Index E28A — General Investment Visa - KITAS (Index E28A)

The General Investment Visa (Index E28A) was established to attract substantial foreign capital into Indonesia, serving as a key instrument in the government's efforts to boost economic development through Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). It fills the gap for investors who need to reside in the country to actively manage their business ventures, providing a legal framework that distinguishes them from standard employees. By requiring significant capital commitment, the visa ensures that holders are genuine, long-term partners in Indonesia's economic growth.

This visa is for foreign investors who have made a substantial financial commitment to an Indonesian company, specifically those registered under the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM). It is ideal for entrepreneurs, business owners, and major shareholders who need to live in Indonesia to oversee their investments, establish new business entities, or manage existing ones. It is distinct because it allows the holder to reside and manage their business without the need for a traditional work permit, provided they meet the high investment and share ownership thresholds required by law.
