JPP and DSPP 2010 Details

Dates

Application due date:

JPP - September 1, 2009
DSPP - October 1, 2009

Program start: Thursday 31 December 2009
Program finish: Friday, February 12, 2010

All students must arrive in Jakarta by Wednesday 30 December 2009 at the latest, as orientation will commence on 31 December 2009. Students may arrive as early as 18 December providing their return ticket is booked for the weekend immediately following the conclusion of the program (13-14 February). Because of the problems of getting seats on aeroplanes during the New Year period, participants are strongly advised to book their flights early. Participants must realise that the responsibility to arrange flights belongs to the participant. ACICIS will accept no liability if a participant is unable to arrange flights.

Under no circumstances will Atma Jaya University supply letters for extensions of a socio-cultural visa. 60 days is the maximum duration of the socio-cultural visa for the JPP and students are responsible for any overstays resultant of arriving in Indonesia so early that they are unable to complete the JPP on their 60 day visa. The duration of the 60 day social-cultural visa commences from the date that the student enters the country, NOT the date of issue of the visa itself.

Costs

Participants are generally responsible for their own travel, accommodation and living expenses during the program. Advice will be given regarding costs but ultimately this will be up to the student. A breakdown of approximate costs are outlined as below:

Airfares	From about A$1,400 return from Australia	Most airlines fly direct to Jakarta and there are many budget airlines operating throughout Southeast Asia, and to Indonesia. Perth to Jakarta on Jetstar is about $400 return.
Visa	About A$60 for a 60-day Social/Cultural visa	Cost as set by individual Indonesian Embassies and Consulates. All participants will need to have a passport valid till September 2010..
Insurance	From about A$250 for six weeks	Prices vary with different companies. Students may be covered by their home university's corporate insurance.
Accommodation	About A$30 a night in the recommended hotel.	Prices of accommodation in Jakarta vary greatly depending on quality, ranging from A$10 to A$100 a night.
Living Expenses	From about A$35 a day	Costs may include food, taxi fares, sight-seeing, socialising and other incidentals. Prices are relatively inexpensive in Indonesia, but Jakarta can be expensive.

All costs are in Australian dollars (A$). ACICIS cannot be held liable if bookings are made and monies lost due to an application not being successful or in the event of program cancellation. Some of the costs such as airfares and insurance may vary; applicants must check prices for themselves. ACICIS reserves the right to alter fee structures without notice.
