Using Sponsor ID for Villa Rental

For villa managers, the **registration of guests (Pelaporan Orang Asing)** is a legal requirement under Indonesian law. Traditionally, this involves manual handling of sensitive passport data. The IDIV platform simplifies this, allowing for faster, more professional, and highly secure check-ins.

Benefits for Villa Managers

The Check-In Workflow

1. Guest Arrival: Request the guest's IDIV card or Sponsor ID.
2. Scan QR: Use any mobile device to scan the QR code on the back of the card.
3. Verify Status: Ensure the portal returns a VALID status.
4. Record Context: Note the 'Visa Type' and 'Permit Expiry' for your guest log.
5. Completion: Hand the card back. You have now verified the guest's legal status without the need for physical paperwork.

Handling Discrepancies

If the IDIV scan returns EXPIRED or NOT FOUND, it is recommended to:

• Request the guest’s physical passport for secondary check.
• Advise the guest to contact their sponsor (PT Indonesian Visas Agency) immediately.
• Report the discrepancy via the portal to ensure local security is aware of the change in status.

Case Study: Short-Term Luxury Rental

A guest arrives at a high-end Canggu villa. Instead of the reception staff taking a photo of their passport on a personal phone (a major security risk), they scan the guest's IDIV card. The system confirms the guest is on a valid B211A Business Visa sponsored by a recognized agency. The check-in is complete in 30 seconds, and the guest feels their data is being handled professionally.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do I still need to report to the police? Yes. IDIV facilitates the verification, but you must still follow local 'Wajib Lapor' (Report Stay) regulations as usual.
• Is there a fee for Villa owners to use IDIV? No. Verification is free for all hospitality partners.
• Can I use IDIV for security deposits? Use the IDIV record as proof of identity for the deposit agreement, but do not keep the physical card.
