With professional support from ABSVISA Bali, the entire process—from eligibility review and document preparation to immigration submission and approval—is handled with full legal compliance, efficiency, and clarity, ensuring a smooth pathway for foreign investors building their future in Indonesia.
What Is the 2-Year Investor KITAS (E28A)?
Investor KITAS E28A is a two-year limited stay permit specifically designed for foreign shareholders who actively invest in an Indonesian PT PMA company.
This residence status allows investors to:
- Legally live in Indonesia for 2 years
- Conduct business, investment, and company-related activities
- Travel in and out of Indonesia with multiple re-entry access
- Sponsor eligible family members under Family KITAS
- Build a pathway toward long-term residence or Investor KITAP
To qualify, the investor must hold minimum share ownership of IDR 10 billion, while the company must also meet minimum paid-up capital and declared investment plan requirements in accordance with Indonesian investment regulations.
Purpose of Visit and Permitted Activities

Permitted activities include:
