Overview

Consolidated temporary stay permit (1-2 years) for foreign students pursuing bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degrees at Indonesian universities.

The Degree Program Student Visa (Index E30B, E30C, E30D) is a consolidated temporary stay permit (KITAS) tailored for international students pursuing higher education at Indonesian universities. These visas are categorized by the level of study: E30B for Bachelor's degrees, E30C for Master's degrees, and E30D for Doctoral programs. This permit is designed to support long-term academic stays, allowing students to reside in Indonesia for one to two years initially, with the possibility of extension for the duration of their degree program. It is the standard legal requirement for any foreign national seeking to earn a formal degree from an Indonesian higher education institution.

Beyond just academic access, this visa provides the legal status necessary to integrate into the Indonesian academic community. Students are required to have a formal sponsorship from their university, which acts as the guarantor for their stay. This visa is ideal for international scholars looking to gain practical skills, learn the Indonesian language, and engage with local culture through a structured academic environment. Like other student visas, it prohibits unauthorized work, ensuring that the primary focus remains on academic achievement. It is a robust, long-term solution for those committed to completing their higher education within the Indonesian university system.
