Visa & Immigration SUPPORT

Common Expat Mistakes

❌ Mistake 1 — Believing the visa & immigration process is fast because it's online

Yes, the submission is online. But the approval is NOT automatic, and Immigration still reviews everything manually. Common delays happen because:

  • Your documents don’t match EXACTLY what Immigration requires
  • The system glitches (yes, happens often)
  • Approvals take longer during holidays or peak periods
  • Inland vs offshore rules aren’t always clear
  • Visa agents promise unrealistic timelines

Many visa agents will tell you:
“1 week only!”, but the reality? It often takes longer — and that’s normal.

❌ Mistake 2 — Not understanding Indonesia’s financial requirements

Indonesia’s financial requirements
Indonesia wants to ensure you can support yourself while living here.
If you’re not sponsored by a company or spouse, you must show:
Sufficient savings

A steady income source

Proof you’re financially capable

Expats who underestimate this often face:
⚠️ Rejection
⚠️ Request for more documents
⚠️ Delayed approval

Noble Asia prepares these requirements upfront so nothing is questioned later.

❌ Mistake 3 — Misunderstanding PMA (Foreign-Owned Company) Requirements

One of the BIGGEST misunderstandings we hear is: “Many people told me I don’t need IDR 10 Billion capital to set up a PMA.”

And on the surface, that sounds great. But here’s the truth.

Yes — some consultants will say:

“Don’t worry, nobody checks.”
“Just register it first.”
“It’s only on paper, no need to actually inject the capital.”

But that is not how the regulation works. Even if you do not immediately inject the full IDR 10 Billion capital, you are declaring this commitment to the Indonesian government. If Immigration, BKPM, or the Tax Office decides to check:

⚠️ You may be asked to prove your capital
⚠️ You may face audits or penalties
⚠️ In serious cases… your KITAS or PMA license can be revoked

Is this common?
No.
But when it happens, expats lose everything — their business permit, visa, and ability to operate in Indonesia.

That’s why it’s critical to understand this:

💡 PMA setup is not just a formality. It is a legal commitment.

If you are opening a PMA only for the sake of getting a KITAS, without real business activity or capital compliance, you are putting yourself at risk. Always cross-check PMA requirements with a licensed, legitimate consultant — not someone you found on Instagram or WhatsApp groups.

❌ Mistake 4 — Not preparing for visa extensions early

Your KITAS doesn’t last forever.
Neither does your business or dependent visa.

Many expats think:
“I’ll extend when it’s closer to the date.”

But in Indonesia, you must start the process 1–3 months before expiry. Starting too late can cause:

  • Overstay fines
  • Exit permits you didn’t expect
  • Temporary visa holds
  • Inability to travel
  • Forced last-minute visa runs

When timelines are missed, things get complicated VERY quickly. NOBLE ASIA tracks your expiration dates for you — so you never panic.

❌ Mistake 5 — Assuming, “I’ll figure out the visa later after I arrive.”

This is how many expats end up overstaying or stuck with the wrong visa. Tourist visas DO NOT allow:

  • Working
  • Paid consulting
  • Business activities
  • Long-term stays
  • School enrollment
  • Opening local accounts

Yet many new arrivals try to do everything on a tourist visa. Then comes stress, penalties, and last-minute scrambling.
