E31C — Child of Indonesian Citizen Visa (Index E31C/D/F)

The Child of Indonesian Citizen Visa (Index E31C/D/F) is a dependent temporary stay permit designed for foreign children of Indonesian citizens. This visa category covers biological children, stepchildren, and legally adopted children, ensuring that families can remain together in Indonesia. It is a vital tool for maintaining family unity, allowing children to reside, study, and grow up in Indonesia under the sponsorship of their Indonesian parent. The visa is available to children of any age, provided they can prove their parental link and the citizenship status of their sponsor.

This visa is intended for children who hold foreign citizenship but have at least one Indonesian parent. The Indonesian parent must act as the sponsor for the application. The visa allows the child to live in Indonesia for 1 or 2 years, with the possibility of extension. While it permits the holder to engage in activities like tourism, family visits, and education (subject to reporting), it does not grant an automatic right to work. If the child wishes to work upon reaching adulthood, they must follow the standard procedures for obtaining a work permit through an employer in Indonesia.
