Indonesia 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.

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).

The Second Home Visa is designed for foreign nationals seeking a long-term basis to stay in Indonesia, while the Golden Visa provides longer-term residence options for eligible investors, professionals and other qualifying individuals. Both can support international residents looking to establish a presence in Indonesia and the wider Southeast Asia region, but their eligibility and financial requirements differ.

Generally, dependents do not need to invest. The Golden Visa for Dependent Family members is linked to the principal Golden Visa holder and follows the relevant immigration category and policy. Depending on the route, applicants may need to provide evidence of financial support, such as USD 2000 or the applicable amount, within 3 months where required. A professional immigration agency can help confirm whether any investment requirement applies to your circumstances.
