🛂 How Important Are Work and Investor KITAS?

Your Legal Gateway to Work and Invest in Indonesia — Foreigners Only!

Indonesia is a land of endless opportunity — from its growing digital economy to booming tourism and property markets. But for foreign nationals, working or investing here isn’t just about opportunity — it’s about legality.

If you’re planning to earn income or build a business in Indonesia, you need to know this:

✅ You must hold the right type of KITAS (Limited Stay Permit Card).

In this article, we’ll break down why Work KITAS and Investor KITAS are crucial, who needs them, and how 8988 Indonesia Visa Services can help you get them effortlessly.


👷‍♂️ What Is a Worker KITAS (KITAS Kerja)?

If you’re employed by an Indonesian company, NGO, or foreign representative office, this is the legal document that gives you the right to work in Indonesia.

Without it, any kind of employment is illegal — even freelance, remote, or volunteering roles may violate immigration law.

🔹 Issued for: foreign employees, experts, technical staff, consultants
🔹 Length: Usually 6–12 months, extendable
🔹 Requirement: Employer sponsorship & approval from the Ministry of Manpower

You need a Worker KITAS to:
✅ Sign contracts legally
✅ Get paid under Indonesian law
✅ Open business bank accounts
✅ Avoid raids, blacklists, or deportation

➡️ Don’t risk it. 8988 can handle your entire application, from RPTKA to E-visa, KITAS card, and biometrics.


💼 What Is an Investor KITAS?

This KITAS is designed for foreign nationals who own shares in an Indonesian company (PT PMA).
If you’re investing capital and acting as a director or commissioner, you can legally live and manage your business in Indonesia.

🔹 Issued for: foreign investors with minimum share capital
🔹 Length: 1–2 years, extendable
🔹 Bonus: No need for work permit (IMTA) if you meet ownership threshold

You need an Investor KITAS to:
✅ Legally run your business in Indonesia
✅ Stay long-term without needing a work visa
✅ Avoid overstays or visa issues as a shareholder

➡️ Want to set up a PT PMA and get your Investor KITAS in one go? Our business setup package covers everything — legal paperwork, tax number, and your KITAS approval.


⚠️ What Happens If You Work or Invest Without a KITAS?

Unfortunately, we’ve seen many cases where foreigners make the mistake of using tourist visas or visit visas to work, consult, or operate businesses.

That’s illegal, and immigration laws are getting stricter.
You could face:
❌ Fines
❌ Detention
❌ Deportation
❌ Being blacklisted from Indonesia
