Practical Notes for Expats
- The letter must be signed by the Indonesian spouse, not the foreign applicant.
- A materai (stamp duty) is typically required for official submission.
- Ensure all personal details match exactly with passport, KTP, and ITAS records.
- Some immigration offices may request additional supporting documents such as:
- Marriage certificate (translated if required)
- Family card (Kartu Keluarga)
- Sponsor’s ID (KTP) copy
- Always check with your local immigration office, as procedures can vary slightly between regions.
