Investor Visa Indonesia (KITAS)

A KITAS is a temporary stay permit, while a KITAP is a permanent residence permit. First, you need a KITAS - after holding a KITAS for multiple years, you are eligible to get a KITAP. KITAP holders usually benefit from longer validity periods and fewer renewals.

If your visa application is rejected due to a mistake on our side, we will either re-submit the application at our own expense or provide a refund if you prefer. If the rejection occurs because you are blacklisted due to previous violations of Indonesian laws, we are unfortunately unable to provide a refund. So far, we have not experienced any blacklist cases, and applications are typically approved as long as all requirements are met.

Visa RefundYou will receive a full refund if you cancel your order before we upload your data to the immigration system. However, once your application has been uploaded to immigration, a refund is no longer possible. Immigration does not refund visa fees once an application has been processed or issued, and therefore, we are unable to refund in this case. ExtensionIf you already purchased extensions and they remain unused (because you leave Indonesia earlier), we can refund the extension fee as long as you notify us early enough (before the extension process has started). If we already started the extension process, no refund is possible anymore.

If entry is denied for reasons unrelated to your visa, we usually cannot offer a refund. Common issues include: Passport validity of less than 6 months No empty passport page Missing return or onward ticket Blacklisted If an airline denies boarding due to unclear passport requirements, please contact us immediately. We will do our best to assist you and clarify the situation with the airline.

Here are the current entry requirements for entering Indonesia (including Bali): 1. Passport (very important)To enter Indonesia, you need a passport. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months on the day of entry or on the day of visa extension. Different rules may apply to other travel documents. Without sufficient passport validity, entry will be denied. 2. VisaA visa is required to enter Indonesia. Always make sure to get the correct visa for your purposes of visit! For short trips, you can buy the Visa on Arrival directly at the airport. However, we recommend applying for the e-Visa on Arrival (eVOA) in advance to save time and avoid long queues. If you stay more than 30 days, there are even better visa options like the C1 visa. For specific visit purposes, it's best to check our visa finder or contact us. 3. Outbound (onward) ticketWhen checking in for your flight to Indonesia, you may be asked to show proof of a return or onward ticket. If you cannot present one, you may be denied boarding or entry. 4. All Indonesia Arrival CardSince September 1, 2025, Indonesia has introduced the All Indonesia Arrival Card — a digital form that replaces previous customs and health declarations. You can add the Arrival Card through us, or you can complete it yourself, no earlier than 72 hours before arrival. 5. Love Bali Tourist Tax (Bali only)Visitors to Bali must pay the Love Bali Tourism Tax of 150,000 IDR (approx. 10 USD / 9 EUR). Payment options: Pay online in advance (credit cards sometimes fail), or Pay directly at the airport upon arrival You can also find the entry requirements here: Entry Requirements Indonesia

The newest version will replace the old one. If you booked the Arrival Card through us You can inform us of any changes up to 4 days before your arrival, and we will update it for you. It is essential that you present an Arrival Card with the correct information when entering Indonesia.

If you do not complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card (customs declaration), you may face: Delays at Immigration and Customs Fines (in cases of undeclared restricted items) Confiscation of items that should have been declared Accurate completion of the Arrival Card is essential for a smooth entry into Indonesia. If you haven’t filled out the Arrival Card before your trip, you can still complete it upon arrival at the airport in Indonesia. However, queues can be long, so we strongly recommend filling it out before your departure.

Yes. Completing the All Indonesia Arrival Card, which includes the customs declaration and health form, is mandatory for all travelers entering Indonesia. The Arrival Card can be filled out at the earliest 3 days (72 hours) before your arrival. When booking through us, you can provide us with your information earlier and we will send you the Arrival Card approximately 2 days before your arrival. If you haven’t completed it in advance, you can still fill it out at the airport, but you may experience longer waiting times. To ensure a smoother arrival, we recommend completing the form before your trip.

Indonesia distinguishes between prohibited items (not allowed at all) and restricted items (allowed only under specific conditions, limits, or with a declaration). 🚫 Prohibited items (not allowed under any circumstances)You may not bring the following items into Indonesia: Narcotics and illegal drugs Firearms and air guns Sharp weapons (unless declared for specific purposes) Ammunition Explosives or explosive materials Pornographic materials Bringing prohibited items can lead to confiscation, fines, detention, or criminal charges. ⚠️ Restricted items (allowed with declaration, limits, or permits)These items may be brought into Indonesia, but only under certain rules: 1. Animals, fish, plants & biological productsRequire permits from Indonesian authorities (e.g., quarantine, health certificates). 2. Cash amounts over IDR 100,000,000Must be declared to Customs. 3. Exciseable goods (alcohol & tobacco)Allowed only within duty-free limits. Above limits → declaration + import duty. 4. Personal goods beyond exemption limitsItems exceeding the duty-free allowance must be declared and taxed. 5. Commercial goodsRequire customs clearance and often import permits. 6. Re-imported or temporarily imported goodsMay require a declaration, proof of ownership, or temporary import documentation. If you are unsure whether your item is restricted, it is always safer to declare it.

When entering Indonesia, travellers are allowed to bring certain goods duty-free, up to the limits set by Indonesian Customs. 1. Personal goodsYou may bring personal items with a total value of up to USD 500 per person without paying import duties. Families travelling together can combine their allowance (e.g., USD 500 × number of family members). 2. Tobacco productsYou may bring one of the following duty-free: 200 cigarettes, or 25 cigars, or 100 grams of sliced tobacco These limits cannot be combined (e.g., cigarettes + cigars). 3. AlcoholEach traveller may bring up to 1 liter of alcoholic beverages duty-free. 4. Important notesIf you exceed the duty-free allowances, you must declare the items and may have to pay import duties/taxes. Customs rules may occasionally change — if your quantities are close to the limit, it’s safer to double-check the latest regulations.

All KITAS applications need at least 4-6 weeks. For the Work KITAS, Dependent Second Home KITAS and Second Home KITAS, it's 8-10 weeks. ​ Please check the relevant website for all further details and faster processing times if needed.

If your visa has already expired, you must expect to pay an overstay fine of 1,000,000 IDR per person per day. The fine must be paid in cash at the airport or at the Immigration Office when you leave Indonesia. It's important to plan a bit of extra time for the payment process. Longer overstays can lead to more serious consequences, such as: Complications with future visa applications Deportation Entry bans What should you do now?✔ 1. If your visa type can still be extendedStart the extension process immediately. Whether an extension is still possible depends on your visa type and how long you have overstayed. ✔ 2. If an extension is not possibleLeave Indonesia as soon as possible to minimize the overstay fine and avoid further consequences. Important:The longer you remain in Indonesia without a valid visa, the higher the risk of: increased fines administrative issues immigration investigations If you are unsure whether your visa can still be extended, contact us, and we will assess your options.

Yes, in some cases it is possible — but it depends on the visa type and immigration approval. Changing your immigration status while in Indonesia requires following specific procedures, and not all visas can be converted internally. Because immigration rules can change and approval is case-by-case, each status change must be assessed individually. We recommend contacting us before making any changes to ensure compliance and avoid unnecessary exit requirements.

Yes. Dependent children of a foreign national who holds a KITAS are generally eligible to receive their own residence permit, commonly referred to as a Dependent KITAS or KITAS Anak. A Dependent KITAS for children: allows legal residence in Indonesia, is typically valid for the same duration as the parent’s KITAS, and does not permit any work or employment. The application requires birth certificates, parental documents, and proof of legal guardianship. Contact us if you need help preparing these documents.

If your investment project fails or is terminated before the Investor KITAS expires, it can directly affect the validity of your KITAS, because the permit is tied to an active investment and a functioning PMA structure. In this situation, you must: Report the changes to the relevant authorities (Immigration and BKPM/OSS). Follow the proper procedure for adjusting or cancelling your permit. If the PMA stops operating, you will need to close the KITAS through an EPO (Exit Permit Only). If you wish to stay in Indonesia, you must apply to another eligible visa (e.g., Tourist Visa, Work KITAS, Spouse KITAS, Remote Work KITAS). Failing to report the termination of your investment project may result in immigration issues, fines, or complications for future visa applications. We can assist you with choosing the correct next steps and handling the closure or conversion process.

Not all business sectors in Indonesia are fully open to foreign investment. While Indonesia encourages foreign investors through the Investor KITAS and PMA structure, certain restricted or sensitive sectors have specific limitations or additional requirements. Restrictions may apply due to: protection of domestic industries national security considerations cultural or strategic interests foreign ownership caps (partial ownership allowed only) special licensing requirements Examples of sectors with limitations include: education media and broadcasting certain areas of transportation small-scale retail cultural and heritage-related activities Before choosing your business activity (KBLI), it is important to check whether the sector is: fully open to foreign investment, allows partial foreign ownership, or is closed and requires special structures. We can help you verify your chosen KBLI and ensure it qualifies for a PMA and Investor KITAS.

Yes — you may attend business meetings with clients when you hold an Investor KITAS, as long as the meeting is considered a non-operational activity. To remain compliant, it is recommended that you: bring an Indonesian staff member from your company as a companion, and ensure that you do not perform operational or technical work during the meeting. An Investor KITAS allows you to oversee investments, attend meetings, and represent the company, but day-to-day operational tasks must be handled by Indonesian staff or employees with the appropriate Work KITAS.

Yes. Holding a KITAS allows you to open an Indonesian bank account (private or business). This is one of the key benefits of having a legal temporary stay permit in Indonesia. With a KITAS, you can open accounts at most major Indonesian banks.

This means: you cannot hold an operational or managerial role in the second company, you cannot perform work activities there without a proper work permit, your active employment must remain tied to the company that sponsors your KITAS. Passive investment is allowed, but active involvement requires the correct visa and permits.

If you hold an Investor KITAS, you are required to report Indonesian taxes. Even if: you do not receive a salary in Indonesia, or your income is generated abroad, you still must submit an annual tax report (SPT Tahunan) as part of your responsibilities as a KITAS holder.

However, you must not perform operational or day-to-day work that would normally require a Work KITAS. If you are unsure whether your planned activities fall under “promotion” or “work”, feel free to ask us.

All Indonesian e-visas can be issued no earlier than 90 days before your planned entry date. Once your visa is issued, you have 90 days to enter Indonesia. If you do not enter within these 90 days, the visa automatically expires and becomes invalid. After you enter Indonesia, the initial visa validity period (e.g., 30 days, 60 days, etc.) starts from the day of arrival.

If you overstay your visa in Indonesia, you must pay an overstay fine of 1,000,000 IDR per day per person (around 65 USD). The payment must be made in cash at the airport or Immigration office when you leave the country. You should plan an additional 20–30 minutes at the airport for the overstay procedure. Important notesShort overstays (a few days) are usually handled quickly and result only in the standard fine. Very long overstays may lead to additional questioning, delays, further administrative actions or deportation. Paying the fine does not ban you from returning, as long as there are no other violations. The best option is always to extend your visa before it expires to avoid unnecessary fees and delays.

Rejections are very rare. In our experience, we have not had a single case where a visa application was rejected, as long as all requirements were met and the applicant provided accurate information.
