Overview
In 2026, among foreigners living in Indonesia — especially in Bali — the demand for long-term visas and residence permits has increased significantly.
The most popular options are:
- Nomad KITAS / Remote Worker Visa (E33G)
- Retirement KITAS and Silver Hair KITAS
- Spouse & Family KITAS
- Dependent KITAS (for family members of KITAS holders)
- Business / Pre-Investment Visa D12
- Student KITAS (for children)
Nomad KITAS / Remote Worker Visa (E33G)
The Nomad KITAS is designed for remote professionals, freelancers, and entrepreneurs working for overseas companies.
It is issued for 1 year and can be extended for another year.
Key features:
- Individual KITAS (family members cannot be added).
- Not suitable for spouses or dependents.
- Can only be processed offshore (outside Indonesia).
- Ideal for digital nomads and remote workers who wish to live legally in Bali or other regions of Indonesia.
Retirement KITAS (for 55+)
The Retirement KITAS is a popular option among foreigners aged 55 and above who wish to live in Indonesia year-round.
It is valid for 1 year, renewable annually up to 5 years, after which it can be converted into a long-term KITAP (more about KITAP →).
Available for citizens of the following countries:
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Brunei Darussalam, Bulgaria, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, India, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Maldives, Malaysia, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Republic of South Africa, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Suriname, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America.
Silver Hair KITAS (for 60+)
For foreigners aged 60 and above, the Silver Hair KITAS provides an excellent alternative even if their nationality is not listed under the Retirement KITAS program.
The main requirement is a deposit in an Indonesian bank, which remains in the account during the visa period and can earn interest.
This deposit may temporarily decrease but must be replenished before inspection.
Spouse Family KITAS (for those married to an Indonesian citizen)
If your spouse is an Indonesian citizen, you can apply for a Spouse Family KITAS.
This type of KITAS allows conversion to a KITAP after just 2 years, and later — eligibility to apply for Indonesian citizenship after 5 years of continuous stay.
Advantages:
- The most lenient and fastest route toward permanent residency and citizenship.
- Allows employment (after obtaining a work permit).
- Renewable without leaving Indonesia.
Dependent KITAS (for family members of KITAS holders)
Dependent KITAS can be issued to a spouse, children, or parents of a KITAS holder if the main applicant holds one of the following:
- Working KITAS — Employment KITAS
- Investor KITAS — Investment KITAS
- Second Home Visa — Golden Visa Program
Business & Pre-Investment Visa (D12)
The D12 Visa is a multiple-entry business visa that allows you to:
- Enter and exit Indonesia an unlimited number of times.
- Stay in the country for up to 6 months per visit, with the possibility to extend for another 6 months.
- Choose between 1-year or 2-year validity based on the paid government fee.
This visa suits entrepreneurs, investors, and those exploring Indonesia for future business or relocation.
Student KITAS (for children)
Children of school and preschool age can obtain a Student KITAS valid for 1–2 years.
It is processed through an educational institution — a school, kindergarten, or learning center — registered by our agency with immigration.
If your child’s school or kindergarten hasn’t heard of the Student KITAS yet — no problem. Simply share our contact details: we will explain the process, prepare all required documents, and sign an agreement with the school. Once the institution is registered in the immigration system, you will receive a reliable long-term KITAS for your child.
Many schools and kindergartens in Bali already work with us. If yours doesn’t yet, parental initiative often makes the difference — helping schools offer a stable and convenient visa solution for students, and providing parents with peace of mind that their children can stay in Indonesia without frequent visa runs or unnecessary bureaucracy.
For children, this is truly the best option available.
Alternatively, you may choose Tourist Visa C1 (single entry) or D1 (multiple entry) — both suitable for short-term stays and school breaks. This option is convenient if your child spends part of the year abroad, for example during winter and summer holidays.
Required Documents from Employers, PT PMA Companies, and Schools
To submit applications for Working, Investor, or Student KITAS, as well as register a sponsor account with immigration, the following documents are required:
- Company or school letterhead;
- Surat Permohonan Reg Akun with duty stamp (template provided by us);
- Guarantee Letter for each applicant;
- Copies of documents of the employer company, PT PMA, or school;
- KTP/passport and photo of the director.
The corporate account registration is done once only, with a one-time service fee of 1,500,000 IDR.

In 2026, Indonesia continues to expand and diversify its long-term residence options for foreigners.
