Index E31H — Parent Dependent Visa - KITAS (Index E31H)

The Parent Dependent Visa (Index E31H) is a temporary stay permit designed to support family cohesion for foreign expatriates living in Indonesia. It fills the gap for foreign nationals who hold a valid Limited Stay Permit (KITAS) or Permanent Stay Permit (KITAP)—such as investors, employees, or retirees—who wish to have their parents live with them. Established to streamline the residency process for the families of foreign professionals and residents, it ensures that these individuals can maintain a supportive domestic environment while complying with Indonesia's broader immigration framework.

This visa is for the parents of foreign nationals who are already legal residents in Indonesia. It is ideal for elderly parents or those who provide essential family support to their children working or residing in the country. The visa is distinctive because its validity is often tied to the duration of the primary KITAS holder's permit, allowing for stays of 1 to 10 years. It requires the applicant to demonstrate financial self-sufficiency, typically through a minimum savings threshold, and mandates health insurance, ensuring that the dependent parent does not become a financial burden on the state.
