Stay Indonesia is a visa and legal service provider catering to expats, remote workers, and entrepreneurs seeking long-term stay or business setup in Indonesia. The company offers integrated support across three categories: Visa Services, Legal Services, and Business Consultancy. Unlike basic visa agents, it focuses on combining compliance with strategy — offering both document handling and market insight for foreigners looking to engage with Indonesia more seriously.
What They Do Well:
✔️ Handles KITAS, business visas, sponsorships, and residency formalities end-to-end
✔️ Legal advisory for foreign investment, tax structure, and local hiring compliance
✔️ Offers business consultancy for market entry, growth, and local adaptation
✔️ Community of experts from diverse industries for targeted insights
✔️ Willing to go beyond transactional support — helps clients understand Indonesian systems and culture
✔️ Transparent segmentation of services: visa, legal, business — each with clear scope
Potential Drawbacks (Service-Level):
⚠️ Not a law firm — cannot represent clients in court or handle litigation
⚠️ Business advisory is informal — dependent on available consultants’ expertise
⚠️ Limited documentation on pricing or service tiers publicly available
⚠️ Some processes (especially KITAS or PT PMA setup) still require in-person steps
⚠️ Varies by region — support in Bali may differ from Jakarta or Surabaya
About Indonesia — Country-Level Benefits and Challenges for Expats
What Indonesia Offers Foreigners:
✔️ Low cost of living compared to Western countries
✔️ Friendly visa landscape (D212, KITAS, investor visas) with multiple pathways to stay
✔️ Growing digital economy with expanding startup scene
✔️ Strategic location in ASEAN — access to regional markets
✔️ Bali and Jakarta offer large expat networks and soft landings
✔️ Decent internet in major cities, improving infrastructure in tourist zones
Potential Country-Level Drawbacks:
⚠️ Bureaucracy is slow, paper-based, and often inconsistent between provinces
⚠️ Bribery, corruption, and unclear enforcement remain common in legal processes
⚠️ Foreigners cannot fully own land — must structure ownership creatively
⚠️ Language barriers persist outside of tourist and expat-heavy areas
⚠️ Infrastructure and healthcare quality drop off outside major cities
⚠️ Strong religious and cultural norms — missteps can trigger visa scrutiny
Best For:
Digital nomads, remote founders, and entrepreneurs who want to build something long-term in Indonesia and need both legal permission and local guidance — especially those planning to open a company, invest, or move staff over time.
