Background

The family established their PT PMA company in 2023 and obtained Investor KITAS valid for 2 years:

• Investor KITAS valid until 08.07.2025 — for the first parent,
• Investor KITAS valid until 08.07.2025 — for the second parent,
• Dependent KITAS valid until 08.07.2025 — for the first child,
• Dependent KITAS valid until 08.07.2025 — for the second child.

Previously, in 2023, the company was registered under the old regulations with minimum shareholder ownership. However, in 2024 immigration rules changed:
now, to extend an Investor KITAS, companies must increase their capital:

• At least IDR 10 billion per shareholder who wishes to extend the KITAS.
• IDR 15 billion, if shareholders want to apply for a KITAP (you can apply for KITAP after 3 years on an Investor KITAS and get a 5-year permanent stay permit).

Conclusion

If the family plans to stay in Indonesia for another 1–2 years,
➔ switching to Nomad KITAS Sponsored or Student KITAS for children + Dependent KITAS for parents (with visa run) is more cost-effective.

If the family’s plan is long-term residence and obtaining a KITAP,
➔ it’s better to extend the Investor KITAS by updating the company’s capital.
