While logistics are still being put in place there will finally be strict regulations to operate as a visa consultant in Indonesia.
It’s been a while in coming but finally it will happen early next year.
Hopefully these regulations will be strictly enforced to avoid people getting scammed by scumbag agents.
We have already met with immigration and pass the regulation needs with flying colours and will receive our registration as soon as it comes into play.
This is fantastic news for someone wanting a visa for Indonesia.
We have attached our translated version but the key points are as follows:
1: You must have an office
2: The owner must provide a crime free police clearance
3: To be a licensed consultant in Bali you are required to supply your last 3 months bank statements showing a balance of minimum 1 billion IDR
4: To be a licensed consultant in Indonesia you are required to supply your last 3 months bank statements showing a balance of minimum 2 billion IDR
5: Agents must attend and be declared passed of the training from immigration office and get the statement letter.
We cant wait for the day this all comes into place and innocent people will be protected and feel safe they are using a registered consultant.
