What is a KITAS in Bali?

A KITAS is Indonesia's limited stay permit. It gives foreigners legal residency for a set purpose and period, usually one or two years, and it can be extended. The KITAS system is national, so every Indonesia KITAS type is available to people living in Bali. After you arrive, your entry visa (VITAS) is converted into an ITAS/KITAS, including biometrics at the local immigration office. With a KITAS you can open a bank account, rent long term and build toward a permanent stay permit (KITAP).

Investor KITAS in Bali

Bali attracts foreign investors in villas, hospitality, F&B, wellness and creative businesses. To live in Bali on an Investor KITAS (E28A), you need to be a shareholder or director of a PT PMA. The company needs at least IDR 10 billion in capital and an investment plan of the same amount, a business license (NIB), and quarterly LKPM investment reports.

We can handle both steps for you: setting up your PT PMA and then sponsoring your Investor KITAS, so you can live in Bali while running your business. Your spouse and children can join you on a Dependent KITAS.
