BPJS for KITAS/KITAP Holders

kbartsurfer

Once I had KITAP I could apply for KTP.

Once you have your Kitas or Kitap, I think you need to get a few other documents like a letter from your local Chairman and letters from the person above the Chairman in your area and also the local government office, all proving your address. Then I think you might need a letter from a main police station too. Can't remember if there is anything else needed as it's been so long so I went there. So bring all that to the Disdukcapil in your town and they will tell you when you can pick up your KTP.

Yes. After receiving the KITAS or KITAP you can apply for KTP

@wyngrove60 : To my knowledge KITAS or KITAP holders are not eligible.  If you are working in a company the company must apply for it for you, but as soon as you are no longer working with the company you will no longer be eligible for it.

@geneindo:

Then how come I have BPJS?


Actually KITAS/KITAP holders are definitely eligible. It just seems that some people living in certain regions are not getting it, but where I live it is definitely eligible. I'm old and using BPJS all the time.

Yes. Eligible. But there is a difference between company sponsored bpjs and individual sponsored bpjs. What the differences are exactly I don't know sorry. I'm am not employed, yet I have bpjs health class 1 for me and my family. (Not pension contributions though)

Indonesian is expensive for private health insurance. In Malaysia I was paying about MYR12k - 15k per year for private international room, and it completely covered a back operation I had there. In Indonesia I was paying a bit more than IDR17 million per year (first time discount) for a UK insurance company here which the following year went up to about IDR24 million, and that was just for myself. So now all of us use BPJS and we are paying IDR150k per person per month which gives us a better room/ward in case we are hospitalized.


However, since BPJS doesn't cover all illnesses, I am also still seeing doctors privately and paying for it myself.

@bennl The choice is yours, but as someone who has spent 2 weeks in the hospital, the highest tier is worth it. There are no fresh flowers in any of the tiers of coverage, but the lowest tier looks very, very uncomfortable, no dividers between beds and very over crowded. I am more than happy to pay a few dollars extra every month after seeing that. i didnt have any coverage on this occasion so had to pay out of pocket for my daughter (Indonesia) and was happy to pay the premium. As I understand, if you do have to go in an emergency, there is no paying a little more to upgrade, you are in that category, then thats where you are until you go to the BPJS office and change it.


Highly recommend the highest class, it really isnt much at all.

@sarah1effendi Go to the civil office after you have your green Kitap card.

Muhammad, your post has nothing to do with the OP's topic about "BPJS for KITAS/KITAP Holders". So you should maybe start your own new topic.

Hello,


I recently settled in Indonesia with my wife, who is Indonesian, and our son, who holds dual nationality. We currently live in Bogor.


I have a 1-year spouse KITAS and plan to extend it for 5 years in 2025, as we have been married for 10 years.


I would like to know if it’s possible for me to get BPJS health coverage through my wife. Additionally, would it be more efficient to register online or visit the local BPJS office to complete the registration and paperwork?


I appreciate your assistance with this matter.


Thank you.

Fred

HI I KNOW THIS query is a little different ,,and some here will put me in my place , but here goes,,

I recently retire to bali ,,kitas for 12 months ,,renew in Jan 25,,

I was led to beleive ,,after 6 months here ,,I could apply for bpjs health insurance ,,as I am on a fixed income the cost quoted was $ 15 and per month,,would suit my budget perfectly,,but on application in September was denied ,,its no longer available to single elderly !!

so I will have to get an expensive private cover,,aud$3000,per annum,,,

My visa agent said maybe they will reinstate old folks medical after recent election,,in in donesia,,in the meantime will have to run the gauntlet ,,or go back to Oz !!

Anyone have some ideas ,please.
