Spouse Visa (Spouse KITAS) – Who is it for and what are the benefits?
As with all Visa’s in Indonesia, they can be unnecessarily complicated and time consuming. In this guide we explain the types of Spouse Visas available, look at the benefits and give tips and advice to ensure you obtain the correct visa category for your needs.
Married to an Indonesian Citizen?
The Spouse Sponsored KITAS is the Visa you are looking for if you are a foreigner married to an Indonesian Citizen. There are two available options: 1. The Spouse Sponsored KITAS (Kartu Izin Tinggal Terbatus) which carries a one-year validity & 2. The Spouse Sponsored KITAP (Kartu Izin Tinggal Tetap) which carries a 5-year validity.
By obtaining the Spouse Sponsored Visa there are many perks, which include:
- Validity to stay in Indonesia for up to 5 years
- An Indonesian ID KTP (Kartu Tanda Penuduk)
- Ability to obtain a drivers license, open bank accounts, apply for loans and credit cards
- Eligibility to become an Indonesian Citizen
- Eligibility for joint ownership of property with your spouse
- Additionally, you will receive a variety of other documentation including: Multiple entry permit, Indonesian ID and a national police registration card SKLD.
If you are married to a non-Indonesian Citizen and need a Spouse Visa then you will require a Dependant Visa
The Dependant Visa works very similarly to the standard work visa (KITAS) however, you will not be required to apply for a work permit (IMTA). This Visa can vary in length and the time allowance is dependant on the primary working visa.
By obtaining the Dependant KITAS, you will be able to live in Indonesia and be able to enter and exit freely.

Can you directly apply for a Spouse KITAP?
If your sponsor is your spouse, you will need to have been married for at least two years before you can apply for a Spouse KITAP.
Do you need to be above a certain age to apply for this Visa?
