What is the role of the sponsoring organisation or event in the Artist/Entertainment KITAS application process?

Last updated on Nov 26, 2025

The sponsoring organization or event plays a central and essential role in the Artist/Entertainment KITAS process. They are responsible for providing all official support required for the application, including:

  • Sponsorship letter (mandatory)
  • Event or performance contract
  • Detailed schedule of performances or activities
  • Company documents (e.g., NIB, deed, tax documents)
  • Justification of why a foreign artist is required
  • Coordination with immigration and manpower authorities
  • Approval of the RPTKA/IMTA (work permit process)

Without a qualified sponsor, an Artist/Entertainment KITAS cannot be issued.
The sponsor essentially confirms that:

  • the artist is invited officially,
  • the activities are legitimate,
  • all work is authorized and compliant with Indonesian law.

We work closely with sponsors to ensure all documents meet immigration requirements.
