The right permit for how you actually live and work here.
KITAS for people relocating or staying long term, and short-stay visas for everything in between. We tell you which one you actually need, then sponsor and file it.
KITAS or visa, the difference is residency.
A KITAS is a residency permit, issued as an e-Visa and an electronic ITAS rather than a physical card, and it covers people staying months or years. A visa is shorter: it gets you in the door for a specific purpose, but it does not make you a resident and it does not renew into one. Picking the wrong track costs weeks, not days.
Long-stay residency
01 Working KITAS (E23/E25)
The standard route for foreign professionals employed by an Indonesian company, sponsored by the employer, including directors and commissioners of their own PT PMA. Twelve months at a time, renewable up to five times. It runs on an approved RPTKA (foreign worker utilisation plan) and an IMTA, both of which we file.
02 Remote Worker Visa (E33G)
A permit for people working remotely for a company registered outside Indonesia. No Indonesian sponsor needed, multiple entry, and family can come too. One year at a time, renewable up to five times, to a maximum of six years. Income has to come from abroad, at least USD 60,000 a year, with USD 2,000 sitting in the bank for three months before you apply.
03 Retirement Visa (E33F / E33E)
Two versions, both open from age 55 and both non-working. E33F is the standard retirement route, renewed annually. E33E, Silver Hair, runs five or ten years at a stretch instead of the usual annual renewal. Neither allows local employment or income, in any form.
04 Second Home Visa
Five years of residency, extendable, against USD 130,000 or equivalent placed in property or a deposit with a state-owned bank. No age requirement. The application runs online, but the proof of capital has to be reported in person at the immigration office within 90 days of arrival.
05 Golden Visa (E28B)
Indonesia’s investment-residency programme, five or ten years, built for people moving real capital rather than relocating a lifestyle. Individual applicants qualify by establishing a PT PMA with capital of USD 2.5 million for five years or USD 5 million for ten. Corporate routes cover directors and representatives of companies with audited turnover of USD 25 million for five years or USD 50 million for ten.
06 Spouse KITAS (E31B)
For the foreign spouse of an existing KITAS or KITAP holder, joining them as a dependent. It runs for the same period as the primary permit, and it renews alongside it.
07 Dependent KITAS (E31E)
For children and other eligible dependents of a KITAS holder, running alongside whichever permit sponsors it, whether that is a Working KITAS, a Golden Visa, or a retirement route.
Short-stay entry
01 Multiple Entry Business Visa (D1/D2)
One, two, or five years of validity, unlimited entries, 60 days per visit with no extension of an individual visit. Built for people who need to be in and out of Indonesia repeatedly for business, not to live here. Meetings, site visits, supplier relationships. Not a route to employment.
02 Pre-Investment Visa (C12/D12)
For investors scouting before they commit. A longer per-entry window than the standard business visa, built for the due diligence phase: feasibility work, partner meetings, site visits, before a PT PMA even exists. C12 runs up to 180 days, D12 one or two years, both extendable.
03 Visit Visa (C1/C2)
Single-entry, applied for before travel. The step up from Visa on Arrival when a nationality is not on the VoA list, or the stay needs to run longer than a VoA allows.
04 Visa on Arrival (B1)
The simplest entry point: 30 days, extendable to 60, available to eligible nationalities on arrival or as an e-VoA arranged in advance.
05 Performer Visa (C7A/C7B)
For foreign musicians, DJs, and touring crew. A single ticketed performance already counts as work under Indonesian rules, so a tourist visa does not cover it. C7A for the performer, C7B for crew. Thirty days, single entry, not extendable.
06 Content Creator Visa (C5A)
Covers sponsored content, brand collaborations, and commercial shoots, activity immigration now actively enforces against tourist-visa holders. Sixty days, single entry, not extendable, and not yet available through the online e-visa system.
07 Bridging Visa
The onshore mechanism for changing status without leaving Indonesia. Sixty days, not extendable, valid only while you stay in the country, and it lapses the moment you leave. It is not an entry visa: it exists so that someone already here can convert onto a Working KITAS, a Spouse KITAS, or a dependent permit.
Four steps, same partner throughout.

What people ask before they apply.
If your situation is not covered here, tell us the details and we will walk you through it directly.
Which visa do I need if I am not sure yet?
Tell us your situation, how long you plan to stay, whether you will work, invest, retire, or just visit repeatedly, and we will match you to the right permit before you file anything. Getting this wrong costs weeks, not days.
Can I switch from a visa to a KITAS later?
In many cases yes, through a bridging visa. It is an onshore stay permit that lets you change status onto a KITAS without leaving Indonesia. It runs sixty days, it cannot be extended, and it lapses if you leave the country, so the sequencing matters. We plan it so you are not caught mid-stay with the wrong document.
Do you handle renewals?
Yes. We track expiry dates on every permit we file and start the renewal process well before it lapses, so you never fall out of legal status.
What happens if my KITAS or visa expires while I am still in Indonesia?
Overstaying triggers a daily fine and, past a certain point, deportation and a re-entry ban. If a renewal is going to be tight, tell us early. We would rather file ahead of the deadline than manage a problem after it.
Can my family join me on any of these?
Most long-stay KITAS routes allow spouse and dependent permits alongside the primary holder. It varies by category, Golden Visa and Second Home both include family, the short-stay visas generally do not since they are not residency permits.
The conversation happens in the language you think in.
Talk to us before you commit.
A first conversation costs nothing and usually saves more than it costs. Tell us what you are planning; we will tell you straight what it takes.
