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.Â
Eligible individuals can obtain an Investor ITAS without needing a separate work permit, simplifying the process of conducting and managing business in Indonesia.
