5 investor visa categories in Indonesia
1. The first category, the E28B, targets individual foreigners who intend to establish a company in Indonesia. Applicants must meet the required issued capital or investment value as defined by immigration laws and regulations.
2. The E28C is designed for foreigners who wish to invest through capital markets. This covers the purchase of government bonds, shares in publicly listed companies, or mutual funds, all above a specified minimum value.
3. The third option, the E28D, applies to foreigners who will serve as board of directors or board of commissioners members in a branch or subsidiary of a foreign company being established in Indonesia.
4. A closely related category, the E28F, mirrors the E28D but applies specifically to companies being set up in Nusantara, Indonesia's capital city of the archipelago. Like the others, it is open to foreigners eligible to invest in Indonesia who will take up directorial or commissioner roles in a branch or subsidiary of an overseas parent company.
5. The fifth and final category, the E28G, covers foreigners who will act as a parent company's representative placed within a branch company operating in Indonesia.
Who can apply for Indonesia investor visas?
All five investor visa types are open to foreigners from any country that is eligible to invest in Indonesia, meaning access is not restricted to nationals of particular states. Each visa permits a stay of up to five or ten years, depending on the applicant's circumstances and the category applied for.
The publication of these categories provides a clearer picture of the pathways available to foreign investors looking to enter or expand into the Indonesian market, particularly those seeking long-term residency tied directly to business activity.
