Investor KITAS Bali (E28A) 2026 — Residence for Company Investors

The E28A Investor KITAS grants 1–2 years’ residence to a foreigner who holds at least IDR 10 billion in shares of an Indonesian foreign-investment company (PT PMA) and is listed as a Director or Commissioner. It permits running and directing the business, costs from USD 2,790 all-in (government fees included), and can be bundled with PT PMA company setup.

What Is the E28A Investor KITAS?

The E28A Investor KITAS is the Indonesian residence permit for the foreigner who owns and runs a business in Bali. It is the visa that turns an investment into the right to live here — granting one to two years of residence to a person who holds shares in, and sits on the board of, an Indonesian foreign-investment company (a PT PMA).

Two conditions define the E28A. First, you must hold at least IDR 10 billion in shares of the PT PMA — this is the investment threshold that qualifies the company and you as an investor. Second, you must be listed as a Director or Commissioner of that company. Meet both and the E28A gives you the legal standing to run and direct your business in Indonesia — sign on the company’s behalf, manage operations, and reside in Bali on that basis.

Crucially, the E28A is not an employment visa. You are not an employee drawing a salary under a work permit (that’s the E23 Working KITAS); you are an owner-director whose residence flows from your investment. This distinction matters: the E28A does not require the RPTKA, IMTA and DPKK work-permit machinery that the E23 does, which is one reason many entrepreneurs prefer it — and it processes faster, with priority service around 40 business days and regular around 60.

Because the E28A depends on a properly constituted PT PMA, the two are almost always handled together. As a licensed agency, Juara Holding Group can set up your PT PMA — the company, the IDR 10 billion investment plan, the KBLI business-line selection, and the OSS registrations (NIB, NPWP, deed) — and bundle it with your Investor KITAS, so the company and your residence are built as one coherent package.

The core idea: the E33G is for remote workers, the E23 for employees, and the E28A is for owners — the foreigner who invests in and directs an Indonesian company.

Who Is the Investor KITAS For?

The E28A is the right visa if you are:

• A foreign entrepreneur launching a business in Bali — hospitality, F&B, retail, services, tech — through a PT PMA.
• An investor or shareholder taking a Director or Commissioner seat in an Indonesian foreign-investment company.
• A property or villa investor structuring your holdings through a PT PMA (foreigners cannot hold freehold land directly; a PT PMA is a common, legal vehicle for property-linked business).
• A business owner who wants to employ yourself legally rather than be sponsored by someone else’s company.
• A long-term resident-in-the-making — the E28A is a recognised path toward KITAP permanent residency.

You likely need a different route if you are:

• An employee of an Indonesian company (not an owner) → Working KITAS (E23).
• A passive high-net-worth investor wanting long residence without running a company → the Golden Visa or Second Home Visa may suit better.
• Just exploring whether to invest → a business visa lets you attend meetings and do due diligence first.

E28A Investor KITAS Requirements 2026

Like the Working KITAS, the E28A has a company side and a personal side — both must be in order.

Company (PT PMA) requirements:

Applicant (investor) requirements:

If you don’t yet have a PT PMA, that’s the first step — and the one we most often handle first. Set up your PT PMA first, then your E28A follows naturally on top of it.

Investor KITAS Cost 2026 — Transparent Pricing

Our all-in Investor KITAS service starts from USD 2,790, with government immigration fees included. Two official figures stay separate because they’re set by law, not by us: the IDR 10 billion shareholding that qualifies you as an investor (this is your investment, held in the company — not a fee), and, if you don’t yet have a company, the PT PMA setup costs (notary, OSS, deed). The E28A is highly variable by validity (1 vs 2 years) and service level (priority vs regular), so we confirm your exact “from” figure in writing.

All-in, government fees included. Premium, fully-managed service — not the cheapest, the most thorough. The IDR 10 billion shareholding is your investment under BKPM rules (held in the company, not our charge); PT PMA setup is quoted separately when needed. The exact “from” price depends on validity, service level and whether company formation is included — we confirm it in writing, no hidden charges. See the full pricing page.

How to Apply for the E28A Investor KITAS — Step by Step

1. Consultation & structure check. We confirm the E28A fits your plans (vs Golden Visa or Second Home), check your PT PMA status, and send a written quote.
2. PT PMA setup (if needed). We establish the company — KBLI selection, IDR 10 billion investment plan, deed, and OSS registration (NIB, NPWP). Start here.
3. Board appointment & shareholding. You are listed as Director or Commissioner holding the qualifying IDR 10 billion in shares.
4. Visa issuance. We file the E28A through the official immigration portal — priority around 40 business days, regular around 60.
5. Travel & biometrics. You complete the AIDC, travel to Bali, and attend the biometric appointment.
6. KITAS issued. You receive your KITAS card and e-ITAS, run your business legally, and we diarise the renewal and your eventual KITAP eligibility.

E28A Investor KITAS vs Golden Visa — Which Is Right?

High-value foreigners often weigh the Investor KITAS against the Golden Visa. They serve different goals:

Rule of thumb: if you’re building and running a company in Bali, the E28A is your visa. If you’re a high-net-worth investor who wants 5–10 years of residence without necessarily operating a business day to day, look at the Golden Visa or the Second Home Visa. Many of our clients ultimately combine routes — and we’ll map the most efficient path.

From Investor KITAS to KITAP — Permanent Residency

The E28A is one of the clearest routes to permanent residency. A foreigner who maintains a qualifying investment and Director/Commissioner role on a renewable Investor KITAS can become eligible for KITAP — the Kartu Izin Tinggal Tetap, valid five years and extendable indefinitely — after a qualifying period (commonly around four years for investors). KITAP replaces the annual renewal cycle, simplifies banking and property dealings, and is a recognised stepping stone toward longer-term status in Indonesia. We track your eligibility from day one and advise when KITAP becomes worthwhile.

Frequently Asked Questions — Investor KITAS (E28A)

What is the minimum investment for an Investor KITAS in Bali?
You must hold at least IDR 10 billion in shares of an Indonesian foreign-investment company (PT PMA), which also carries a minimum IDR 10 billion investment plan under BKPM rules. You must additionally be listed as a Director or Commissioner. We can establish the PT PMA and structure the shareholding as part of your application.

Do I need a PT PMA before applying for the E28A?
Yes — the E28A is built on a PT PMA. If you don’t have one, that’s the first step, and we set it up for you: KBLI selection, the IDR 10 billion investment plan, the deed, and OSS registration (NIB, NPWP). We then bundle the Investor KITAS on top, as one package.

How long does the Investor KITAS take to process?
Immigration processing is around 40 business days on priority and 60 on regular service. If PT PMA setup is included, allow additional time for company formation first. We give you a combined, realistic timeline at the quote stage.

How much does the Investor KITAS cost?
Our all-in service starts from USD 2,790, with government immigration fees included. Two official items stay separate: your IDR 10 billion shareholding (your investment, held in the company — not a fee) and PT PMA setup if the company isn’t yet established. It’s a premium, fully-managed price — not the cheapest, the most thorough — and we confirm your exact figure in writing. See the pricing page.

Can the Investor KITAS lead to permanent residency (KITAP)?
Yes. Investors who maintain the qualifying investment and board role on a renewable E28A can become eligible for KITAP after a qualifying period (commonly around four years), replacing annual renewals with a five-year permanent permit. We advise when this applies to you.
