After arriving in Indonesia, you must convert the VITAS to KITAS. This process usually occurs at the airport immediately upon your arrival in the country. Follow the ITAS online sign to the ITAS online counter, where you’ll need to present your VITAS and passport.
You’ll undergo photographing and fingerprinting, and an ITAS sticker will be placed in your passport. Subsequently, the KITAS will be sent to your email.
With offshore processes, there’s no need for you to visit the local immigration office.
