Hi everyone,

My wife and I have just processed our divorce.

I'm a permanent resident with permanent kitap. We were married over 10 ten years. She still wants to be my sponsor as we have a child and we are very amicable.

Is there anything I need to do now or just continue until next reporting date on my kitap which is 2027.

We haven't collected divorce cert yet as it's not ready.

I'm in Bali.

Thank for any advice!

You must report your change to immigration.

There was a change in the law some years ago that allows you to keep residency after 10 years of marriage, even after divorce. Was it actually 10 years, or your tenth year?

If a full 10 years, you're probably going to be fine.

I'm way out of date on this but the above should give you enough to start googling.
