Long stay · income from abroad only
Remote worker permit
The proper route for laptop living, replacing the grey-area use of old visit visas. Your income must come from outside Indonesia.
Worth knowing: Your income must come from outside Indonesia. If any of it comes from an Indonesian client or entity, this is the wrong route.

Often confused with this one
Immigration classifies by activity, and the boundaries between these are where most mistakes happen. If none of them is quite what you’re doing, ask.
Work KITAS
The only route that permits employment and payment by an Indonesian entity. Includes RPTKA and the Kemnaker steps.
Investor KITAS
For shareholders in a PT PMA. No work permit levy, but the company must exist first.
Spouse & dependent KITAS
Sponsored by an Indonesian spouse. Requires the marriage to be registered in Indonesia first.
Second Home visa
Long stay without an employer, subject to the deposit requirement. Suits retirees and the self-funded.
Permanent stay permit
The step after qualifying years on a KITAS. Fewer reporting obligations and a much longer horizon.
