Indonesia Dependent Visa KITAS E31C

If you stay in Indonesia to join a family member who holds a KITAS (Limited Stay Permit) in Indonesia, the Dependent Visa is the ideal solution. A Dependent KITAS (Visa e31h) in Indonesia is available for the foreign nationals as spouses and children of the primary KITAS holder. With this visa, foreign nationals can access to various benefits when residing in Indonesia, such as opening bank accounts and registering a mobile phone.

The length of the Dependent Visa will be linked with the terms on the primary KITAS, for example, if the primary KITAS is for one year, the Dependent KITAS will be for the same longevity.

For those married to an Indonesian citizen, the Spouse KITAS may be more appropriate. This limited stay visa offers additional rights and longer-term stability, making it a preferred option for foreign spouses building a life in Indonesia.

Other Type of KITAS to do Business in Indonesia

Golden Visa Indonesia

Indonesia’s Golden Visa offers long-term stay opportunities for high-net-worth individuals, including foreigners with an Indonesian spouse or kids, or existing KITAS holders looking to secure more permanent residency. Popular among expatriates in Jakarta and Bali, the Golden Visa simplifies investment entry and offers extended benefits for qualified individuals.

Investor KITAS

The Investor KITAS is issued to foreign investors who wish to conduct business in Indonesia through shareholding in a local company (PT PMA). This visa allows holders to obtain an entry permit and freely enter and exit the country with a Multiple Exit Re-Entry Permit (MERP), streamlining the setup and operational process for long-term business engagement.

Work Visa KITAS

Designed for foreign nationals employed by Indonesian entities, the Work Visa KITAS requires an IMTA (work permit) and serves as a Limited Stay Permit. It allows the holder to legally work in Indonesia and is commonly used by professionals in sectors ranging from tech to manufacturing.

Retirement KITAS

The Retirement KITAS is a 1-year stay visa tailored for expatriates over 55 years old. It grants legal residency to a foreigner wishing to pass their later years in Indonesia, with the flexibility to renew annually. Holders enjoy the right to reside in popular destinations while complying with local immigration regulations.

FAQ

Can I start the Visa application before I enter Indonesia?

Yes, you can. You can apply for Dependent Visa before you enter the country and we can send you your E-Visa. For your permit to be official you will need to do a biometric session either at a local immigration office in Indonesia where you reside or at the airport.

To terminate your KITAS you must apply for an EPO (Exit Permit Only), whereby your work permit will be terminated. The EPO is very quick and generally takes a few days. Once your EPO stamp is issued, you will need to leave the country within 7 days.

If you have already left Indonesia, you will need to apply for a ERP (Exit Re-entry Permit).

Children under the age of 18 years old who are unmarried are eligible to apply for a Dependent Visa (KITAS) if their parent holds a valid work visa (KITAS) and work permit (IMTA).
