Index E31E — Dependent Child Visa - KITAS (Index E31E)

The Dependent Child Visa (Index E31E) is a vital provision within the Indonesian immigration system, designed to allow minor children to accompany their parents who are residing in Indonesia on a long-term basis. Established to support family cohesion for expatriates, this visa fills the gap for families holding work, investment, or other long-term stay permits. By providing a dedicated category for children under 18, it ensures that families can remain together, allowing children to access education and live in a stable environment while their parents fulfill their professional or investment commitments in the country.

This visa is specifically for unmarried minor children (under 18 years old) of foreign nationals who hold a valid KITAS or KITAP. It is ideal for expatriate families moving to Indonesia who need to secure legal status for their children. The visa is distinctive because it is strictly tied to the residency of the parent-sponsor; the child's right to stay is contingent upon the parent's continued legal status in Indonesia. It provides a straightforward mechanism for children to reside, study, and grow up in the country alongside their parents.
