Can I conduct business activities on a Tourist Visa in Indonesia?

Frequently Asked Questions

No, business activities such as attending meetings or negotiations are not allowed on a Tourist Visa. For such activities, you must apply for a Single-Entry Business Visa or a Multiple-Entry Business Visa, depending on your needs.

If your employment contract ends, your employer must report the termination to the immigration office, and your KITAS will be canceled. You are required to leave Indonesia unless you secure another sponsorship or transition to a different visa type.

The processing time can vary, but typically it takes around 2 to 4 weeks from the submission of the required documents to the issuance of the KITAS.

Overstaying your visa or KITAS can lead to fines of IDR 1 million per day, and if overstaying persists, deportation and potential blacklisting from Indonesia are possible. It’s important to ensure timely renewals and proper visa management.

Yes, as an investor, you are allowed to manage and oversee your investments. However, the Investor KITAS does not permit traditional employment for other companies; it only covers activities related to managing your investments.

Yes, you can bring immediate family members (spouse and children) under a Dependent KITAS. Your dependents will be issued a KITAS based on your work permit, allowing them to stay in Indonesia legally, though they cannot work.

Renewals must be processed before your KITAS expires. We recommend starting the process well in advance to avoid overstaying penalties.

No, you cannot convert a Single-Entry or Multiple-Entry Business Visa to a KITAS. KITAS applications must be initiated separately through your employer or investment sponsor and require different documentation and procedures.

No, a Work Permit KITAS requires sponsorship from a legally registered Indonesian company. Foreign companies based outside Indonesia cannot sponsor a KITAS unless they establish a legal presence in Indonesia, such as a PT PMA.
