Dependent Visa (KITAS) – Who is it for and what are the benefits?
If you stay in Indonesia to join a family member who holds a KITAS (Limited Stay Permit) in Indonesia, the Dependent Visa is the ideal solution. This type of Indonesia visa is available for the foreign nationals as spouses and children of the primary KITAS holder. With this visa, foreign nationals can access to various benefits when residing in Indonesia, such as opening bank accounts and registering a mobile phone.
It’s important to note that the Dependent KITAS doesn’t allow you to engage in full-time employment. However, if you decide to pursue part-time work or freelance opportunities, you can apply for an IMTA (Work Permit) and earn an income. In such cases, remember to register for an NPWP (Tax ID) and fulfill your yearly Individual Tax Report obligations. If you need help with filing your tax, our team can help you out, to find out more about Individual Tax Reporting, click here.
Alternatively, if you do find a full time job, then you should apply for a Working KITAS and you can change your sponsor to your new employer. To find out more about the Working KITAS, click here.
The length of the Dependent Visa will be linked with the terms on the primary KITAS, for example, if the primary KITAS is for one year, the Dependent KITAS will be for the same longevity.
6 Steps to Get Your Dependent KITAS
- Submit all documentation related to the KITAS and we will verify to ensure a successful application.
- All documentation will be uploaded to the online immigration system. Once the visa is authorised the applicant will receive an e-visa (Electronic Visa), which they will need to print.
- The applicant may now enter Indonesia using an e-visa.
- Upon arrival to Indonesia, the applicant will need to do a biometric whereby; they take a profile photo, as well as provide fingerprints.
- The KITAS (Stay Permit) will be issued and given to the applicant within 3 days.
- Within 14 days of the KITAS issuance, you must register at the Civil Departments, whereby you will obtain your SKSKPS (Certificate of Family Formation of Temporary Residents) and STM (Police Certificate).
Frequently Asked questions
How long does the Dependent Visa valid?
The validity of a Dependent Visa (KITAS) in Indonesia is directly tied to the validity of the principal visa holder’s Work Visa (KITAS or KITAP) typically 1 year, with the possibility of visa extension.
Can I start the Visa application before I enter Indonesia?
Yes, you can. You can apply for Dependent Visa before you enter the country and we can send you your E-Visa. For your permit to be official you will need to do a biometric session either at a local immigration office in Indonesia where you reside or at the airport.
During the process, do I need to visit an Indonesian Embassy to collect my work permit? How long does this take?
Up until October 2020, it was mandatory for all visas to be collected from an Indonesian Embassy overseas, however, now the Indonesian’s Immigration Authorities can offer Electronic Visas (E-Visas).

If I do not wish to extend my KITAS, what should I do?
To terminate your KITAS you must apply for an EPO (Exit Permit Only), whereby your work permit will be terminated. The EPO is very quick and generally takes a few days. Once your EPO stamp is issued, you will need to leave the country within 7 days.
If you have already left Indonesia, you will need to apply for a ERP (Exit Re-entry Permit).

If you overstay your visa, you may be subject to daily fines, blocking from the country and even deportation. We cannot stress enough the importance of keeping your visa up to date.
