Hai my name rakesh I want to know about visa for work r stay in indonsia Iam married indonsian girl what is procedure

Fred

If you have been married for less than two years, you can get a KITAS, but that will not allow work.
For work, you will need an IMTA, but you must have skills that aren't available from an Indonesian.
Many run a business in their wife's name but keep their heads down.

I cannot understand mean if 2 year I married what's different and my head. Down

Fred

After two years you can apply for a KITAP.
There is some debate as to the requirement for a work permit for KITAP holders, but safety suggests getting one if you intend to work formally.

"Keeping your head down" means staying out of sight if you run a business in your wife's name.
Everyone knows you're doing it, but nothing will happen if you don't upset anyone and don't shout about it.

Thanks for information and guide my friend
