MERP and guns

Fred


it seems there are 9 revisions to UU6/2011


MERP will follow KISAS/KITAP validity - The 2 year limit has been scrapped

That should make life easier for °µÍø½ûÇøs.


Foreigners suspected of crimes can be stopped from leaving Indonesia.


Imigrasi have been given the authority to hold firearms.

Some °µÍø½ûÇøs have been violent to the point officers have died- Violence towards an immigration officer might result in you getting shot.

After your death, it's possible your government may protest,  so you have some comfort as you breathe your last.


Don't watch this if you don't want to see an exceptionally violent man getting shot.

Very graphic, but they don't show the coup de grace.

Fred


Furthermore, the bill introduces updates regarding multiple-entry permits for foreigners. The new regulation stipulates that the duration of a multiple-entry permit — also known as Multiple Entry Residence Permit or MERP (Izin Masuk Kembali or IMK) — is now the same as the foreigner’s ITAS (Izin Tinggal Terbatas or limited stay permit) or ITAP (Izin Tinggal Tetap or permanent residence permit). Before the new bill was passed, MERP was in effect for only two years at the longest.


I will try to find the regulations

@Fred , Great news if it is already in place . Imigrasi Jember and the Director Generals fees schedules still show the 2 year merp with a 5 year available for special circumstances . Also noted that on the Director Generals fee schedule that the unlimited Kitap has risen to 15,000,000rp with the 5 year extension still available , 5,000,000rp . And a 10 year extension now available ,10,000,000rp. Hopefully the new Merp rule is in place by next year as I'm due to apply for the unlimited Kitap . I'd expect a rise in the cost of the Merp to cover any lose they'll incur from people not paying it every 2 years !
