Anais Salvatore, Immigration & Relocation Editor

As our editorial lead, Anais Salvatore is responsible for the accuracy and strategic insight that underpins our services. With a deep focus on Indonesian immigration law and its practical application for the yachting sector, Anais translates complex government decrees into clear, actionable advice for our clients and our team. Her work ensures that our guidance is always current, contextual, and directly relevant to your specific situation.

Anais’s expertise covers the full spectrum of visa options used by the marine community, including:

• The Dedicated Yacht Visa Regime: She closely tracks the evolution of Indonesia’s visit visa category for foreign yachts, including the 2026 introduction of a new, yacht-focused visa allowing a 180-day continuous stay without extensions. She clarifies how this fits within the existing visit-visa framework.
• Strategic Visa Selection: Anais provides the analysis that helps our team advise whether a 60-day Visa on Arrival (VOA), a 180-day B211A single-entry visa, or a multiple-entry D-type visa is the most effective tool for a yacht owner, captain, or crew member’s itinerary.
• Regulatory Changes: Her research follows critical policy shifts that directly impact our clients, such as the permanent abolition of the CAIT (Clearance Approval for Indonesian Territory), which has significantly simplified entry protocols for foreign-flagged vessels at ports like Benoa in Bali.
• Compliance & Documentation: She ensures our internal standards for document preparation—from sponsor letters to proof of funds—meet the increasingly strict requirements enforced by Indonesian immigration, both online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id and at the port of entry.

Through her oversight, every piece of advice we offer is grounded in verified, up-to-date information, giving you the confidence to plan your journey.

Our Dedicated Visa Operations Team

Supporting Anais’s strategic direction is our core operations team—the specialists who manage your visa application from initial enquiry to final approval. Each member has a distinct role, working in concert to ensure a smooth, transparent, and efficient process.

• Senior Case Manager: Your case manager is the architect of your visa strategy. They assess your cruising plans, duration of stay, and crew composition to recommend the optimal visa pathway. They oversee the entire lifecycle of your application, ensuring all timelines are met and potential obstacles are addressed proactively.
• Document & Compliance Specialist: With an uncompromising focus on detail, our compliance specialist is responsible for the meticulous preparation and verification of your application portfolio. They ensure every document, from your passport bio-page (which must have at least 6 months’ validity) to your sponsor letter, is formatted correctly for submission to the official immigration e-Visa portal. Their work is critical to preventing delays and rejections.
• Client Concierge (WhatsApp): As the core of our service model, your dedicated client concierge is your direct, human point of contact. They provide real-time updates, answer your questions instantly via WhatsApp, and coordinate all logistical steps, such as scheduling the in-person immigration visit required for a VOA extension.
