Dependent Golden Visa KITAS E31

A Dependent Golden Visa serves the same purpose but is specifically tied to the Indonesian Golden Visa program. A Dependent Visa (KITAS) in Indonesia is a type of visa that allows family members (spouse and children under 17 years old) of a foreign national who holds a primary visa (like a work permit or KITAS/KITAP) to live with them in Indonesia.

This program offers 5 to 10-year residency options to foreign investors, individuals with exceptional talent, and those seeking a second home in Indonesia.

The visa is a short term visa which allows 30 days of stay and extendable once, VoA is available for over 90 nationalities and can be applied for upon arrival to Indonesia, making it a quick-entry option for initial market research and informal engagements.

Single Entry Business Visa

The Single-Visit Visa is tailored for professionals entering Indonesia for specific business purposes such as attending conferences, client meetings, or feasibility studies. Valid for 60 days and extendable up to 180 days, it does not permit direct employment but is a key tool for project-based or consultancy work.

Work Visa (KITAS Permit)

A Work KITAS (Limited Stay Permit) is issued to foreign nationals formally employed by a registered Indonesian entity. It enables legal residence and employment in Indonesia and allows its holder to live and work in Indonesia, however requires a sponsorship letter, a valid job title, and approval from the Ministry of Manpower. This visa is essential for long-term expatriate assignments and skilled professionals.

FAQ

Can I start the Visa application before I enter Indonesia?

Yes, you can. You can apply for the 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).
