Indonesia Investor Visa / KITAS

An Investor KITAS is a temporary stay permit that allows you to reside in Indonesia, whereas an Investor Visa is the travel document that initially allows you to enter the country. Together, they allow you to live and work as a business investor in Indonesia.

Foreign investors who intend to live and work in Indonesia to manage their investments require an Investor KITAS. General requirements include making a minimum capital investment (typically around IDR 1.1 billion or USD 80,000) and supporting local employment.

There are primarily two types based on duration: Investor KITAS Index 313 (valid for 1 year, extendable) and Investor KITAS Index 314 or E28A (valid for 2 years, extendable up to 5 or 6 years depending on the latest regulations).

Absolutely. Bali is a prime destination for foreign investors, offering abundant opportunities in real estate, tourism, hospitality, and digital business sectors. Your Investor KITAS is valid across all of Indonesia.

A qualified investor is typically a foreign national who has made a minimum required investment (e.g., IDR 1.1 billion), possesses a solid business plan with financial backing, and ideally contributes to the local economy by creating jobs for Indonesian citizens.

The standard minimum investment amount to qualify for an Investor Visa is IDR 1.1 billion (approximately USD 80,000). However, total capital requirements for setting up a foreign-owned company (PT PMA) are typically IDR 10 billion.

The standard processing time through InvestinAsia for the initial e-Visa is around 14 working days. However, the complete end-to-end process, including corporate document preparation and local immigration registration, typically spans several weeks.

Requirements generally include a valid passport, digital photograph, residential address in Indonesia, CV, health/travel insurance, diploma, personal bank statements (min. USD 2,000), an Indonesian PIC, and the legality documents of the sponsoring company.

You can apply through an Indonesian embassy or consulate abroad, or you can use a licensed agency like InvestinAsia to handle the corporate sponsorship, document preparation, and bureaucratic processing on your behalf.

The initial validity is typically 1 or 2 years depending on the index (e.g., Index E28A grants an initial 2-year stay). This can be extended multiple times, allowing for a total stay of up to 5 or 6 years before requiring renewal or conversion to a permanent stay permit (KITAP).

Yes, an Investor KITAS allows you to work in Indonesia, specifically in the capacity of a Director or Commissioner managing your own company. You do not need a separate work permit (IMTA/RPTKA) if you meet the investor qualifications.
