Immigration of Indonesia will present a number of new services. One of them is the 'Bridging Visa' for foreign citizens (WNA).[1] What exactly is meant by this term?

This bridging visa is generally defined as a visa that aims to bridge a previous residence permit with a new residence permit that is in the process of being issued.[2] We can also interpret it as a transitional visa.

"Indonesian bridging visas will be applied to foreign nationals in Indonesian territory who wish to apply for a Golden Visa. Preparations are in the final stages," said a statement from the Immigration Department. This Indonesian Bridging Visa has a validity period of 60 days and is only valid for foreigners in Indonesia. This visa cannot be used by foreigners who leave Indonesian territory.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
