Visas

Every stay permit that matters, with the real requirements and costs.

• Which Indonesian visa do you actually need?

  The index codes changed. Here is what each one lets you do, and which ones unlock property ownership.

• What are the real requirements for the E33G remote worker KITAS?

  One year of residency for remote workers — with an income floor and one rule people break immediately.

• How does the Investor KITAS (E28A) work?

  Two years of residency attached to your PT PMA shareholding — and the permit most property-holding structures run on.

• What does the Second Home Visa actually require?

  A deposit in an Indonesian state bank or qualifying property, in exchange for five or ten years of residence with no sponsor.

• How do you get permanent residence in Indonesia?

  ITAP is converted from a qualifying temporary permit, not applied for directly. Which permit you hold decides whether the door exists.

• What is the Indonesian Golden Visa, and is it worth it?

  Five or ten year permits for large investors and invited figures. Still a temporary permit, despite the name.

• How does a spouse or family KITAS work?

  Five different sub-indices depending on exactly who you are joining. Choosing the wrong one is the usual delay.

• Which visa lets you come and check out a property properly?

  There is a purpose-built pre-investment category. Most buyers use a tourist visa and run out of time.

• Why did all the Indonesian visa codes change?

  The system went from 133 indices to 110 in 2025, and employer-sponsored work visas from 31 to 6. Old advice is now wrong.
