📢 Are You a Guarantor in Indonesia?

Know Your Legal Responsibilities or Face the Law!

Being a guarantor for a foreign national in Indonesia isn’t just a formality — it’s a legal commitment that comes with real obligations. Whether you’re helping a friend, family member, or business associate obtain an Indonesian visa, you need to understand what being a “Penjamin” actually means under Indonesian immigration law.


🔍 What Is a Guarantor?

A guarantor (or penjamin) is a person or legal entity that takes full responsibility for a foreign national’s stay in Indonesia. This includes all legal, administrative, and financial responsibilities during their time in the country. Guarantors are commonly required for visa types such as:

  • Visit Visa (Single/Multiple Entry)

  • Business Visa

  • Limited Stay Visa (KITAS) for Work, Investment, or Family purposes

  • Retirement KITAS

  • Student or Internship Visas


⚠️ Your Legal Duties as a Guarantor

If you’re listed as a guarantor, you are legally obligated to:

  1. Ensure the visa holder complies with immigration laws

  2. Report any change of status, address, or overstays

  3. Be responsible for deportation costs in case of violations

  4. Handle immigration proceedings should any issues arise

  5. Cooperate with Immigration Offices upon request


🚨 What Happens If You Neglect Your Role?

Failure to fulfill your duties can lead to:

  • Legal sanctions or fines under Indonesian Immigration Law

  • Blacklisting from acting as a guarantor in the future

  • Legal proceedings if the foreign national violates visa terms

Don’t take the role lightly — it’s a binding legal agreement with the Indonesian Government.


💼 Who Can Be a Guarantor?

Only eligible individuals or organizations can act as guarantors. These typically include:

  • Registered companies in Indonesia

  • Licensed visa agents or consultants

  • Family members (Indonesian citizens or KITAP holders)

  • Educational institutions (for student visas)
