E31 Dependent Visa – Who is it for and what are the benefits

A Dependent Visa (KITAS) in Indonesia is a type of visa that allows family members (spouse, children under 17 years old) of a foreign national who holds a primary visa (like a work permit or KITAS/KITAP) to live with them in Indonesia.

A Dependent Golden Visa serves the same purpose but is specifically tied to the Indonesian Golden Visa program. This program offers 5 to 10-year residency options to foreign investors, individuals with exceptional talent, and those seeking a second home in Indonesia.

  2. Prepare and provide all the requirements. Lets Move Indonesia can help to navigate the right documents you need to provide to avoid the complexity.
  3. Submit all the documents to the Indonesian Immigration website
  4. The approval will be sent to you via e-mail
  5. The Golden Visa will be sent to your email and can be used to enter Indonesia.

Types of Dependent Golden Visa

The E31B Dependent Visa is available to the spouse of a foreign national holding a Golden Visa. The visa allows the spouse to stay in Indonesia for up to 10 years, subject to the applicable immigration requirements. The holder is not permitted to work and conduct a business in Indonesia under this visa, however can own a property under HGB.

Spouse (E31B)

The E31H Dependent Visa is intended for parents of a foreign national holding an Indonesian Golden Visa. It provides an immigration pathway for eligible parents to stay with their family member in Indonesia, subject to the applicable requirements.

The E31J Dependent Visa is available to eligible siblings of a foreign national holding an Indonesian Golden Visa, supporting family reunification where the relevant immigration conditions are satisfied.

General Requirements for a Dependent Golden Visa

  • The foreigner must have a passport with at east 6 months validity for the planned stay.
  • Documents such as a marriage certificate or birth certificate are required to prove the relationship with the Golden Visa holder.
  • The Golden Visa holder or sponsor must show they can financially support the dependent, including proof of funds in a bank account if required.
  • The dependent must obtain the correct immigration stay permit based on the approved visa.
  • A minimum USD 2000 investment or equivalent financial commitment for the last 3 months may be required depending on the Golden Visa category.

 

As Indonesian immigration regulations can change, applicants should confirm the applicable requirements before submitting an application. Professional immigration guidance can help foreign families determine the appropriate Golden Visa for dependent family members and prepare the required documentation accurately.

Common Questions About Dependent Golden Visa Indonesia

Who qualifies as a dependent?

Typically, this includes spouses, unmarried children under 18, and in some cases, parents. The specific eligibility criteria can vary depending on the primary applicant’s Golden Visa category.

It’s possible, but the process may vary depending on the specific circumstances and regulations.

What happens to my dependent visa if the primary visa holder's status changes?
