Exit Permit Only (EPO)
- Share:
An Exit Permit Only (EPO) is required for anyone with a temporary Indonesian KITAS if they are leaving the country, changing jobs, or changing their KITAS status. This also applies when the KITAS expires.
The EPO’s primary function is ensuring the return of all immigration documents to the immigration office and the accurate removal of your information from their system.
Exit Permit Only (EPO)
- Allows a foreigner to permanently leave Indonesia.
- Foreigners ending their stay in Indonesia (e.g., at the end of their work contract or ITAS/ITAP validity).
- Valid for a single use; the holder must leave Indonesia immediately after issuance.
- Final departure from Indonesia; no intention of returning under the current visa/permit.
- Typically issued as part of the termination of ITAS/ITAP.
- No return to Indonesia allowed after departure.
- Coordinated through the employer, sponsor, or immigration office upon terminating the visa/permit.
- Leaving Indonesia without an EPO may result in penalties or issues with future visa applications.
Document Requirements
- Your original passport
- A copy of your exit flights
- Any original documents in relation to your KITAS (for example IMTA & DPKK payment)
*We would advise not leaving this requirement to the very last minute as the process takes approximately 3 – 5 working days. Once stamped you will have to leave the country within 5 days

FAQ
Can I leave Indonesia without obtaining an EPO?
As mentioned earlier, you will still be able to exit the country with a valid KITAS as you are allowed to travel; however the problem lies when/if you want to return, whereby the immigration may have some uncomfortable questions for you upon your arrival. Please remember, cancelling your KITAS the official way, with the EPO is mandatory.
What should I do if I have already left Indonesia and have not processed an EPO?
If you have left Indonesia without submitting documents for an EPO stamp, you will have to apply for an Exit Re-entry Permit (ERP).
To process your ERP you will need to provide:
- A copy of your flight tickets
- A copy of the exit stamp in your passport
- All original documentation in relation to your KITAS
