Full-service KITAS application. We handle the Telex Visa, KITAS issuance, MERP, and STM — you just need to travel once.
An Investor KITAS (Kartu Izin Tinggal Terbatas — Limited Stay Permit) is Indonesia's official residency permit for foreign investors who are shareholders or directors of a PT PMA (foreign-owned company) in Indonesia.
The E28A is the specific KITAS category for PT PMA investors. With an Investor KITAS, you have the legal right to live, work, and do business in Indonesia without needing a separate IMTA work permit — a significant advantage over other visa categories.
Unlike a tourist visa (which restricts business activities and must be renewed repeatedly), the Investor KITAS is valid for 2 years and can be renewed in-country without leaving Indonesia.
To apply for an Investor KITAS, you must be a shareholder or director of an active PT PMA in Indonesia. Specifically:
Pakistani and Indian nationals are fully eligible for Investor KITAS with no additional restrictions. IndoDesk serves hundreds of Pakistani and Indian entrepreneurs through the KITAS process each year, with full Urdu and Hindi language support.
If you have not yet registered a PT PMA, IndoDesk can set one up in 7–8 days for USD 1,400.
IndoDesk handles all document verification and Indonesian government submissions. You just need to provide the personal documents listed above.
We verify your PT PMA is active with a valid NIB and up-to-date LKPM filing. If your PT PMA is not yet registered, IndoDesk can complete the registration in 7–8 business days — visit PT PMA Registration for details.
