E30A — Student Visa - KITAS (Index E30A)

The Student Visa (Index E30A) is a temporary stay permit (KITAS) specifically for foreign nationals enrolled in primary, secondary, or non-formal educational institutions in Indonesia. This visa is designed for students attending schools, language courses, or skill-based training programs that fall outside the scope of higher degree programs. It provides a stable residency status for the duration of the student's enrollment, typically issued for one or two years, with options for extension. The visa allows students to focus on their academic pursuits while living in Indonesia, and it grants them the same benefits as other long-term residents, such as the ability to open local bank accounts.

This visa is essential for international families moving to Indonesia who wish to enroll their children in local or international schools. Applicants must be sponsored by the educational institution where they are enrolled, which must be formally registered in the Indonesian immigration system. While the visa allows for educational activities and limited travel, it strictly prohibits the holder from engaging in unauthorized employment or receiving wages from Indonesian entities. It serves as a comprehensive solution for students of all ages to legally reside and study in the country, ensuring they remain in good standing with local immigration authorities throughout their academic journey.
