The official pathway for international researchers, PhD students, and scientific collaborators to work in Indonesia.
All international research must be approved by the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN). This is the first step before visa application.
A local research partner (institution or university) is required to sponsor and oversee the research activity.
Depending on the location (e.g., national parks), additional permits may be required. We handle the integrated licensing process.
Understanding Indonesian laws on biological and cultural data collection is vital for ethical and legal compliance.
For multi-year projects, a research KITAS provides stable residency and multiple-entry privileges for the team.
