UGM instructions on getting a KITAS

When undergraduate students arrive in Indonesia to study at an Indonesian university they must first obtain a VITAS visa which is then converted to a KITAS temporary resident permit within 7 days of their arrival. For ACICIS students this whole process, both outside and inside the country, is supervised by ACICIS staff. It is an easy process that we have done many times. For non-ACICIS students they have to do this themselves. Below are the instructions from UGM on how to do it. Postgraduate students have even more complicated procedures to follow.

UGM instructions
