Preparing for a spouse ITAS renewal in Indonesia starts with comparing the details on your current permit with your documents today. A new passport, a different home address, or a change in your spouse’s stay permit can affect what you need to submit. Checking those details early gives you time to resolve discrepancies before your filing window closes.
This guide covers renewals for foreign nationals married to an Indonesian citizen (E31A) and foreign nationals who hold a family stay permit through a foreign spouse with an Indonesian ITAS or ITAP (E31B). Central Jakarta Immigration’s ITAS extension guide.
When can you apply to renew a spouse ITAS?
Check the expiry date and the original duration of your current ITAS. Central Jakarta Immigration publishes the following filing windows:
| Duration of the current ITAS | Earliest filing date |
|---|---|
| One year or less | 30 days before expiry |
| More than one year | Three months before expiry |
The published deadline for both is the day the ITAS expires. Start gathering documents before the filing window opens, especially if you need to update a passport or address record. If you are planning overseas travel around the expiry date, confirm your renewal and appointment arrangements before booking. Central Jakarta Immigration’s filing guidance.
Spouse ITAS renewal: What documents should you prepare?
Start with the applicant’s valid passport, current electronic ITAS, and official marriage certificate or marriage book. Then gather the documents for your specific route:
| Renewal route | Spouse and sponsor documents to check |
|---|---|
| E31A — spouse of an Indonesian citizen | The Indonesian spouse’s ID card (KTP), family card (Kartu Keluarga or KK), and application letter. If you married overseas, keep the relevant marriage reporting or registration evidence available. |
| E31B — spouse of a foreign resident | The resident spouse’s passport and current ITAS or ITAP. Check the guarantor listed for your permit and prepare any sponsorship evidence requested for your case. |
Keep clear scans and the originals available. Depending on the procedure, Immigration may also request an integration statement, address evidence, or other supporting records. Use the checklist for your current permit and application channel when preparing the final submission.

What if your passport, address, or sponsor has changed?
- New passport: Compare the new passport number with the number on your e-ITAS. If the permit still shows the previous number, ask whether you need a passport record update before filing. Keep both passports available if you have them. West Jakarta Immigration’s passport update guidance.
- New address: Check whether Immigration has your current address on record. If you moved into another immigration office’s service area, ask which office will handle the renewal and whether an address update is needed first. Ngurah Rai Immigration’s address change guidance.
- Change in marriage or sponsorship: If there has been a divorce, bereavement, or change of guarantor, confirm whether you can still use the same renewal route. For E31B, also check whether your spouse’s own stay permit is expiring or changing. Immigration identifies changes to civil status, immigration status, and address as matters the guarantor must report. Central Jakarta Immigration’s guidance on guarantor responsibilities.
How to submit your spouse ITAS renewal
Confirm the filing channel with your immigration office or through the official Indonesian eVisa portal. Once the application is submitted, follow the official billing instructions and monitor the registered email address for requests or appointment notices. Be ready to bring original documents and attend any photo, interview, or biometric appointment Immigration schedules. When the renewed e-ITAS arrives, check your name, passport number, and new expiry date. Karawang Immigration’s guidance on renewal appointments and original documents.
