Indonesia visa types

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.
