Applying for a Study Permit
If you are interested in studying at BINUS University, you will need to secure a study visa in order to remain in Indonesia for the duration of your studies. The study visa is essential for international students to legally stay in the country while pursuing their academic programs. Before you can apply for a study visa, you must first obtain a study permit, known as Izin Belajar (IB). This permit serves as official authorization from the Indonesian government that you are allowed to study in the country.
As the host institution, BINUS University will assist you in applying for the Izin Belajar (IB) on your behalf. Once your application is submitted, the request will be reviewed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of Indonesia. They will evaluate the details and, if everything is in order, will issue the IB, which is a necessary step for your visa application.
The process of obtaining the IB typically takes 5 to 7 working days, but it’s important to plan ahead and submit all required documentation well in advance to avoid any delays. To initiate the process, you must submit the following documents at least 12 weeks before your expected arrival date in Indonesia. This ensures that there is enough time to process your application and avoid any last-minute issues.
