Arvi Konsultan is a Jakarta-based visa and business consultancy with over two decades of experience. Known for its ethical approach and strong relationships with government institutions, it assists foreigners and corporations in navigating Indonesia’s immigration system and regulatory environment. Services include visas (KITAS, KITAP), company formation, payroll, bookkeeping, and tax compliance.
What They Do Well:
✔️ Full-spectrum immigration services: KITAS, KITAP, RPTKA, visa renewals
✔️ End-to-end business support — from company setup to payroll and tax filing
✔️ Over 20 years of consistent operation with professional staff and a stable office in Jakarta
✔️ Known for transparency, integrity, and legal compliance
✔️ Strong ties to immigration and tax offices — useful for processing efficiency
✔️ Good option for Jakarta-based operations and long-term business planning
Potential Drawbacks (Service-Level):
⚠️ Based in Jakarta — may not be ideal for Bali, Lombok, or tourist zone clients
⚠️ Focus is administrative, not strategic — limited consulting for startup scaling or investment models
⚠️ Website and communication channels may not offer instant quotes or live chat
⚠️ Likely more suited to formal company structures than casual freelancers or short-stay nomads
Country Context — Indonesia for Long-Term Business or Residency
Indonesia Offers:
✔️ Long-term visa options for workers, retirees, and investors
✔️ Low cost of professional staff, bookkeeping, and office setup
✔️ Territorial tax benefits — foreign-earned income not always taxed
✔️ Strong regional location for Southeast Asian business hubs
✔️ Cultural alignment for structured family roles and community respect
✔️ Low overhead compared to Singapore, Thailand, or Western countries
Key Limitations:
❌ High bureaucracy — legal filings, permits, and compliance require consistent management
❌ Regional variation — rules and enforcement differ between Bali, Jakarta, etc.
❌ Foreigners cannot own land — must use leases or nominee structures
❌ Complex tax and licensing environment for foreign-owned companies (PT PMA)
❌ Language barriers still present in official processes
Best For:
Foreign professionals, companies, and investors setting up a formal presence in Indonesia — especially in or near Jakarta. Ideal for those prioritizing legal compliance, multi-year planning, and long-term residency via structured business activity or employment.
