Which family visa applies

Immigration splits family visas by relationship. E31B is for the spouse of a foreign ITAS or ITAP holder and E31E for a child of an ITAS or ITAP holder. E31H covers parents of ITAS/ITAP holders and E31J a child joining a sibling who holds a permit. Spouses and children of Indonesian citizens use E31A, E31C, E31D and E31F instead.

The E31E page notes that it cannot be used to join a golden-visa holder as a dependant; golden-visa investors bring their family under their own visa's family provisions.

Relationship documents

For a spouse the sponsor provides the marriage certificate, with proof of registration for a marriage abroad. For a child, the marriage and birth certificates, the parent's valid ITAS/ITAP or limited stay visa, and a guarantee from the Indonesian sponsor or a commitment letter from the foreign parent are required.

Documents not in English need a sworn translation into Indonesian.

Application and arrival

A sponsor with an e-Visa account files the application; processing takes about five working days after payment. The family member enters within 90 days and receives the ITAS and re-entry permit at the border. Children holding the E31E may live and study in Indonesia.

Extensions are filed online and the permit can be converted to another type, for example when a child reaches adulthood and starts work or university.

  1. Check which code fits: E31B (spouse), E31E (child), E31H (parent).
  2. The sponsor creates or uses an existing account on evisa.imigrasi.go.id.
  3. Collect the relationship certificates, translations and the resident's ITAS/ITAP.
  4. Submit the application for one or two years and pay with the billing code.
  5. Download the e-Visa after about five working days and travel within 90 days.
  6. Receive the ITAS at the border and keep it aligned with the main permit holder's expiry by extending online.
