Indonesia Updates Immigration Fees (PNBP) Effective 17 December 2024

Share:

Jakarta, 17 December 2024 – Indonesia has officially implemented updated Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) regulations, introducing revised fees for immigration services such as visa applications, stay permits, and passport issuance. These changes, effective since 17th of December 2024, are outlined in Government Regulation No. 45 of 2024, which replaces the earlier Regulation No. 28 of 2019.

The updates aim to simplify the immigration process for foreign nationals, enhancing transparency and accessibility while fostering a more welcoming environment for expatriates, investors, and international travellers.

What is PNBP?

PNBP (Penerimaan Negara Bukan Pajak) refers to revenue collected by the Indonesian government for public services, resources, and administrative fees outside of traditional taxes. Immigration services, including visa processing and passport issuance, contribute significantly to this income.

This revenue supports national development programs, infrastructure, and public services. By updating PNBP rates regularly, the government seeks to align its services with economic goals while ensuring fairness and efficiency.

Key Highlights of the New Regulation

The updated PNBP introduces revised fees for various immigration-related services, such as:

  • Temporary and permanent stay permits.
  • Residency permit extensions.
  • Passport issuance and renewals.

According to a statement from the Director General of Immigration, these updates are designed to:

  • Enhance clarity, accountability, and fairness in immigration services.
  • Simplify the application process for foreign nationals.
  • Improve service delivery across all immigration offices.

Specific fee details are being disseminated, but the changes aim to create a smoother experience for expatriates and long-term residents navigating Indonesia’s immigration system.

 

 

A Positive Step for Indonesia’s Economy

The government views these updates as a way to enhance Indonesia’s global appeal by attracting more expatriates, investors, and businesses.

Simplifying residency processes is expected to encourage foreign investment, professional opportunities, and tourism, strengthening the nation’s economic growth.

The updated fees also provide a more predictable and streamlined system for expatriates applying for or extending stay permits. This aligns with Indonesia’s commitment to fostering a friendly, efficient, and welcoming environment for foreign nationals.
