Before LetsMoveIndonesia, agencies did not advertise prices openly and were not particularly trustworthy – LetsMoveIndonesia is the only agency to have broken the mold and truly made a difference to the industry, rapidly rising to be the trendsetters of expatriate services.  

LetsMoveIndonesia was founded by Gary Joy, a British expatriate in 2016 because he became disgruntled with the way expatriate service providers conducted business. Originally, he sought to help improve services in the property sector, but after steady growth and a need to improve other areas of expatriate services, the business grew to incorporate other industries such as Visa, Company Establishment, Legal Services, as well as Tax & Accountancy.   

With 5 offices across Jakarta & Bali, we believe LetsMoveIndonesia truly is Indonesia’s Most Trusted Agency, which is why we are pleased they are our official partner for all things visa related.

Question

My nationality isn’t one of the nationalities allowed for Visa on Arrival, what visa would you recommend for a holiday to Bali

Answer

If you are unable to obtain a Visa on Arrival (VOA) for holiday purposes, we would suggest applying for a Single Entry Tourist Visa. The Single Entry Tourist visa will allow you to visit the country for 60 days and is extendable (optional) 2 times further providing you with up to 180 days in Indonesia.

Question

I have been offered a job from a company in Jakarta and the company said they would arrange the visa. I would like to bring my wife, what do I need to do?

Answer

If you are planning to bring your wife, you may get her a dependent KITAS. The dependent KITAS can be linked to your work permit. It is quite a simple process, so check with your employer if they can arrange this for you, if not, then feel free to email me and I would be delighted to help!
