Which family KITAS you need

|---|---|---|
| Husband or wife of a KITAS holder | E31B | what to send |
| Child of a KITAS holder | E31E | documents for a child |
| Parent of a KITAS holder | E31H | who can be added |

The rest of this page is about the first three rows, the family of a KITAS holder.
What a family KITAS is
It is a residence permit for the family members of a person who already has a KITAS: a remote worker on E33G, an employee of a local company with a work KITAS, a retiree. The family KITAS is linked to the main one: it is issued for one or two years, but not longer than the main one is valid, and it is extended together with it.
In the immigration visa list (imigrasi.go.id, checked on 5 November 2026) these are the family visas of group E31: E31B for the husband or wife of an ITAS or ITAP holder, E31E for the child of an ITAS or ITAP holder, E31H for the parents of a child who has an ITAS or ITAP. The separate indices E31A, E31C, E31D, E31F and E31G are for families of Indonesian citizens and do not apply to the family of a foreigner with a KITAS.
Who can be added
- The husband or wife of a KITAS holder
- The children of a KITAS holder
- The parents of a KITAS holder
The main KITAS can be any kind, for example a work or a remote work KITAS, and the holder's citizenship does not matter. A typical case: the family moves to Bali together with the person who works remotely or for a local company. The main KITAS is arranged first, the family ones next or at the same time.
What it gives
- Legal life in Bali for the term of the main KITAS, without extensions every two months
- Unlimited trips abroad
- Accounts and cards at Indonesian banks, local insurance
- Applying for visas to Japan, Australia and Schengen from Indonesia
You cannot work on a family KITAS: work in Indonesia needs a work KITAS.
How much it costs
| Service | Price | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| For a year, with a trip abroad | IDR 10 million | 10 working days |
| For two years, with a trip abroad | IDR 19.5 million | 10 working days |
| For a year without leaving Indonesia | IDR 17 million | 10 working days |
| For two years without leaving | IDR 22.5 million | 10 working days |
| Express, in 5 working days | +IDR 1.5 million | on top of the price with a trip abroad |
The price is per person, government fees and charges included. Without leaving costs more because it is a switch from your current visa right here in Bali.
How to pay. Prices are in rupiah. Once your request is confirmed, the manager will send you the payment details: you can pay by card in rupiah or to an account at an Indonesian bank. If you are not in Indonesia, the manager will suggest a convenient way.
How to apply: with a trip abroad or without
- Message us: whose KITAS is the main one and whom we are arranging it for
- Send a photo of the passport, a selfie, the address and the details of the main KITAS. Immigration confirms the relationship with documents, a marriage or birth certificate; the manager will tell you in what form to send them
- We prepare the documents and submit them to immigration, and in 10 working days send you the e-visa
- With a trip abroad: you enter on the visa and show it on your phone or use the autogate. Without leaving: you stay in Bali and the KITAS is arranged locally
A switch without leaving from a visa on arrival is filed no later than 5 working days before it expires. After that only the option with a trip abroad is left.
Documents: what to send for a spouse and a child
- The main KITAS the family member is linked to
- A photo of the passport, a selfie on a light background and the address as a Google Maps link
- For children also the birth certificate and the parent's marriage or divorce certificate
If the child was born in Bali
First you need the Indonesian birth certificate from the clinic, then the certificate from your embassy and the child's passport. The child has to be linked to the parent's visa before that visa expires, so start early. If the parent's visa ends close to the due date, it is better to arrange a new visa for the parent without leaving first.
Term and extension
A family KITAS cannot be valid longer than the main one. If the main one ends in six months, the family one is issued for the same term. It is extended together with the main one: message us when you extend it.
A new passport or a move
The permit is linked to the passport number and the address. Under article 71 of the immigration law a new address and other changes are reported to immigration, and a new passport is entered into the permit while you are in Indonesia. For a family KITAS, in addition to the usual set, the Ngurah Rai office asks for the marriage certificate, for a child the birth certificate, the passport page and the ITAS or ITAP of the spouse or parent (office page, checked on 8 November 2026).
If the holder of the main KITAS got a new passport, start with them, the family follows.
Common mistakes
- Asking for a family KITAS longer than the main one. That will not work
- Waiting for the visa on arrival to run out. A switch without leaving is filed no later than 5 working days before it expires
- Forgetting about the extension. Message us about it together with the main KITAS
- Planning to work on a family KITAS. Work needs a work KITAS
