Investor KITAS (E28A)

The Investor KITAS is a residence permit for foreigners who invest in an Indonesian company and take an active role in managing it. Unlike other types of KITAS, it allows you to legally work for your own business without paying the standard work permit fee. Investors who meet the requirements are also exempt from the annual US $1,200 levy.

This visa is ideal for entrepreneurs and business owners who want to establish a company in Indonesia and oversee its operations directly.
