Timelines and rights

Work

The visa covers matters surrounding the investment. Any occupation that does not match the permission to stay is prohibited.

Who you can bring with you

The investor's family members may obtain a permission to stay in Indonesia.

A spouse

May obtain a family visa (E31B — for the partner of an ITAS/ITAP holder). It is valid for the term of the investor's main visa. A marriage certificate and copies of the investor's passport are required.

Minor children (under 18)

May obtain a family visa (E31D or E31E). It is valid for the term of the main visa. A birth certificate and copies of the investor's passport are required.

Adult children and parents

Usually not included in the E28C programme. They may apply for family visas only if they are the spouse or a minor child of the investor.

Trips, renewal and the grace period

The permission to stay is granted for 5 or 10 years; the ITAS is arranged automatically on entry. The term can be extended and the status converted into other forms of limited stay.

The limited permission to stay (ITAS) is issued for 5 or 10 years and may be extended through an immigration office. After three years of continuous residence in Indonesia the investor may apply to convert the ITAS into a permanent permission (ITAP — Izin Tinggal Tetap). This requires documents on the place of residence, a valid ITAS, a letter on integration and a recommendation from the relevant government body. The ITAP is also valid for a set period and may be extended. After the ITAP the investor may apply for Indonesian citizenship.

What comes next: permanent residence and citizenship

Route to permanent residence

Through ITAP. The investor's ITAS is changed to a permanent ITAP once they have lived in Indonesia for 3 consecutive years.

Route to citizenship

The citizenship application is filed after living in Indonesia for 5 consecutive years or 10 years with breaks.

Frequently asked questions about Golden investor visa

How long do I have to live in Indonesia before I can apply for the permanent permission (ITAP)?

You have to live in Indonesia for at least 3 consecutive years from the issue of the initial ITAS. After that you may apply to convert it into an ITAP (a permanent permission to stay).

Can I take employment if I hold an E28C visa?

No, the E28C visa is issued for investment activity. You may receive dividends and profits from your investments, but employment at other enterprises is not permitted without a separate work permit.

Can I bring my family to Indonesia?

Yes, your spouse and minor children may obtain family visas (E31B for a spouse, E31D/E31E for children). They may live in Indonesia for the period of your stay.

Can I obtain Indonesian citizenship with an E28C visa?

Yes, but it takes a certain amount of time. After living in Indonesia for 5 consecutive years or 10 years with breaks you may apply for naturalisation (the grant of citizenship). All the ITAS and ITAP documents have to be provided.

What is the processing time for an E28C visa application?

Processing takes 5 working days from receipt of the state fee payment. The examination of the documents itself is quicker, but the final issue of the visa depends on confirmation of the payment.
