Investor KITAS - Residence permit in Bali

Investor KITAS in Bali (E28)

For foreign nationals who have made significant investments in Bali

Two Main Types of Residence Permits for Investors in Bali

Indonesian authorities have reclassified the E28 limited stay permit category for investors who plan to carry out business and investment activities in Bali.

Two main types of residence permits for investors under that category are E28A and E28C.

💼 E28A: Shareholder of a company in Indonesia:

  • Valid for up to 2 years
  • Own shares in an Indonesian company for at least IDR 10 billion
  • Perform activities related to your business
  • Be a director or a commissioner of the company your residence permit is for
  • Bring family members

🏦 E28C: Investor in bonds or public companies

  • Purchase public equities for at least US$350,000 (5-year validity) or $700,000 (10 years)
  • Be a board member in companies not related to your residence permit
  • Bring family members
  • You are not allowed to be employed in Indonesia.

For investors who own shares worth less than IDR 10 billion, it is recommended to get a residence permit for working as a director or commissioner instead.

Another KITAS option is E28B, valid for 5 or 10 years. However, it requires one to own shares for at least US$2.5-5 million and is rarely used by foreign investors.
