Are you a former Indonesian citizen (ex-WNI) or a qualifying descendant planning to live in Indonesia again? This updated guide compares E32D, E32C, E32A and E32B Repatriation KITAS routes, including eligibility, investment commitments, documents, offshore/onshore procedures, Flado fees and the separate 2026 Global Citizen of Indonesia (GCI) option.
What is Repatriation KITAS (Ex-Indonesian Citizen Visa)?
KITAS (an Indonesian Limited Stay Permit / ITAS) allows eligible foreign nationals who previously held Indonesian citizenship to reside in Indonesia. E32B serves eligible descendants, not the same applicant group as the former-citizen E32A/C/D categories. The visa (VITAS) is an entry authorization; the stay permit (e-ITAS) and valid re-entry authorization (MERP) govern residence and repeat travel.
E32 visa types: which one fits?
E32D — Ex-Indonesian, 1 year
For former Indonesian citizens seeking a one-year stay. The official 1-year category requires proof of former citizenship and a qualifying financial commitment; it is not an ordinary tourist visa.
E32C — Ex-Indonesian, 2 years
For former Indonesian citizens planning a two-year stay. Normally the sponsor/guarantor route; financial evidence and sponsor paperwork are necessary, but there is no published E32C investment-purchase commitment comparable to E32D/A/B.
E32A — Ex-Indonesian, 5-year Golden Visa
For former Indonesian citizens with a longer-term plan and a qualifying investment/deposit commitment. Official immigration references also discuss a 10-year overall E32A stay subject to the rules on extensions; do not assume an initial 10-year grant.
E32B — Descendants of ex-WNI, 5 or 10 years
For eligible first- or second-degree descendants of former Indonesian citizens, proven through the family relationship chain. Separate 5- and 10-year financial thresholds apply.
Eligibility, duration and financial requirements
| Index | Eligible applicant | Stay | Financial evidence / commitment |
|---|---|---|---|
| E32D | Former Indonesian citizen | 1 year | US$10,000 qualifying investment or state-owned bank deposit commitment |
| E32C | Former Indonesian citizen | 2 years | 3-month bank statement showing at least US$2,000 or equivalent; sponsor required |
| E32A | Former Indonesian citizen | 5 years (up to 10 total, subject to extension rules) | US$25,000 qualifying investment or state-owned bank deposit commitment |
| E32B | Eligible ex-WNI descendants | 5 / 10 years | US$30,000 / US$60,000 commitment respectively |
How the financial requirement works
- E32D: official immigration information lists a commitment of at least US$10,000, to be fulfilled within 90 days. This can involve Indonesian government securities, shares/mutual funds in eligible listed companies, or a deposit with a state-owned Indonesian bank; the immigration guarantee must be maintained as required.
- E32C: no comparable fixed securities/deposit purchase is stated for this two-year category; submit the sponsor/guarantor documents and the most recent three months of bank statements evidencing at least US$2,000 in funds, or its equivalent.
- E32A: the current Golden Visa category is described in newer immigration visa materials with an US$25,000 commitment for the five-year option. Earlier official publications stated US$35,000; therefore the eVisa category displayed at the time of filing should be reconfirmed before payment.
- E32B: the detailed immigration category specifies US$30,000 for five years or US$60,000 for ten years. For some filings, a substantially larger company-establishment commitment may be an alternative, not a substitute available to every applicant.
These amounts are financial commitments/immigration guarantees, not Flado service fees or visa processing fees. A statement of commitment is generally filed first, with evidence of qualifying funds/investment submitted within the applicable 90-day deadline. Permitted instruments, value maintenance and deadlines depend on the individual visa decision. For 10-year E32A availability and exact current thresholds, rely on the live Indonesian eVisa application, not older price lists.
Required documents for E32 Repatriation KITAS
- Proof of ex-WNI status: former Indonesian passport, KTP, Kartu Keluarga (KK), Indonesian birth certificate (Akta Lahir), diploma, land title or another official record proving earlier Indonesian citizenship. A birth certificate by itself does not automatically prove nationality.
- E32B descendants: the former Indonesian citizen’s records plus the applicant’s and intermediate parent(s)’ birth and/or marriage certificates showing the complete family link (first or second degree).
- Current passport: clear copy, normally valid for at least six months at filing; longer validity is advisable for long-term permits. See example.
- Recent colour photograph/selfie: must meet Indonesian eVisa requirements. See example.
- Financial paperwork: bank statements and, if applicable, signed investment/deposit commitment and proof of sufficient living funds.
- Sponsor-related documents: for E32C, guarantor details, identity and undertaking. Other E32 categories generally allow an application without mandatory sponsor, subject to eVisa eligibility.
- Other supporting documents: CV, itinerary, address, translated/legalised civil records or additional evidence when requested by Immigration.
Benefits and important limitations
- Residence in Indonesia for the approved period; visits to family and reconnection with Indonesian heritage.
- Travel in and out of Indonesia while the stay permit and multiple re-entry permit remain valid.
- Eligible stay permits may be extended or, when statutory conditions are fulfilled, converted to a KITAP (permanent stay permit).
- Not a general work permit: employment and remuneration in Indonesia require the applicable employment authorization or approved combined activity mechanism; merely holding an E32 KITAS is not enough.
- Family members may qualify for dependent visas under relevant categories, subject to the current immigration rules.
Repatriation KITAS in about one week — Priority on request
Flado Priority processing is available for eligible one- and two-year E32 cases on request, with a target of 5 working days after the complete, accepted application and payment. Standard offshore handling is usually about 5–10 working days. Timing is an operational target, not a guarantee of Immigration approval; public holidays, verification requests and eVisa outages may delay issuance.

How to apply: offshore vs onshore
Offshore — apply from outside Indonesia
- Send Flado your passport, evidence of former Indonesian citizenship or family descent, and the financial/sponsor documents for the chosen E32 index.
- Flado checks the case and submits the correct application through the official eVisa process; once approved, the applicant receives an electronic e-Visa/PDF.
- Travel to Indonesia within the visa usage period (normally 90 days after issuance, if shown on the visa). On admission, the electronic ITAS and re-entry permission are generated in the immigration system; retain the electronic documents. An ITAS sticker should not be assumed.
- For standard offshore issuance, a separate visit to Immigration for fingerprints is not normally part of the initial activation; an officer may request additional verification.
Onshore — convert an eligible status inside Indonesia
- Confirm whether the current stay permit can legally convert to ITAS. A C1/type-C visit stay may be eligible; a VOA/e-VOA route can require a qualifying Bridging Stay Permit first. A standard VOA cannot simply be converted directly to ITAS.
- Provide complete documents and ensure sufficient remaining validity for processing. Flado prepares the application and coordinates with the competent immigration office in Bali or Jakarta.
- Attend any required in-person photo/fingerprint/biometric appointment if instructed.
- Receive the electronic ITAS and confirmation of valid residence status after approval. Onshore conversion generally takes about four weeks, depending on complexity.

Timing, renewals and closure
- Offshore standard: about 5–10 working days; Priority: around 5 working days on request and subject to eligibility and operational capacity.
- Onshore conversion: around four weeks (case dependent).
- Extension: contact Flado around two months before your e-ITAS expires; any extension depends on the specific index and immigration rules. KITAS extension information.
- Permanent residence: eligible holders can review the applicable KITAP conversion route. The new GCI programme is distinct.
- Closure: if terminating your residence and leaving Indonesia permanently, plan EPO (Exit Permit Only) in advance, normally starting at least two weeks before departure. EPO is not required solely because a holder makes a temporary trip with a valid MERP.
New in 2026: GCI / direct KITAP is a separate option
The Global Citizen of Indonesia (GCI) programme includes E32E (former WNI, permanent stay), E32F (former WNI with special expertise), E32G (eligible descendants, permanent stay) and E32H (eligible descendants with special expertise). Qualifying applicants may receive an indefinite ITAP after arrival instead of beginning with an E32A–D KITAS; GCI has different income, guarantee and documentary requirements. It is not automatically included in ordinary Repatriation KITAS prices. See the GCI programme overview.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to create a PT PMA?
No. A PT PMA is not a general condition for E32A–D Repatriation KITAS. Any company-investment alternative is a separate commitment route, not a universal requirement.
Can I work with an E32 KITAS?
Not automatically. First verify whether your proposed activity requires RPTKA/work authorization or an approved combined activity mechanism.
Does E32B apply to all grandchildren of Indonesians?
No. Eligibility depends on the precise degree of descent and evidence that the ancestor meets the ex-WNI requirement; Immigration must assess the documents.
Can an E32 visa be used for 90 days?
Generally the entry visa needs to be used within its stated validity (often 90 days from issuance). That is not the period of residence; the ITAS term starts according to the immigration record.
