The route: from eVOA to KITAS without leaving
Arrived on an eVOA and decided to stay longer? You do not have to fly out for a new visa. There is no direct eVOA-to-KITAS conversion, but there is a transitional status.
Visa on arrival for IDR 900,000, extension for another 30 days — IDR 950,000.
A transitional permit: +60 days of stay while the new status is prepared. On its own it costs IDR 4,000,000.
The status is issued in-country. Switching from eVOA to E33G costs IDR 16,000,000 turnkey, with the Bridging Visa included.
From a C1 you can switch to the E33G KITAS directly, without a Bridging Visa — also IDR 16,000,000 turnkey. More on the Bridging Visa page and in E33G extension.
