Family KITAS Bali (E31) 2026 — Bring Your Family to Bali

The E31 Family KITAS allows the spouse, children (under 18) and parents of a KITAS or KITAP holder to live in Bali as dependants, following the sponsor’s permit duration. It requires apostilled marriage or birth certificates with sworn Indonesian translations. Family members may study but cannot work; the primary KITAS holder acts as guarantor.

What Is the E31 Family KITAS?

The E31 Family KITAS is the residence permit that keeps families together in Bali. When one person holds a KITAS or KITAP — through work, investment, remote work, retirement or study — their dependants can live in Indonesia legally on an E31, tied to that main holder’s permit.

The E31 is a dependant permit, not a standalone visa. It exists because a primary KITAS/KITAP holder exists, and it follows the sponsor’s permit duration — when the main holder renews, the family renews; the family’s status mirrors the principal’s. The main holder acts as the sponsor and guarantor, taking legal responsibility for their dependants’ stay.

Three relationships qualify under the E31 family of codes: a spouse, children under 18, and in defined circumstances parents. (Where the main holder is a foreigner, dependants typically fall under E31-series codes; where a foreigner is married to an Indonesian citizen, the route is the dedicated Spouse KITAS (E31A) instead — see below.) Family members on an E31 may study in Bali, but they cannot work — taking employment requires the dependant to qualify for a work-based KITAS in their own right.

The document that makes or breaks an E31 is proof of the family relationship: an apostilled marriage certificate (for a spouse) or apostilled birth certificate (for a child), each with a sworn Indonesian translation. Getting these legalised correctly, in the right order, is where families most often get stuck — and exactly where a licensed agency earns its keep. Juara Holding Group handles the apostille and translation chain, files the dependant applications alongside or after the principal’s, and keeps the whole family on one synchronised renewal schedule.

The simple version: if you hold a Bali KITAS, your spouse and children can join you on an E31 Family KITAS — and we’ll get the certificates legalised the right way the first time.

Who Can Get a Family KITAS?

The E31 covers the dependants of a KITAS/KITAP holder:

• Your spouse — your legally married husband or wife (with an apostilled, translated marriage certificate).
• Your children under 18 — biological or legally adopted (with apostilled, translated birth certificates).
• Your parents — in defined circumstances, as dependants of the main holder.

The main holder (sponsor) can be on any of the qualifying KITAS types — for example a Digital Nomad E33G holder bringing their partner and children, a Working KITAS employee relocating with family, an Investor KITAS owner, or a retiree. The family’s E31 simply attaches to that permit.

Two important distinctions:

• Married to an Indonesian citizen (WNI)? Then you don’t use the standard E31 — your route is the Spouse KITAS (E31A), sponsored by your Indonesian spouse, which carries different rights (including limited work and a faster path to KITAP).
• Want to work, not just reside? The E31 does not permit employment. If your partner also intends to work, they should pursue their own work-based KITAS — for instance, a second E33G if they too work remotely for an overseas employer.

E31 Family KITAS Requirements 2026

The apostille + sworn translation step is the one to start early. An apostille is an international legalisation of your home-country certificate; the sworn translation renders it into Indonesian for immigration. Both must be done correctly and in sequence — we manage this for you and confirm the exact requirements for your nationality.

Family KITAS Cost 2026 — Transparent Pricing

The E31 is priced per dependant (each family member is a separate application). Our all-in service starts from USD 1,090 per dependant, with government immigration fees included. The one separate item is certificate legalisation (apostille + sworn translation), an official third-party cost per certificate. Because families come in different sizes and document needs, we confirm a single transparent figure for your whole household in writing.

All-in, government fees included. Premium, fully-managed service — not the cheapest, the most thorough. Priced per dependant; certificate legalisation (apostille + sworn translation) is an official third-party cost shown separately. We confirm your family’s all-in figure in writing — no hidden charges. See the full pricing page.

How to Apply for the E31 Family KITAS — Step by Step

1. Consultation & eligibility check. Confirm the main holder’s KITAS/KITAP qualifies as sponsor and identify which dependants are eligible. We send a written quote for the family.
2. Legalise certificates. We arrange the apostille and sworn Indonesian translation of your marriage and/or birth certificates — the step most families underestimate.
3. Document preparation. Each dependant’s passport, photos, insurance and the sponsor’s papers are assembled and reviewed before submission.
4. Application submission. We file the E31 applications through the official immigration portal, aligned to the principal’s permit.
5. Travel & biometrics. Each dependant completes the AIDC, travels to Bali, and attends the biometric appointment.
6. KITAS issued. Each family member receives their KITAS card and e-ITAS; we keep the whole family on one synchronised renewal schedule.

Already in Bali? Dependants can often be processed onshore — and if the principal is converting a visit visa to a KITAS, we coordinate the family applications around it.

Common Family Scenarios We Handle

Families come to Bali in every shape, and the E31 flexes to fit most of them. These are the situations we see most often — and how each one works in practice.

The relocating nomad family. A remote worker qualifies for a Digital Nomad E33G and wants their partner and young children to come too. The principal holds the E33G; the spouse and children take E31 dependant permits tied to it. Because the E33G runs one year, the family’s permits run one year alongside it. If the partner also works remotely for an overseas employer and meets the threshold, we’ll weigh a second E33G against the E31 — sometimes two principal permits suit a couple better than one principal plus a dependant.

The expat employee with a family. A foreigner takes a role on a Working KITAS (E23) and brings their household. The employee is the sponsor; spouse and children follow on E31s. We synchronise the family’s applications with the employee’s KITAS so everyone’s status and renewals move together — important when a job relocation is on a deadline.

The investor’s household. An Investor KITAS (E28A) holder running a Bali business brings their family on E31 dependant permits. As the investor moves toward KITAP permanent residency over time, we plan the family’s longer-term status in parallel.

Children’s schooling. Family-KITAS children may study in Bali — at international or local schools — which is one of the main reasons families choose the E31 over short visa runs. The permit gives children a stable, legal residence basis for the school year, renewable as the family stays.

In every case, the mechanics rest on the same foundation: a qualifying principal, properly legalised relationship documents, and synchronised renewals. Tell us your family’s exact situation and we’ll map it precisely.

Frequently Asked Questions — Family KITAS (E31)

Who can I bring to Bali on a Family KITAS?
Your spouse, your children under 18, and — in defined circumstances — your parents, as dependants of your KITAS or KITAP. They live in Bali following your permit’s duration. They may study but cannot work. You act as their sponsor and guarantor. If you’re married to an Indonesian citizen, use the Spouse KITAS (E31A) instead.

Can my family work on a Family KITAS?
No. The E31 is a dependant residence permit and does not permit employment. Family members may study in Bali. If your partner wants to work, they need their own work-based KITAS — for example a Working KITAS (E23) with an employer, or a second E33G if they work remotely for an overseas company.

What documents prove the family relationship?
An apostilled marriage certificate (for a spouse) or apostilled birth certificate (for a child), each with a sworn Indonesian translation. The apostille legalises your home-country document internationally; the sworn translation renders it into Indonesian for immigration. We arrange both, in the correct order, for your nationality.

How long is the Family KITAS valid?
The E31 follows the sponsor’s permit — your dependants’ KITAS matches the main holder’s validity and renews with it. So if the principal holds a one-year KITAS, the family’s is one year too; when the principal renews, the family renews. We keep everyone on one synchronised schedule.

Can I include my children born in Bali?
Children’s status is handled through the E31 dependant route with their birth certificate naming the parent(s); specifics depend on the parents’ status and the child’s documentation. We confirm the exact path for your family’s situation at the consultation.
