Exit Re-Entry Permit (ERP) – Who is it for and what are the benefits

For all temporary stay and permanent visas in Indonesia, such as KITAS or KITAP, when the validity of your visa expires, you are required to close the visa off.

This is primarily done using what is known as an EPO (Exit Permit Only); however, this is only applicable when you are onshore. The EPO must be done prior to departure of Indonesia. Check out our article here to find out more about the EPO process: EPO – Everything you need to know.

If your visa has already expired and you are no longer in the country, you are now unable to process an EPO, therefore you are required to apply for an Exit Only Permit.

Steps to get your ERP (Exit Re-Entry Permit)

1. Provide all of the requirements
2. Submit the ERP application at the local immigration office
3. ERP is approved
4. The immigration will be issue ERP document.

Common questions

Why do I need to do this?

If you fail to close your previous visa, you will be unable to obtain another temporary (KITAS) or permanent (KITAP) visa until you close the visa off.

If I don’t close off my visa using an EPO or an ERP what will happen?

Immigration authorities reserve the right to question and detain you, due to failure to acknowledge authorities.

If I am/was employed, who is responsible for my EPO/ERP?

Generally, for employment, your employer should be responsible. If you are unsure, make sure you ask your employer to clarify.
