Your first weeks in Indonesia: fourteen days for Dukcapil, ninety for the deposit

In your first weeks in Indonesia there are two counters you must not miss, and each has its own clock. Within fourteen days of your ITAS being issued you report to the civil registry, Dukcapil, for the SKTT. And whoever comes on the Silver Hair or Second Home route has ninety days to deposit the money at a state-owned bank and report it to the immigration service. The find: your ITAS is not a registration, and the SKTT doesn't follow automatically. The pitfall: on Bali Dukcapil asks for papers from the neighbourhood and the police that you only get with a fixed address.

Which date counts after arrival?

The immigration service warns with every visa: the validity of the visa is something other than the length of your stay. You use the eVisa within ninety days of issue to enter; what counts after that is your residence permit. With the Silver Hair and the Second Home, according to the immigration service, you receive the electronic ITAS and the re-entry permit automatically on arrival; you can also collect a card at the immigration office.

If you first come to look around as a tourist, the visa on arrival (B1) gives you thirty days, extendable once by thirty days. On that visa you may not sell goods or services or receive payment from Indonesian individuals or companies.

Which clocks run in your first months?

When	What	Counter
within 14 days of your ITAS being issued	SKTT, your home address	Dukcapil of your municipality
before the SKTT, on Bali	letter from the neighbourhood head and police reporting certificate (STM)	neighbourhood and police
within 90 days of arrival	deposit at a state-owned bank, or fulfilling the commitment, and reporting it	bank and immigration office
at more than 183 days within 12 months	you are a resident taxpayer	tax authority DJP
from 30 days before the end of your ITAS	apply for the extension, at the latest on the last day	immigration office where you live

Arrange your address before you go travelling. For the SKTT on Bali you need a letter from the neighbourhood head, a police reporting certificate and the family card of your sponsor for the address. With a temporary address and a travel plan those fourteen days slip by.

What do you do in the first weeks?

An address and the SKTT. You apply for the SKTT with a copy of your passport and your ITAS and the registration form; if you rent, a statement from the owner is added. The service is free of charge. How that counter works is in SKTT and NPWP in Indonesia, and why your rental contract matters, in living on Bali.

The bank. If you are on a deposit route, open the account at a state-owned bank, in your own name, and keep the proof of your report. Which papers a bank asks for is in a bank account in Indonesia.

Tax. An ITAS or a rental contract counts for the Indonesian tax authority as proof that you intend to live in Indonesia. Whoever becomes a resident taxpayer with income above the tax-free allowance applies for a tax number and files annually; the return for 2024 had to be in by 31 March 2025 at the latest.

What comes at the end of the year?

The extension. An ITAS of at most one year you extend at the immigration office where you live, applying at the earliest thirty days before the end. If you applied and paid before the last day, the processing does not count as an overstay. If you extend your ITAS, extend your SKTT too.
