying out of Dallas Fort Worth airport at around noon on Tuesday (1-Aug). Stop 3 hrs in Narita then to Soekarno-Hatta. I'm so tired of shipping, packing, cleaning house. I'm ready for a long sleep on the air plane

@rbrothers

Hello there,

This is a very good upcome!! Congratulations.

After C317 "entry visa" in Jakarta Airport, you will have 29 days to register and confirmed your "long term visa" in the local area you shall stay (Thamrin, Kuningan, jakarta kota.....),  referring with your long- term adress in Indonesia.

If I remember correctly, C317 is a minimum 1 year visa.

Read the bottom line (x4) of your evisa document, everything is explained down there.

From Amsterdam, i flight 24 hours till Soekarno Hatta, let me wish you a wonderfull nap in the plane, you deserve it !

Best regards.

Martin.

@martinaston906, thank you Martin. We're waiting for the Taxi to take us to the airport for our noon departure to Narita😀

@rbrothers

I wish you a very nice journey.

Any government or administrative info you shall need, feel welcome here, always !

Martin.

Well we made it safe and sound to Jakarta. Cleared customs with all our extra baggage which makes me happy. Had a lot of help from the young porters at the airport who pulled all our bags and pushed them through customs and out to where my wife's family was waiting (1AM local time!). All the kids I met in 1989 at my parent-in-law's 50 aniversary where now grown with their own kids. What a crowd!

One thing that didn't happen at the airport like I had read it would was that customs did not ask for my cell phone or it IMEA numbers. Went to the Telkomsel(?) and they didn't want to put a SIM in my phone, but wanted to sell me another. I declined and went online to  register my own IMEA numbers, but now I have to go to a customs branch near where I'll be living to get the phone completely registered so I can get an Indonesian SIM card. I'm in a hotel in Depok now with WiFi, so I'm using that for making phone calls and sending msgs. Luckly, because of the large family here we get chauffeured every where. Unfortunately, all of our time so far has been visiting the homes of this huge family group and going to Informa and Electronic City looking for fridge, washing machine, TV, and anything else we might need to take down to our house in Malingping (southern coast of Java).

What I really need is SLEEP!!

If I might be so bold as to suggest skipping buying the stuff for home.

I've just had a look around your intended home and it's guaranteed to have lots of local electronic shops. You'll pay less and add to your new town's local eccomony.

You might also consider buying a SIM card local to home. Some contracts have data packages local to where you buy the card, not all over the country. Yes, it's odd, but it happens.

The town you have chosen is small but it has a market for fresh meat and veg, and lots of Indomarets and Alfamarts so that's all your day to day shopping sorted.

fred, thanks for the suggestion to buy local. I hadn't actually thought of that. I'll look into what's available. We will be driving down there next week and stopping by Serang to register our visas and what ever they decide they need.

I'm really relieved to finally be here. Unfortunately, we've had so many relatives bringing food I'm gaining back any weight I might have lost with the stress of packing, shipping, etc. to just get here.

Will check back in a few days.

Bob
