If you are forming a PT PMA to invest around KEK Sanur, the investor KITAS is the residency permit built for your situation. In plain terms, the core investor KITAS Bali requirements are: a properly licensed PT PMA that acts as your sponsor, your name recorded in the company deed as a shareholder at or above the threshold immigration currently applies, a passport with comfortable remaining validity, and a clean supporting file — company legal documents, proof of funds, photographs, and a local address. Meet those conditions and you can hold a two-year, multiple-entry stay permit tied to your investment rather than to an employer.
The detail that catches most investors is the shareholding threshold. Indonesia has revised it more than once in recent years: the two-year E28A investor KITAS is currently associated with a personal shareholding commonly reported at IDR 10 billion recorded in the deed, while the PT PMA itself must carry an investment plan of at least IDR 10 billion per business classification. Because these figures have moved before and can move again, we verify the live requirement with licensed immigration counsel before you finalize your share structure, not after, when restructuring a deed costs notary time and weeks of delay.
This page explains what our concierge covers, what it realistically costs in 2026, and how it fits alongside the company-setup and property work you may already be doing around the Sanur Special Economic Zone. We are a curation and concierge desk within the Juara Holding Group ecosystem, operating in Bali since 2015. We do not issue permits ourselves; we prepare, submit, and manage your case through licensed immigration channels, and we stay accountable to you for the timeline and the outcome.
Who the Investor KITAS Is For, and Who It Is Not
Three profiles fit the permit well. First, the passive shareholder: you hold qualifying shares in a PT PMA connected to the KEK Sanur economy, for example a clinic-adjacent service business, a wellness property venture, or a medical-tourism support company, and you want the right to live in Indonesia while overseeing that investment. Second, the shareholder-director: you sit on the board of your own company, in which case a correctly issued investor KITAS lets you perform director duties without the separate annual work-permit fund contribution that employee permits require. Third, the commissioner: a supervisory role with shares, common in family-backed structures.
The permit is not designed for people who will be employed by a company they do not own. If you plan to take a salaried role in someone else’s business inside or around the zone, that is a work KITAS with employer sponsorship, a different track with different documents. It is also not a shortcut for people with no genuine shareholding: immigration checks the deed, and a nominal or backdated share position invites refusal.
What the Permit Actually Gives You
- A stay permit of up to two years, renewable, with a multiple-entry and re-entry permit so you can travel freely.
- Legal residence status that supports a local bank account, an Indonesian driving licence, and a civil registration document (SKTT) for your address.
- The ability to sponsor a dependent KITAS for a spouse and children, so the family’s status follows yours.
- For shareholder-directors, the right to carry out board duties for your own PT PMA without a separate employee work permit.
What Our Concierge Service Includes
We handle the file start to finish, in this order. It begins with a document audit: we review your passport, the PT PMA deed, NIB and licensing status, and shareholder composition against the current requirements, and we tell you in writing whether your case is ready or what needs fixing first. Next comes the sponsorship and application stage: preparing the company’s sponsorship documents, lodging the e-visa application, and tracking it through approval. When you travel in, we coordinate the arrival formalities and biometrics appointment, then follow the case through to ITAS issuance and civil registration. After issuance, we set a renewal calendar so an expiry date never surprises you mid-project, and we can run dependent applications for family members in parallel rather than one after another.
Where the immigration file interacts with your corporate structure, such as share increases to meet a threshold, a change of director composition, or a new business classification, we coordinate with the notary and corporate counsel handling your PT PMA so the two files stay consistent. Inconsistency between the deed and the immigration application is the single most common cause of delay we see, and it is entirely avoidable with sequencing.
Entry Visas for Scouting Trips
Most investors visit Bali two or three times before any company exists. For a first look at the zone, the standard Bali visa on arrival covers 30 days and can be extended once, enough for site visits, meetings, and a first pass at due diligence. For a longer or repeat scouting phase, a single-entry business visit visa gives you around 60 days with extensions, and a multiple-entry business visa suits investors who expect to fly in and out over a year or more of negotiation. Our sister desk maintains a full menu of Bali visa services and will match the visa to the trip, so you are never on a heavier, or riskier, document than the visit requires. The one rule we hold firmly: never conduct anything that looks like employment on a tourist entry.
How the Desk Arranges It Through the Juara Holding Group Ecosystem
KEK Sanur Investment is the research and investment desk; the immigration casework runs through the group’s established legal and immigration concierge, which has processed entry and stay permits for foreign clients in Bali for years. You get one point of contact, one document checklist, and one accountable desk, while the filings themselves go through licensed channels as the regulations require. Because the same group coordinates company setup and property work around the zone, your residency timeline can be sequenced against the rest of the plan: deed first, then KITAS, then the transaction steps described in our buying process guide, so you are physically resident and bankable before money needs to move.
Realistic Price Guidance
The figures below are market ranges we observe across reputable Bali providers in 2026, including government fees where noted. Your written quote from us is fixed before you engage; treat everything here as orientation, not an offer.
| Item | Typical market range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival (30 days) | IDR 500,000 government fee | One extension possible; assistance typically IDR 300,000-700,000 |
| Single-entry business visit visa | IDR 3-6 million | Around 60 days, extendable; arranged before travel |
| Multiple-entry business visa (1-2 years) | IDR 5-12 million | For repeat scouting trips during negotiation |
| Investor KITAS, two years (E28A) | IDR 15-30 million | All-in through licensed agents, including government fees |
| Dependent KITAS, per family member | IDR 7-15 million | Spouse and children, sponsored by the investor |
Variation inside those ranges usually comes down to processing speed, whether corporate documents need remedial work first, and how many family members apply together. If a quote you receive elsewhere is dramatically below these ranges, ask precisely which government fees it excludes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the current investor KITAS requirements in Bali?
A sponsoring PT PMA with valid licensing, your name in the deed as a shareholder at the threshold immigration currently applies, commonly reported at IDR 10 billion in personal shares for the two-year permit, a passport with sufficient validity, and standard supporting documents. Thresholds have changed before; we confirm the live figure for your case before you commit to a share structure.
Can I work for my own company on an investor KITAS?
If you are a shareholder who also holds a board position, director or commissioner, you can perform those duties under a correctly issued investor KITAS. Taking an operational salaried role beyond board duties, or working for a company you do not hold shares in, requires a work KITAS instead. Where your intended role is ambiguous, we set it out to counsel before filing rather than risk a misclassified permit.
How long does the process take?
With a complete and consistent file, the e-visa and KITAS process typically runs a few weeks from lodgement to issuance. The honest variable is the state of your corporate documents: if the deed needs amendment to meet the shareholding threshold, add the notary timeline in front. We give you a case-specific estimate in writing at the quote stage.
Can my spouse and children get residency too?
Yes. An investor KITAS holder can sponsor dependent permits for a legal spouse and children, and we normally run those applications in parallel with yours so the family lands with status settled together. Dependents cannot work on a dependent permit.
Do I need to be in Indonesia to apply?
No. The application is lodged electronically and can start while you are abroad; you then travel in and complete biometrics and issuance in Indonesia. Many clients begin the file during a scouting trip and finish it on the following entry.
Should I get the KITAS before or after buying property near the zone?
In most sequences, company and residency come first: being resident with a local bank account makes the transaction steps in our buying process guide materially smoother. There are exceptions; we will tell you if your case is one of them rather than force a template on it.
Plan the Residency Alongside the Investment
The investor KITAS is not a formality to bolt on at the end; structured early, it shapes your share position, your banking, and your tax residency in ways that are cheap to get right and tedious to unwind. Tell us where you are in the KEK Sanur journey, first scouting trip or signed deed, and we will map the immigration layer around it, with a fixed quote and a named case handler.
