Index E31B — Dependent Spouse Visa - KITAS (Index E31B)

The Dependent Spouse Visa (Index E31B) is a critical component of Indonesia's immigration framework, designed to ensure that foreign professionals, investors, and other long-term residents can maintain family unity while living in the country. Established to support the dependents of primary KITAS or KITAP holders, this visa fills the gap for families accompanying a principal sponsor who is already legally residing in Indonesia for work, investment, or other authorized purposes. It ensures that the spouse of the primary permit holder has a clear, legal status that aligns with the sponsor's residency duration.

This visa is intended for the foreign spouse of a primary KITAS or KITAP holder. It is ideal for couples where one partner is the primary visa holder and the other wishes to reside with them in Indonesia. A distinctive feature of this visa is its dependency on the sponsor's status; the validity of the spouse's permit is tied directly to the principal's stay permit. While it provides the right to reside in Indonesia, it does not grant independent work authorization, emphasizing its role as a family reunification instrument.
