Is it possible to extend an Artist/Entertainment KITAS if the engagement or project requires more time?

Yes, it is possible to extend an Artist/Entertainment KITAS, but extensions are not automatic and depend on several conditions.

An extension may be granted if:

• the artistic project or contract is officially extended,

• the employer provides updated supporting documents,

• the activities remain within the approved scope of the original permit,

• immigration and manpower authorities approve the request.

Because Artist/Entertainment KITAS involve work permits tied to specific events or contracts, each extension request is reviewed individually. If your project needs more time, we recommend starting the extension process early so your KITAS remains valid during the evaluation.
