Investor KITAS (E28A)
Last updated: 2 October 2026
A limited-stay permit for foreign shareholders of an Indonesian PT PMA — letting you live in Indonesia and direct your own company, usually without a separate work permit.
Overview
About the Investor KITAS
The Investor KITAS (index E28) is designed for foreigners who hold shares in a locally established foreign-investment company, the PT PMA. It ties your right to stay in Indonesia to your investment in that company.
Because the permit is based on shareholding rather than employment, qualifying investors can typically direct their own company and reside in Indonesia without the monthly foreign-worker levy that applies to a Working KITAS.
The permit covers managerial and strategic work for your own company. It does not cover technical or operational employee roles, and it does not allow you to draw a salary as an employee of another company
Who it's for
Founders and shareholders of a PT PMA
