Important Consideration
- A dependent Visa does not authorize the recipient to work or engage in commercial activities in Indonesia.
- A legally valid document, translated by a sworn translator, is required to prove the familial relationship.
- After at least 3 years of consecutive stay, the Dependent KITAS can be upgraded to KITAP (Permanent Residence Permit).
- Business Hub Asia also assists with the RT/RW report process and population administration for local legal purposes.
