Visiting Researcher

Applicants are generally expected to identify a staff member at the University of Indonesia who has agreed to serve as a host/scientific counterpart during the length of visiting scholar’s stay or to provide research guidance.

It is usually easier for the Faculty to accommodate short visits. Period’s extension will be considered for distinguished visitors making major contribution to Faculty’s research.

The University does not extend financial support to assist visiting scholars with their living expenses. The visiting scholars are suggested to find their own sponsor or foundation to fund his/her research or may cover their personal expenses.

The Directorate for Internationalization of Education can give advice on private accommodation or reasonable guesthouse/hotel. Limited fund to cover basic accommodation may be available for certain faculties. The Directorate for Internationalization of Education staff will assist new applicants to find a suitable accommodation upon request.

Before the visiting scholars do their research at UI, they need to prepare their valid passport, research visa (processed by Ristek), research permit (processed by Ristek), report to immigration office and police headquarters upon their arrival,  travelling permit, research Information report, KITAS (for scholars who will stay in Indonesia for 1 year or more), exit permit, etc. However, Directorate for Internationalization of Education will assist them to process it, which costs will be covered by their own personal expenses.

Visiting scholars have to arrange their health insurance coverage prior to leaving their home countries. It is responsibility of the scholars to arrange their own medical insurance to protect against medical expenses during their research period at UI.
