A Dependent Visa and KITAS (Temporary Stay Permit) allow family members of foreign nationals residing in Indonesia to join them legally and comfortably. This visa is ideal for spouses and children of expatriates who hold a valid work or residency permit, enabling families to stay together while living abroad.

Understanding the Dependent Visa & KITAS

The Dependent Visa and KITAS provide a pathway for family members to join their loved ones in Indonesia, ensuring they have the legal rights to reside in the country for extended periods. Although dependent holders cannot work or engage in business activities, they gain access to essential services like healthcare, education, and day-to-day living benefits.

Living in Indonesia on a dependent visa allows family members to fully immerse themselves in the country’s rich culture, adapt to the lifestyle, and participate in family activities, making it an ideal option for long-term stays. With a valid Dependent KITAS, family members can also explore local communities, gain access to local resources, and enjoy a legally secure stay alongside their sponsoring family member.
