Document background
The Consent Letter For Spouse Visa is a mandatory document in the Indonesian immigration system, required when a foreign national seeks to obtain a residence permit based on marriage to an Indonesian citizen. This document became particularly important following the implementation of Law No. 6 of 2011 on Immigration and its subsequent regulations, which strengthened the requirements for foreign spouses seeking to reside in Indonesia. The letter serves multiple purposes: it acts as an official sponsorship document, demonstrates the Indonesian spouse's awareness and acceptance of their responsibilities, and helps immigration authorities verify the authenticity of the marriage relationship. The document must include specific information such as personal details of both spouses, marriage registration information, and explicit consent statements. It forms part of a broader set of requirements for obtaining a KITAS (Temporary Stay Permit) or other relevant visas for foreign spouses in Indonesia.
