How to apply for a Student Visa?

 In short, the procedure of applying for a student visa is as the following:

    1. Students submit all required documents to International Office UNS.
    2. UNS applies for a student visa at Immigration Directorate.
    3. When the visa is issued, UNS sends the visa to admitted students.
    4. Students can depart to Indonesia.
    5. Upon arriving at an airport/border in Indonesia, students must show the visa to the immigration officer at Immigration Checkpoint.
    6. Immigration officer will take students’ photograph and record their fingerprints.
    7. The student visa will immediately be converted into a stay permit. The stay permit will be sent to UNS email, and UNS forwards the document to the students.

What immigration procedure should I take when I finish my study?

When students complete their study at UNS, UNS will revoke immigration sponsorship and cancel/stop the student’s stay permit. In case students want to leave Indonesia or return to their country, the procedure must be completed seven days before the students leave. If students wish to continue their studies and stay in Indonesia for an extended time, they must notify the International Office.
