Is the Artist KITAS extendable?

Yes, an Artist/Entertainment KITAS can be extended, but extensions are not guaranteed and depend on several conditions.

An extension may be approved if:

• your performance contract or project is officially extended,

• your employer provides updated supporting documents,

• the work you perform remains within the scope of the original permit,

• immigration and manpower authorities approve the request.

Because an Artist KITAS is tied to a specific event, project, or employer, each extension request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

If your KITAS expires

If your Artist KITAS reaches its expiration date:

• you must obtain the EPO (Exit Permit Only),

• you must leave Indonesia before your KITAS expires,

• after leaving, you are allowed to apply for a new KITAS if you continue or start a new project.

Failing to leave before expiry can lead to penalties and immigration issues.
