Hope you all are well my friends..
I am writing to provide some information as I promised to
some of you. This will be related to VISA application and opening a bank
account in GBP.
For VISA application, please find
attached below a list of documents required according to IBEC. Maybe some of
you are still confused with the details, so let me explain to you for each
document.
1. CAS is a document provided by a university which indicates
that you are unconditionally accepted by the university. The important thing of
this document is CAS number.
2. For the TB X-RAY result, you may perform the TB X-RAY
test in Premier Group Hospital (Premier Bintaro Hospital or Premier Jatinegara
Hospital) and it is better to have the test right after you get your blue
passport (if you are in hurry). The test costs about Rp 585.000,- and it could be
reimbursed to PPSDM. So, don't lose the original receipt and better you give it
right after you had the test to PPSDM. The test takes only 5-10 minutes and it
is only for your chest (thorax rontgen). The result will be finished on the
next day. When you get the certificate of the TB result, check the details
(date, name, etc) carefully because they make some typos sometimes.
3. IELTS Score, Academic Transcript
and Certificate.
Just make sure that the transcript and certificate are in
both English and Bahasa Indonesia.
4. All Passports included green passport if you have it. If
you use priority service for applying your VISA, you should copy your passport for
every page.
5. Pasphoto. In my case, I had printed my photos in BP but unfortunately
my agent said that my photos were not proper for VISA and she asked me to make
my photo in VFS (VISA Application Center). It costs Rp 45.000,- for 4 photos.
6. Surat Keterangan Kerja is not required for us.
7. Kartu Keluarga and Akte Lahir should be in English and
Bahasa Indonesia. You may use IBEC's service for translating your documents. It
costs Rp 150.000,- for each page.
8. An airline ticket booking. You can skip it.
9. Sponsorship Letter means Financial Guarantee from PPSDM.
I submitted all of my documents to IBEC and transferred the
fee (Rp 6.960.000,-) to their account. The fee was included VISA and IBEC's fee
but for the charge of priority service, I had to pay in cash (Rp 2.100.000,-) when
I was in VFS. My VISA is currently being processed and I will inform you later
about how many days the priority service will take (remind me ya....).
Next, for opening bank account in
GBP, I made a GBP account in HSBC. In my opinion, HSBC is the best choice since
we can transfer in GBP to another GBP account and withdraw the banknotes in GBP
for 1:1. That means our money will not be converted to IDR for doing those
transactions. I opened my account in HSBC Pondok Indah branch and it took about
2 weeks until I got my account number. Here the list of documents that I
provided to them last time,
1. Fill the from from HSBC
2. ID Card
3. NPWP
4. FC another Buku Tabungan which is
in the same address with my ID card (since my address in ID card is different
with my NPWP)
5. 3 months bank statement for my
current bank account
6. Salary slip
7. Financial Guarantee
Finally, I do really hope that all of
the information above would be useful for you. If you want to ask more
questions, you can contact me by email, whatsapp or LINE :)
By writing this email, it makes me realize
that I am missing you guys and all of our activities in dorm. I can imagine
that currently I am sharing this information in dining hall during my dinner
time ;_(
Stay health and keep in touch, my friends!
Regards,
Dewi
