What Are the Benefits of the Dependent Visa (Dependent KITAS)?

Holding a Dependent KITAS provides several advantages for family members, including:

• Open bank accounts: You will have the ability to manage your finances like any other resident in Indonesia.
• Register a mobile phone: You can easily set up your communication and enjoy local services.
• Access to other official resident benefits: Enjoy living as an official resident with ease and convenience.

However, while the Dependent KITAS allows you to live in Indonesia, it does not permit employment. If you wish to work later on, you will need to apply for a work permit (IMTA) and register for a Tax ID (NPWP). Additionally, if you do start working and receive income, you will be required to file annual individual tax reports. Our team can assist you with tax filing to ensure compliance.

Duration of the Dependent KITAS

The validity of your Dependent KITAS is linked directly to the primary KITAS holder’s status. For example, if the primary KITAS is valid for one year, your Dependent KITAS will be valid for the same period.

Common Questions About Dependent Visa (Dependent KITAS)

1. Can I start the visa process before I enter Indonesia?

Yes, you can apply for a Dependent Visa before entering Indonesia. We can assist you in obtaining an E-Visa, which can be sent to you electronically. Upon arrival in Indonesia, you will need to complete a biometric session either at a local immigration office or at the airport to finalize the process.

2. Do I need to visit an Indonesian Embassy to collect my visa?

No. As of October 2020, Electronic Visas (E-Visas) have replaced the traditional method of collecting visas at an embassy. The visa process is now streamlined and completed online, making it quicker and more convenient.

3. What if I don’t wish to extend my KITAS?

If you decide not to extend your KITAS, you will need to apply for an Exit Permit Only (EPO), which will terminate your permit. The EPO process is fast and typically takes only a few days. Once you receive the EPO stamp, you must exit Indonesia within 7 days.

If you have already left Indonesia, you will need to apply for an Exit Re-entry Permit (ERP).

4. What happens if I overstay my visa?

Overstaying your visa can lead to serious consequences, including daily fines, being blacklisted from the country, and even deportation. It’s crucial to keep your visa up to date and avoid overstaying your permitted duration.

In 2019, the penalty for overstaying was increased from 300,000 IDR to 1,000,000 IDR per day. We strongly advise you to adhere to visa regulations to prevent any legal issues.
