Chat with Bali Zero on WhatsAppIf you're investing in an Indonesian company, you may qualify for an Investor KITAS (visa code E28A) - allowing you to live in Indonesia based on your shareholding in a PT PMA, not employment. This guide covers the current requirements per Keputusan Menteri Imigrasi M.IP-08.GR.01.01/2025 and Bali Zero's official service pricing.
Hybrid KITAS System (since May 2025):
Indonesian Immigration now uses a hybrid system for KITAS applications:
Important: Physical presence in Indonesia is still required for biometrics. Processing times may vary by local immigration office. Per E28A, ITAS and re-entry permit are issued automatically upon entry.
A Limited Stay Permit (ITAS) for foreign investors who:
Key benefit: Pure investors don't need RPTKA (work authorization) or DKP-TKA fees. If your shareholding is below IDR 10B and you hold a director/commissioner position, you must apply for a Working KITAS (E25B) instead.

From company formation to KITAS
Pure Investor (E28A only): No RPTKA needed, no DKP-TKA fee.
Investor + Director: If your shareholding is below IDR 10B and you hold a director position, you need a Working KITAS (E25B - Visa Kerja Direktur Perusahaan) with RPTKA and DKP-TKA fee.
Many foreign investors choose to be both shareholder AND director, which requires Working KITAS (E25B) instead of Investor KITAS (E28A).
As a pure investor, you can:
You cannot:
| Service | Price (IDR) |
|---|---|
| Investor KITAS 2 Years (Offshore) | 17,000,000 |
| Investor KITAS 2 Years (Altus/Onshore) | 19,000,000 |
| Investor KITAS 2 Years (Extend) | 18,000,000 |
| DKP-TKA fee | Not required (pure investor) |
Comparison with Working KITAS (Bali Zero pricing):
| Service | Price (IDR) |
|---|---|
| Working KITAS (Offshore) | 34,500,000 |
| Working KITAS (Altus/Onshore) | 36,000,000 |
| Working KITAS (Extend) | 31,500,000 |
Investor KITAS saves approximately IDR 14-17 million compared to Working KITAS, plus no ongoing DKP-TKA fees.
