What is a dependant visa KITAS?

A dependant visa (commonly known as Dependant KITAS) is a visa which allows accompanying family members of a holder of a primary work permit (IMTA) and stay permit (KITAS), to live and reside in Indonesia as long as the primary IMTA and KITAS holder holds their employment.

Eligibility criteria

Who is eligible for a dependant visa.

A dependent KITAS permits a foreigner who holds an IMTA and work visa KITAS to bring their spouse and children under the age of 17 to Indonesia.

Before a foreigner’s spouse or child can apply for the Dependant KITAS in Indonesia, they must first obtain a single-visit visa to Indonesia to enter the country or as known as Telex Vitas.

After arriving in Indonesia, they can then convert the single-visit visa into a Dependant KITAS.

Furthermore, a foreigner who has been legally married to an Indonesian citizen for at least five years can apply for a Dependant KITAS as well. They can later convert the Dependant KITAS to a KITAP after three years of holding the Dependant KITAs.

Type of work you are allowed to perform with a dependant KITAS

The dependant KITAS does not allow the holder to work, however, if you do want to work and find a full-time job, then you should apply for an IMTA and KITAS, and you can change your family member sponsor to your new employer.

The length of the dependant KITAS will be linked with the terms on the principal KITAS, for example, if the primary KITAS is for one year, the dependant KITAS will be for the same duration.
