The Spouse Sponsored KITAS is the Visa you are looking for if you are a foreigner married to an Indonesian Citizen. There are two available options: The Spouse Sponsored KITAS (Kartu Izin Tinggal Terbatas) which carries a one-year validity & 2 years validity.
The Spouse KITAS is a temporary stay permit granted to foreign nationals married to an Indonesian citizen. This visa is available regardless of the number of years of marriage, as long as the marriage is legally registered in Indonesia. It allows the holder to reside in the country for up to one year, with annual extensions possible.
For those looking to live in Indonesia long-term with their spouse in Indonesia, the Spouse KITAP offers a permanent stay solution. Foreigners can obtain a spouse visa KITAP after at least two years of marriage and holding a KITAS, provided the marriage is legally recognised. This visa streamlines residency for foreigners committed to family life in Indonesia.
1 – 2 years with the possibility of extension.
Indonesia offers a range of Limited Stay Permits (KITAS) that support various long-term purposes including business, family reunification, employment, and retirement—each tailored to specific needs for staying legally in Indonesia. These KITAS options provide flexibility for foreign nationals and expatriates living in key hubs like Jakarta and Bali.
Ideal for family members of a KITAS holder, this visa allows Indonesian spouses or kids to legally reside in the country. Common among expat families in Jakarta and Bali, the Dependent KITAS supports family unification under one primary permit holder.
The Investor KITAS grants foreign investors a long-term stay and entry permit to manage their business in Indonesia. This visa includes a Multiple Exit Re-Entry Permit (MERP), streamlining the ability to enter and exit the country while maintaining residency status.
Targeted at foreign nationals legally employed by companies in Indonesia, the Working KITAS requires a valid work permit (IMTA). This Limited Stay Permit ensures you are allowed to work under a formal Working Visa, fulfilling immigration and labour compliance.
Designed for retirees aged 55 and above, this Retirement Visa caters to expatriates looking to stay in Indonesia to spen their retirement years. It offers a legal pathway for long-term living without employment obligations.
