Immigration to Indonesia — at a glance
Indonesia's immigration system is administered by the Directorate General of Immigration (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi, Ditjen Imigrasi) under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. Visas are issued either online through the official e-Visa portal, on arrival at the airport for selected nationalities, or at Indonesian missions abroad for longer-stay categories. Inside Indonesia, immigration offices issue residence permits — KITAS (Limited Stay Permit) and KITAP (Permanent Stay Permit) — which become the primary identity document for long-staying foreigners.
The country has been steadily liberalising tourism access. The Visa-on-Arrival (VoA) scheme covers around 90 nationalities, granting 30 days extendable once for a total of 60 days. The B211A Tourist Visa (single or multiple entry, 60 days extendable to up to 180 days) covers longer tourism. The Second Home Visa, launched in 2022, offers 5- or 10-year residence to wealthy retirees and investors with around IDR 2 billion (~US$130,000) in proof of funds. The Bali-focused Digital Nomad / Remote Work visa was relaunched in 2024 as the E33G Remote Worker visa, granting up to 1 year of residence with a US$60,000 minimum annual income.
Working in Indonesia requires a coordinated work-permit and residence sequence. The local sponsor obtains a Notification of Use of Foreign Workers (RPTKA) from the Ministry of Manpower, then applies for the work permit (IMTA) and a Limited Stay Visa (Visa Tinggal Terbatas, VITAS). Once VITAS is collected at a consulate or e-Visa portal, the worker enters Indonesia and converts to KITAS within 30 days. The guides in this hub focus on the RPTKA/IMTA/VITAS/KITAS handoff that determines whether work-residence runs cleanly and predictably.
After arrival, the post-residence sequence runs through three institutions. Imigrasi issues the KITAS or KITAP card; the Ministry of Manpower handles the Work Permit; and the local Dukcapil and tax office handle the resident's NPWP tax ID and SIM driver's-licence equivalents for foreigners. Spouses of Indonesian citizens follow a 2-year KITAS-to-KITAP path that simplifies most administrative steps and removes the work-permit requirement once KITAP is granted, while employer-sponsored KITAS holders typically renew annually in lock-step with their work-permit cycle.

FAQ
Indonesia immigration FAQ
The questions readers ask most about applying to live, work, study, and visit Indonesia
KITAS (Kartu Izin Tinggal Terbatas) is a Limited Stay Permit valid for 6 months to 2 years, renewable up to 5 years total. KITAP (Kartu Izin Tinggal Tetap) is a Permanent Stay Permit valid for 5 years and renewable indefinitely. Most foreigners enter on a VITAS that converts to KITAS within 30 days; KITAP is available after 3+ years of KITAS in qualifying categories or after 2 years of marriage to an Indonesian citizen.
The E33G is a 1-year e-Visa for remote workers who earn at least US$60,000 annually from a non-Indonesian employer or non-Indonesian clients (for freelancers). Applicants must show passport, contract, last 3 months of bank statements showing the income, and evidence of accommodation in Indonesia. The visa cannot be used to take up Indonesian employment.
Your Indonesian employer first applies for a Notification of Use of Foreign Workers (RPTKA) from the Ministry of Manpower. Once approved, the company applies for the work permit (IMTA) and the Limited Stay Visa (VITAS). You collect the VITAS at an Indonesian consulate or via the e-Visa portal and convert to a KITAS at the local Imigrasi office within 30 days of arrival.
The Second Home Visa (E33E) is a 5- or 10-year residence permit launched in 2022 for foreigners who deposit at least IDR 2 billion (~US$130,000) at a state-owned Indonesian bank or who own Indonesian property of equivalent value. It is aimed at wealthy retirees, investors, and high-net-worth individuals. Holders can't work in Indonesia but can stay long-term and re-enter freely.
Spouses on a Family KITAS can study, run their own household, and engage in non-employment activities, but they cannot take a salaried position with an Indonesian employer without their own RPTKA-supported Work KITAS. Spouses of Indonesian citizens have wider rights and a clearer KITAP path after 2 years of marriage.
