~ Birth of a Child: If a child is born to a foreign national holding an ITAS/ITAP, a report must be filed with the immigration office within 90 days of the birth date.

What happens if you fail to report?
Failure to report changes in registered information may result risks and receiving notification from immigration bureau. The risks include:

     ~ Potential penalties, including imprisonment of up to 3 months or a fine of up to IDR 25,000,000.
