**A Bali company plus KITAS package bundles PT PMA incorporation and your stay permit into one sequenced engagement: entity first, immigration second. As of 2026, expect USD 3,500–7,500 in professional fees depending on how many permits you attach, and a realistic 10–18 weeks from name reservation to a KITAS in your passport.**
The order matters more than the price. A KITAS is sponsored by a company, so nothing on the immigration side can be filed until your PT PMA has its deed, its NIB business number and its tax registration. Any provider promising “company and KITAS in three weeks” is either skipping steps or renting you a shelf entity — usually with KBLI codes you would never have chosen.
What does a Bali company plus KITAS package actually include?
A serious bundle covers the full corporate build — name reservation, the Akta Pendirian signed before a public notary in Indonesian and legalized by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, the NIB issued through the OSS-RBA system, the corporate NPWP, and the domicile letter from local district authorities — plus an immigration file keyed to your role in the company.
As of 2026, professional fees quoted by Bali corporate agencies cluster in the ranges below. Government charges, notary disbursements and the DKP-TKA manpower levy are billed on top, and every figure is subject to change.
| Package | Typical professional fees (as of 2026) | Start to KITAS | Built for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo founder — PT PMA + one two-year investor KITAS | USD 3,500–5,000 | 10–14 weeks | Owner-operators holding qualifying shares |
| Founder + family — adds spouse and child dependent KITAS | USD 4,500–6,500 | 12–16 weeks | Relocating households |
| Founder + team — adds RPTKA and work KITAS per employee | USD 6,000–7,500+, plus USD 1,200 per foreign worker per year (DKP-TKA levy) | 14–18 weeks | Companies moving staff to Bali |
One thing no package fee changes: the company itself must commit to an investment plan of IDR 10,000,000,000 — roughly USD 660,000–700,000 at 2026 exchange rates — with paid-up capital of IDR 2,500,000,000, a floor Emerhub attributes to Article 26(10) of BKPM Regulation No. 5 of 2025. The package buys execution. It does not buy the capital requirement away.
What shareholding qualifies you for an investor KITAS?
The investor KITAS (visa index E28A) is the permit most founders actually want: two-year validity, no separate work permit for directing your own company, and no annual manpower levy. The catch is the shareholding test.
Published thresholds diverge, and this is where cheap bundles quietly fail. Older BKPM-era guidance put the personal shareholding floor around IDR 1 billion, while since Indonesia’s 2023 visa-index overhaul immigration offices have commonly assessed the two-year E28A against a much higher personal stake, with agencies in Bali publishing conflicting figures to this day. The honest read: treat your share split as a design decision made before the deed is signed, and have your consultant confirm in writing which threshold the immigration office is applying that month.
Two constraints from company law shape that split. A PT PMA needs at least two shareholders, one director and one commissioner; and according to Indonesia-Investments, the director must reside in Indonesia, which means a KITAS and a personal NPWP tax number of their own. If your stake will not clear the investor bar, the fallback is a work KITAS as director — slower, and it adds the levy described below.
How does the work-permit chain run for employees?
Employees cannot ride on your investor KITAS. Every foreign hire needs their own chain, in this order:
- RPTKA — the foreign-manpower utilization plan, approved by the Ministry of Manpower, naming each position. Some roles are reserved for Indonesian nationals, so job titles get engineered at this step, not after.
- DKP-TKA levy — USD 100 per month per foreign worker into the skills development fund, paid a year upfront (USD 1,200).
- E-visa/VITAS — issued while the employee is still outside Indonesia.
- KITAS conversion — completed after arrival, with biometrics at the local immigration office.
Budget 4–8 weeks per employee once the entity documents exist. A foreign director who does not hold qualifying shares goes through this same chain.
Can your spouse and children join on a dependent KITAS?
Yes. Family members qualify for dependent permits under the E31 family-reunification index — legal spouse and children, sponsored by the principal permit holder, with validity tied to the sponsor’s KITAS. Marriage and birth certificates need legalization and sworn translation, which trips up more applicants than the forms themselves do. Dependents may live in Indonesia on the permit but may not work on it. Filed together with or straight after the sponsor’s application, each dependent adds roughly 2–3 weeks.
How long does the full sequence really take?
| Stage | Realistic duration (as of 2026) | What gates it |
|---|---|---|
| Entity: deed, legalization, NIB, NPWP, domicile letter | 6–10 weeks | Registered-address proof — lease, land certificate or PBG building approval |
| Investor KITAS (E28A) | 2–4 weeks after entity complete | Shareholding evidence, immigration workload |
| RPTKA + work KITAS, per employee | 4–8 weeks | Ministry of Manpower approval, role eligibility |
| Dependent KITAS, per family member | 2–3 weeks after sponsor’s KITAS | Legalized civil documents |
One Bali-specific trap to plan around: OSS-RBA has been blocking low and medium-low risk KBLI codes for PT PMAs registered at Bali addresses, so classification choice is strategy, not paperwork. A blocked code stalls the NIB — and everything downstream, including your KITAS, waits with it.

- Entity build, weeks 1–10 — deed, ministry legalization, NIB through OSS-RBA, NPWP, domicile letter, then the corporate bank account.
- Immigration filings, weeks 8–18 — investor KITAS or the RPTKA chain, then dependents, sequenced so nothing waits on a missing document.
- Landing file — capital-injection evidence, a tax-calendar handover, and introductions for ongoing accounting support.

Two warnings the cheap bundles skip
The nominee trap. Some sub-USD 2,000 “company plus KITAS” offers only work because an Indonesian nominee holds your shares. Nominee arrangements are risky and effectively unenforceable under Indonesian law — you would hold a stay permit sponsored by a company you do not legally own. No visa is worth that trade.
The tax residency bill. Once you reside in Indonesia as a director, you carry a personal NPWP and Indonesian filing obligations, and Indonesia exchanges account information automatically under CRS with Australia, Singapore, the United States and EU jurisdictions. A KITAS is a tax event as much as an immigration one. Model it before you land, not after.
Everything on this page is general information current to 2026 and subject to change — not legal, tax or immigration advice. Thresholds and processing practice move without notice, and Bali’s immigration offices apply them unevenly. Confirm the numbers with licensed Indonesian counsel and a registered tax consultant before you sign anything.
