What is the E28A General Investment KITAS?
The E28A General Investment KITAS is the updated version of the former C314 Investment KITAS, restructured under Indonesia’s new visa classification system.
It is a 2-year limited stay permit specifically designed for foreign investors engaged in business operations, investment activities, or company ownership in Indonesia—particularly through a PT PMA (Foreign-Owned Company).
Key Features of the E28A KITAS:
✅ 2-Year Validity with no annual renewal required
✅ Based on active investment or shareholder roles (not salaried employment)
✅ Allows for multiple re-entry during its validity period
✅ No need for a separate Work Permit (IMTA) if not actively employed
✅ Grants eligibility to apply for a Family KITAS (E31) for spouse and children
✅ Permits travel, tourism, and social visits (friends or family) within Indonesia
✅ Allows enrollment in study programs when registered under the Multiple Activity Stay Permit scheme
Bring Your Family Along
With an approved E28A KITAS, your spouse and children can join you in Indonesia by applying for the E31 Family KITAS, which aligns with the same validity period.
This KITAS offers flexibility for investors who want to reside, manage their business interests, and enjoy personal freedom while staying in Indonesia.
Can I Work with an E28A General Investment KITAS?
No, holders of the E28A General Investment KITAS are not allowed to perform employment outside the permitted scope of their investment role.
You may act as a shareholder, commissioner, or director in your PT PMA, but you cannot engage in salaried work or freelance activities that are not explicitly permitted under the investment classification.
Can I Apply for the E28A KITAS While in Indonesia?
If you are currently in Indonesia with: Visa on Arrival (VOA) or C1 Tourist Visa
👉 You must complete an offshore application process (commonly referred to as a “visa run”).
You can remain in Indonesia until your current visa expires. Then, you simply fly out and return on the same day using your new E28A KITAS.
