E28A Investor KITAS

The limited stay permit that lets you live in Indonesia and direct your own PT PMA company.

Overview

Residency tied to your investment

The E28A is the shareholder and director residence permit issued to foreign nationals who hold an equity stake in an Indonesian foreign-owned company (PT PMA). Unlike most work-authorisation pathways, the E28A bundles residency and work rights into a single permit — no separate IMTA work permit is required for shareholders acting in a director capacity.

Valid for one or two years and fully renewable, it provides multiple entry and exit, a clear path toward the long-term KITAP permit, and the legal standing to manage your Indonesian business from within the country. Bali Visa Now coordinates the full process from IDR 17.5 jt, including company setup referral where needed.

Questions & Answers

Common questions

Do I need a separate IMTA work permit alongside the E28A?

No. For foreign shareholders and directors of a PT PMA, the E28A bundles residency and work authorisation into a single permit. A separate IMTA (work permit) is not required, which simplifies the process and reduces ongoing compliance costs.

What is the minimum investment required for a PT PMA?

Minimum share capital requirements vary by business sector and are set by BKPM (Indonesia's investment board). We review your intended business activity and advise on the appropriate capitalisation level during our initial consultation.
