KITAS Indonesia Application
To reside or work in Indonesia for a long period of time, a foreign national must submit a KITAS application. Here is everything you need to know about obtaining a KITAS.
What is KITAS?
Foreign nationals can legally work or stay in Indonesia for up to 12 months with a KITAS (Kartu Izin Tinggal Terbatas) work permit. It's also frequently referred to as a limited stay permit, work permit, or work visa.
What are the type of KITAS?
Working Permit KITAS
For foreign workers employed in Indonesia
Investor KITAS
For foreign investors holding shares in Indonesian companies
Dependent KITAS
For spouses and children of KITAS holders
Retirement KITAS
For foreign retirees wanting to reside in Indonesia
How to obtain KITAS?
You will require sponsorship from a business or organization with an Indonesian registration in order to obtain a working KITAS. These companies can include:
You must first acquire a VITAS (Visa Izin Tinggal Terbatas), followed by an ITAS (Izin Tinggal Terbatas), and finally your working visa, the KITAS.
An Indonesian-owned company
(PT PMDN)A foreign-owned company
(PT PMA)A representative office
A foundation
The Journey to KITAS
A seamless transition of your immigration status
VITAS
Visa Izin Tinggal TerbatasThe initial entry visa required to come to Indonesia for stay permit purposes.
ITAS
Izin Tinggal TerbatasThe temporary stay status granted by immigration upon arrival and document processing.
KITAS
Kartu Izin Tinggal TerbatasThe final official identity card issued as your legal limited stay permit.
How long does a work permit remain valid?
In Indonesia, a single period of KITAS or a work permit is valid for six to twelve months.
Your KITAS may be extended once every 12 months for a maximum of five additional years. Additionally, the duration of your permission will be determined by your position within your business, specifically:
Directors & Commissioners
A 12-month KITAS will be granted to directors, commissioners, and individuals listed in the company's incorporation paperwork.
Manager Level Employees
Manager-level employees and lower employees often have a six-month KITAS. However, if they can provide the necessary documentation or have more than five years of relevant work experience, managers can also receive up to twelve months.
How can a work permit be obtained?
Do tourists need to obtain a KITAS?
No, a work permit is not typically required for tourists. The Indonesian government provides both a visa on arrival and a free 30-day tourist visa for the majority of nations. A KITAS is only required for foreign nationals who intend to work in Indonesia for a prolonged period of time.
What if I only require meetings or short-term work?
You don't require a KITAS if you only intend to conduct a few meetings or short-term business in Indonesia. Rather, obtaining a business visa would be your best course of action.
In comparison to a KITAS, a business visa has simpler requirements. You are only permitted to stay for a maximum of 60 days each visit, with the opportunity to extend. Furthermore, it prevents you from earning a consistent income in Indonesia.
There are two main types of business visas accessible to employees:
Single entrance permits only one admission into Indonesia, while Several entry permits multiple entries into Indonesia over the course of up to a year.
e-KITAS: Electronic visa application
Through the new Online Single Submission (OSS) system launched by the Indonesian government in 2019, e-KITAS applications are currently urged to be submitted online by 2021.
Make sure you have the necessary paperwork before submitting them online to avoid any hassles. Online applications typically take 5 to 7 days to process, after which you or your sponsor will receive the e-KITAS by email.
