Bridging Visa

Stay legal in Indonesia while you transition from one visa to the next. The Bridging Visa is a temporary residence permit designed to bridge the gap between your expiring stay permit and the approval of your new one without forcing you to leave the country.

Who it’s for
Foreign nationals already in Indonesia whose current visa or stay permit is about to expire and who are applying for a new permit (like a KITAS or Golden Visa) can use this visa to maintain legal status.

Key Features

• Valid for up to 60 days so you don’t overstay while waiting for your new visa to be approved.

• Onshore only: must be within Indonesia when applying and during the whole period.

• No exit needed: eliminates the old requirement to leave the country and re-enter while waiting for visa decisions.

• Avoid overstay penalties: as long as you apply before current visa expiry.

How it Works
Apply online via the official immigration portal (evisa.imigrasi.go.id) at least 3 days before your existing permit expires. Once approved, you get 60 days to complete your new visa process without exiting Indonesia.

Benefits

• Saves time and money by staying in-country.

• Smooth transition between visas with legal certainty.

This visa is a solid solution if you’re navigating Indonesia’s immigration system and want to keep operations smooth without visa-related interruptions.
