To help expedite the arrival of foreign delegations and journalists in anticipation of a surge in foreigners. The Secretary General of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights prepared several steps.
The first is an increase in service when entering and leaving foreigners at the airport. Then, to prevent buildup and congestion, several additional counters will be prepared.
Second, we prepare the number of human resources for immigration officers. Organically, immigration in Bali totaled 32 people. In preparation for the G20 Summit in Bali, the number has increased to 64 people. Supporting devices, such as computers and others, will be added to 64 unit packages.
The Directorate General of Immigration also offers second home visas. Through this facility, every foreign citizen (WNA) or former Indonesian citizen (WNI) can live between 5-10 years in the entire territory of the Republic of Indonesia. During that time, they can carry out various activities, such as investing and others.
However, there are 4 required documents in order to get this facility. One of them, namely Proof of Fund. In the form of an account owned by a foreigner or a guarantor with a value of at least IDR 2 billion or equivalent. Second, a valid national passport that is still valid for at least 36 months. Third, a recent color photograph measuring 4 cm x 6 cm with a white background. Finally, the applicant must attach a curriculum vitae.
Application for a second home visa can be done easily through a website-based application at visa-online.imigration.go.id. This policy is stated in Circular Letter number IMI-0740.GR.01.01 of 2022 concerning Granting of Visas and Limited Stay Permits for Second Homes.
This policy is for the lead up to the G20 Summit which aims to attract foreign tourists to come to Bali and various other destinations. The rate of non-tax state revenue (PNBP) for a second home visa is IDR 3 million. This refers to the provisions in Regulation of the Minister of Finance (PMK) number 2 of 2022. Meanwhile, payment of PNBP rates for second home visas can be made outside the territory of Indonesia through the available PNBP payment portals.
This immigration policy is one of the non-fiscal incentives that can be a stimulus for certain foreigners. It is hoped that the foreign nationals will be able to stay and contribute positively to the Indonesian economy at a time when global economic conditions are increasingly dynamic.
The Media Center has workspace facilities with 96 PC workstations plus 96 LAN networks with a 1.5 Gbps connection. Then there are meeting rooms with a capacity of 48 people that can be used.
The provision of this facility is so that media crews get accurate information, bearing in mind that not all journalists can reach the Apurva Kempinski location where the meeting of the leaders of the G20 members is taking place.
The media center has actively provided facilities in the form of an internet network, meeting schedules, official releases, photos and videos which can be used free of charge. In addition, for television media that requires an outdoor area, you can use every corner or empty space around the media center.
