This might be a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone here can offer me some advice.
Pretty I've been on a family KITAS for a few years and in recent years been trying to move over to a KITAP. The problem we keep running into is we live in Kerobokan (at a rental), and my husband's KTP & KK uses his family address in Karangasam. We were told to move the KTP and KK to Kerobokan where we live, but in the south of Bali, we've been told you must own the land in order to use the address on your KTP & KK (which we don't - we've been renting the same house for almost 6 years, but don't own it).
So pretty much my husband's KIPEM & my Domicili use our address where we live in Kerobokan, but his KTP & KK use his family address in Karangasam. We are told by immigration that all addresses must be the same, and we must live at the address on the KTP because that is where they will do the interview for KIPEM. Every year we try again to apply, and every year we're told the same thing. I've also been told by immigration that there's a limit to how long I can continue being on KITAS (I'll be on my 5th one this year) and eventually we need to sort this out.
Recently we were connected to a senior immigration official that was sympathetic to our situation and told my husband to get a Domicili certificate stating he lives at our home in Kerobokan, and once we have that to give him all the documents and he'd file our application for us. We asked our landowner to get the Domicili for my husband, but when he tried the office told him my husband already has KIPEM with that address, and the KIPEM carries more weight/more importance than a Domicili, and they wouldn't issue it (they issued one for me, the foreigner, but not my husband, the Indonesian).
This whole situation is terribly frustrating. Does anyone here have any experience or suggestions of what we can do? All these years we've done all the visas ourselves, but I am starting to consider speaking to an agent to see if they can help us get the KITAP (and I'm not even sure they could).
