The Investor Visa (ITAS), also known as Izin Tinggal Terbatas is a visa specifically designed for business investors in Indonesia, allowing them to live and manage their business within the country with relative ease up to 2 years.
The Investor KITAS is valid for 2 years.
To qualify for an Investor Visa (Investor ITAS), a foreigner must hold shares in a PT PMA company in Indonesia as an establishment under Foreign Direct Investment regulations. The issuance of this stay permit requires shares in the company with a minimum capital investment in accordance with current IDR thresholds set by the government.
Eligible individuals can obtain an Investor ITAS without needing a separate work permit, simplifying the process of conducting and managing business in Indonesia.

While both KITAS types allow for staying in Indonesia, only the Work KITAS explicitly grants the right to work, and even then, a separate work permit is still required.
Yes, the Investor KITAS program allows your spouse and children to obtain dependent visas. This enables your family to join you in Indonesia for the duration of your KITAS.
The standard processing time for most visa types ranges from 7 to 14 working days, depending on the visa category and completeness of documentation. Delays may occur due to immigration backlogs or policy updates.
