Indonesian Immigration authorities have formally appointed Parq as a Duta Layanan Keimigrasian — an Immigration Service Ambassador — in a ceremony that underscores the government's strategic intent to attract European business capital to Indonesia. The designation is part of a broader push by the Directorate General of Immigration to expand its outreach to foreign investor communities, positioning trusted intermediary institutions as official bridges between immigration services and the international business world.
The ambassador designation system allows vetted organizations to represent and promote formal immigration services, guiding foreign nationals through the Indonesian immigration ecosystem. In this capacity, Parq is expected to serve as a formal conduit for European businesspeople seeking to understand and access Indonesia's investor immigration options — from short-term business visit visas to long-term investor stay permits.
The regulatory framework underpinning this push is well-established at the national level. Permenkumham No. 22 Tahun 2023, as amended by Permenkumham No. 11 Tahun 2024, governs the modern visa index system designed to facilitate foreign business activity and investment. Under this framework, European investors can access Business Visit Visas — such as the C2 index for meetings and audits — as well as Investor KITAS products including the E28A standard investor permit and the premium E28B and E28C Golden Visa categories offering five- to ten-year residency.
Further modernization has come through UU No. 63 Tahun 2024, which amended the foundational Immigration Law to automatically integrate Multiple Exit Re-Entry Permits (MERP) into all KITAS and KITAP documents at the point of issuance. This eliminates a historically burdensome administrative step for investors who travel internationally on a frequent basis — a particularly relevant development for European executives managing cross-border portfolios.
Cost transparency for immigration services is governed by PP No. 45 Tahun 2024, which standardizes Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) tariffs across all immigration service categories nationwide. Additionally, Permenimipas No. 5 Tahun 2025 — issued under the newly restructured Ministry of Immigration and Penal Correction — provides specific guidance on immigration guarantors, allowing qualifying foreign investors to sponsor themselves using financial deposits or proof of investment, without requiring an Indonesian corporate entity as a sponsor.
The formalization of Parq as an Immigration Service Ambassador is a telling indicator of where Indonesian immigration strategy is heading: toward structured, institution-led outreach to high-value for
eign investor segments. Europe, with its concentration of SME founders, digital entrepreneurs, and capital-rich individuals eyeing Southeast Asia, is a logical target market — and this designation is
the government's way of building trust infrastructure before that capital arrives.
For our clients, the practical implication is positive but requires context. Ambassador-tier institutions like Parq do not replace licensed immigration consultants or legal representatives — they operate in the promotional and advisory space, helping foreign nationals understand what is available. The actual visa processing, KITAS applications, and Golden Visa structuring still flows through formal immigration channels and requires precise documentation, legal structuring, and often sponsor arrangements.
What this move confirms is that Indonesia is actively competing for European business migration. Clients who have been sitting on the fence about formalizing their residency status — particularly those eligible for E28B or E28C Golden Visas — should read this as a market signal: the government is open for business, and the regulatory tools to do it cleanly are already in place.
