Easy one.

A KITAS is available to any foreigner legally married to an Indonesian for less than two years.
Once you hit the two year mark, go for the KITAP.

The KITAP allows many freedoms you don't have with the KITAS, including INFORMAL work.

Thank you Fred. If being married for more than 2 years and living out of Indonesia but never having applied for the KITAS, would I be able to apply directly for the KITAP? Or would I still need to apply for the KITAS first and two years later apply for the KITAP?

If you were married outside the country, you may be asked to legalise your marriage here. Easy enough to do at your local religious department (Muslims), but I'm unsure how other religions go about this.
Any takers?

Actually I converted to Islam and married in Indonesia under Indonesian law, but we have always lived away from Indonesia. Anyway, it seems I must first apply for the KITAS and two years later apply for the KITAP. I was just wondering if the current difficulties in KITAS applications would also apply to me.
