The Hidden Costs of Cheap KITAS Extensions: Why Going Cheap Can Be Risky
John recently approached our Bali-based visa agency seeking assistance with extending their investor KITAS, initially processed by another company. Upon taking on the case, we uncovered several serious complications arising from their previous dealings with unverified agents.
First, we discovered that the client’s KITAS had been issued without a legitimate company backing it. Although this approach might seem more affordable and straightforward, it directly violates Indonesian law. As a result, John was unable to legally extend their KITAS through any agency other than the original one, making them completely dependent on their initial agent.
Second, when we requested the necessary documents for the KITAS extension, the original agent refused to provide them. The agent argued that the client was not the registered owner of the company associated with the KITAS, which further complicated the situation.
Without access to these documents, the client was unable to extend or even cancel the visa, leaving them in a legally and financially precarious position.
This case highlights the potential dangers of working with unverified or unreliable agents, which can result in serious legal and financial consequences.
