Investor KITAP (Investor Permanent Stay Permit) - Who is it for and What are the benefits

The Investor KITAP (Kartu Izin Tinggal Tetap), or Permanent Residence Permit, is a highly sought-after visa for foreign investors in Indonesia. It offers significant benefits, including a five-year validity period with the possibility of lifetime extensions. The Investor KITAP is for 5 – 10 years. Once you have the same sponsor (with no breaks) you can then opt to convert to a KITAP.

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for an Investor KITAP, foreign nationals must meet the following requirements:

  • Have held shares in an Indonesian company (PT PMA) for a minimum of four years.

  • Have possessed an Investor KITAS (Temporary Residence Permit) for at least four years prior to applying for the KITAP.

  • Apply for the KITAP from within Indonesia.


Multiple Re-entry Permit (MERP)

After two years of holding an Investor KITAP, those who plan to travel abroad and return to Indonesia will need to obtain a Multiple Re-entry Permit (MERP). The MERP is valid for two years and allows for multiple entries into Indonesia.

Benefits of the Investor KITAP

The Investor KITAP provides numerous advantages for foreign investors, including:

  • Long-term residency in Indonesia.

  • The ability to work and conduct business in Indonesia.

  • Ease of travel with the MERP.

  • A pathway to potential Indonesian citizenship.

  1. Submit the Investor KITAP application at the local immigration office
  2. Attend the Biometric and finger print session
  3. Process approval from Immigration Office, Directorate General of Immigration, and Regional Office of Ministry of Law and Human Rights
  4. KITAP completion with the E-KITAP along with Multiple entry re-entry permit

Common Questions
