THE INDONESIAN Government regulates the new tariffs for immigration services through the Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 9/PMK.02/2022 concerning Types and Tariffs for Types of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) on Immigration Services Applicable to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia.
Previously, immigration service tariffs were regulated in Government Regulation (PP) No. 28 of 2019. Meanwhile, this new PMK regulates new service rates that have not been accommodated in PP 28 of 2019 as well as changes to several service rates.
“There is a new immigration service that is mandated by the Job Creation Act and the tariff must be accommodated,” said Acting Director General of Immigration, Widodo Ekatjahjana in a written statement.
He added that this regulation was effective 60 days from its promulgation, which was set on Saturday (4/16). For example, Visa on Arrival (VoA) has a fixed rate of Rp. 500,000, as well as the extension. Nothing has changed.
New rates for immigration services
He conveyed that the significant difference in the new PMK was the change in rates for a one-way visit visa.
As of April 16, 2022, Widodo said, the Visit Visa is valid for 60 days at a rate that was previously US$50 (around IDR717,000), now costs IDR2 million for a Visit Visa (VK) other than tourist destinations.
As for VK tours, foreigners have to pay Rp 1.5 million. The tariff includes the visa processing fee, which previously amounted to IDR200,000. The good news is that a visit stay permit from this type of visa can be extended for the next 60 days at a cost of IDR2,000,000.
“For a Limited Stay Visa, the terms and rates do not change. Still referring to the old rules,” Widodo emphasized.
He explained that in this PMK, in addition to the pre-investment visit stay permit (ITK), it also regulates the limited stay permit (ITAS) not in the context of working for a second home.
“As of April 16, 2022, both have not been applied because the pre-investment Visit Visa and VITAS for the second house have not yet been submitted. This second home ITAS is a new service, the same as ITK for pre-investment. The new tariff that is already in effect is only a visit stay permit with a validity period of 60 days,” he said.
The three services are services for a One-Trip Visit Visa, Tourist Visit Visa, and Extension of a 60-day Visit Stay Permit.
The application of other service tariffs is still waiting for the relevant legal product, or it has not been opened yet, because the COVID-19 pandemic has not been declared over and Indonesia is still applying for a limited visa. [kompas.com/photo special]
