Latest 2026 Trending News & Developments

The landscape of Indonesian visas is dynamic. Here are the key updates for 2026 relevant to the E28A Bali Investor KITAS:

The official eVisa FAQ now clearly delineates two stay-duration options: up to 1 year and up to 2 years, with separate official fees of Rp7,000,000 and Rp9,500,000 respectively.
Current official wording strongly emphasises that permitted activities include business, investment, company establishment, and board-level functions. This clarity is particularly valuable for Bali applicants who often seek confirmation that the permit allows them to actively manage their business.
Despite evolving regulations, the practical eligibility standard remains consistent, with the commonly used threshold for share investment still cited as Rp10 billion and the visa tied to a Director/Commissioner role.
No new confirmed 2026 decree or fresh Immigration enforcement press release specifically changing E28A rules has surfaced, beyond the official eVisa fee/stay-duration structure.
The Bali visa market continues to show a clear segmentation by visa purpose, with investor KITAS prices reflecting its premium nature compared to short-stay visas, underscoring the ongoing tightening and clarification of stay-purpose categories.

Real Questions Applicants Are Asking Right Now: E28A Bali Investor Visa FAQ

We receive many specific queries regarding the E28A. Here are answers to some of the most common:

Do I need to own Rp10 billion in shares personally, or can the company structure satisfy the requirement?

The requirement of Rp10,000,000,000 (ten billion Indonesian Rupiah) in share ownership is tied to the guarantor company as listed in the investment ministry system. While you must be a director or commissioner, the investment threshold refers to the company’s capital, not necessarily your personal shareholding if you are part of a larger investment structure. We clarify this during your initial consultation.

Can I use the E28A to open multiple businesses in Bali?

The E28A Investor KITAS is linked to your role as a director or commissioner in a specific sponsoring PT PMA. While that PT PMA can engage in various business activities, operating entirely separate and unrelated businesses under a different legal entity might require separate considerations. We recommend discussing your full business scope with our specialists.

What if my company’s investment is slightly below the Rp10 billion threshold?

The Rp10 billion investment threshold is widely referenced and is a critical eligibility criterion for the E28A. If your company’s investment is below this, you may not qualify for the E28A and would need to explore other visa categories or consider increasing the company’s capital investment. We can advise on alternatives during your consultation.

Is the E28A renewable, and what is the process for renewal?

Yes, the E28A Investor KITAS is typically renewable. The renewal process involves resubmitting updated company and personal documents to demonstrate continued eligibility and adherence to regulations. We manage this renewal process for our clients to ensure continuity of your stay.

Does the E28A allow me to bring my family to Bali?

Yes, as an E28A Investor KITAS holder, you can typically sponsor family members (spouse and dependent children) for a derivative KITAS. This allows your family to reside with you in Bali for the duration of your permit. We can assist with these dependent visa applications concurrently.
