The E30 Student KITAS is a long-term residence permit for foreign nationals enrolled in a full-time degree program at an Indonesian university or educational institution. Indonesia 

is becoming an increasingly popular destination for international students, offering world-class programs in tropical biology, international relations, and Southeast Asian studies.

​

The E30 visa allows students to live in Indonesia for the duration of their academic program, usually granted in one-year increments. Beyond academics, it permits students to fully integrate into local life, learn the language, and build a network of peers from around the world.

​

To obtain an E30, students must first secure a Study Permit from the Ministry of Education, which is then used to apply for the KITAS. This visa demonstrates Indonesia’s goal of becoming a regional hub for higher education and cultural exchange. While it does not allow full-time employment, it provides a secure and legal foundation for thousands of young people to pursue their dreams in one of the world’s most dynamic countries while enjoying its diverse culture and hospitality.
