Students can also join various extracurricular clubs both at the university and faculty level. Universitas Gadjah Mada provides an optional private health insurance scheme for international students. Therefore, the students can choose to purchase the insurance provided by UGM or bring their own insurance. The insurance should cover health, accident, and life. Visa If the students choose to purchase the insurance provided by UGM, they should pay the fee on the same time as student service fee payment. The type of Indonesian visa used for study purpose is Limited Stay Visa (VITAS). Office of International Affairs (OIA) UGM will assist the students on the process to obtain it. Approximately 3 to 4 months of time are required to obtain the visa; the procedure is as follows: 1. International students will get a Letter of Offer to pay for nonrefundable service fee upon the successful acceptance of application 2. The Letter of Acceptance is issued upon completing the service fee payment 3. The application will then be processed for a study permit issuance at the Directorate of Higher Education in Jakarta. The process takes 1-2 months. 4. The calling visa/visa authorisation will be processed by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights once the study permit is available. The process takes 1-2 months. 5. A copy of calling visa is released and sent to student via email. Student is required to submit the calling visa to the Indonesian Embassy during the time of visa application. Please note that calling visa/visa authorisation IS NOT A VISA. It is just a permission from Immigration Office in Jakarta that the student is allowed to apply for Limited Stay Visa.
