International students are required to obtain the appropriate study permit and visa before commencing their studies in Indonesia.

Step 1: Apply for a study permit

After receiving your Unconditional Letter of Offer you have to request a study permit. It is a permit for study issued by KEMDIKBUDRISTEK (Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology). All international students are required to possess a valid study permit during their studies at Monash University, Indonesia. Students are generally required to provide:

  • Passport copy
  • Passport-sized photograph
  • Academic documents
  • Health insurance
  • Financial statement
  • Supporting declaration forms

The study permit process typically takes approximately 7–10 working days. Visit visa information page for a further pre-departure information.

Step 2: Apply for an Indonesian student visa

Once the study permit is approved, the next step is applying for an Indonesian student visa. You can visit this official visa portal at https://evisa.imigrasi.go.id/. Visa processing generally takes around 7–14 working days after payment confirmation. The initial visa allows entry into Indonesia and a stay of up to 30 days. You must enter Indonesia within 60 days of your eVisa issuance date; otherwise, it will expire.

Step 3: Arrive in Indonesia and obtain ITAS

After arriving in Indonesia, international students must complete the process for obtaining an ITAS (Limited Stay Permit), which allows legal residence during the study period. This process includes:

  • Biometric registration upon arrival
  • Issuance of electronic ITAS and re-entry permit
  • Local residency registration requirements

Monash University, Indonesia, will provide guidance and support throughout the process. You can also visit visa information page for a further pre-departure and post-arrival information.

Additional information

1. When should you apply for study?

Apply as early as possible, as some courses may close a few months or a year before the course start date. This allows time for your application to be processed and can help to secure a place if your preferred course has limited places. Applying early also gives you time to get your student visa, which can take up to six months for some nationalities and countries.

2. When should you apply for a student visa?

Students are encouraged to begin the application and visa process as early as possible, approximately 2 months before, to allow sufficient processing time before the commencement of studies.

3. Defer your study

Monash generally allows study deferment for up to 12 months, or longer in exceptional circumstances. If you decide to delay your course commencement, send your deferral request to mi.admissions@monash.edu or through your Monash education agent, if applicable. Other guidelines apply, visit: go.monash.edu/defer-study.
