For foreign nationals seeking to live, work, or invest in Indonesia for the longer term, several visa options are available, each tailored to different professional and personal circumstances. Here are some of the popular types of Visas in Indonesia for longer stay.
The Spouse KITAS allows the foreign spouse of an Indonesian citizen to legally reside in Indonesia. Holders can live, study, and, with the necessary permits, work in Indonesia. The KITAS is renewable annually and offers a clear pathway toward permanent residency through the KITAP.
This visa is intended for spouses and children of foreign nationals who hold a valid KITAS or KITAP. The Dependent KITAS ensures that families can stay together during long-term assignments in Indonesia, supporting a stable and secure living environment.
The Work Visa KITAP grants permanent residency status for foreign professionals who have held a Work KITAS for an extended period, usually after four consecutive years. It provides long-term employment and residency rights, eliminating the need for annual renewals and offering a streamlined process for career continuity in Indonesia.
The Investor KITAS is designed for foreign investors who own shares in an Indonesian company (PT PMA). It grants stay and work rights without requiring a separate work permit (IMTA), simplifying the relocation and operational setup process. Minimum capital investment thresholds apply, supporting Indonesia’s focus on sustainable foreign investment. Investor KITAS holders can also sponsor their spouse and dependents for corresponding long-term stay permits.
