Thread: Info on 12 year old going to school and visa

I don't have any personal experience, but I have read on other forums, that some schools can provide their students with a KITAS. For younger aged school kids though, it might not be available.

The school you want to send your child, might be able to offer more advice. Just getting a social visa for him is another option, but that would mean a trip to Singapore every six months.

welcome to the forum Mrs.Beefy....

Your mother, when she has a retirement Visa, can sponsor your sosbud visa....I have no clue of how many people one is allowed to sponsor..but a sponsor for your son is easily found, so he can get a sosbud visa too.

Now I come to think of it..rereading your post...you write "at least 4 times back to Aus" so if that would be like '6' times, you could just apply for a 60 day tourism-visa and let your mother sponsor your son...after 6 months your son would have to join you back to Aus and get a new sosbud visa for the next 6 months.

Like spicyayam already said, you can also check with the school your son is going to attend for a visa for him...better chance of sponsorship Kitas (12 months) when it's a International school..

Take care hope all will go well....any feedback on how or where you arranged your Visa's is greatly appreciated.
friendly greetings...Gilbert.

Your mother will eventually get a Kitas then after 5 years she can get a permenent stay visa. I advise a lot of research on this as maybe your son will want to go o school here and possibly a visa like a Social Budaya visa may not be suitable. In 5 years in here I have never heard of a case like yours.

I would suggest you get some serious professional advice rather than asking in a general forum like this. Go to a specialist and make sure what you are wanting is feasible. I can see a lot of snags. Try Bali IDE as a starter ling on this site. Perhaps talk to the Indonesian embassy but what ever you do find out first.
