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.

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.
