E28A Investor Stay Visa

E28A is the limited-stay route for qualifying foreign investors connected to an established Indonesian investment or company. It is different from C12 and D12, which are for pre-investment exploration. The official E28A page is the source of truth for investment thresholds, company documentation, sponsor arrangements, validity and permitted activity. Holding shares, planning a PT PMA or visiting a prospective company does not automatically create E28A eligibility. Corporate approvals and immigration approval are separate. Confirm the exact investor role and current conditions before relying on this route.

Official eVisa/immigration process with qualifying company support

What you’ll need

  • Passport valid for the period in the current E28A checklist
  • Current investment and company documentation
  • Company sponsorship or guarantor evidence where required
  • Financial, corporate and identity evidence requested by the official route

Important route notes

  • Pre-investment exploration uses C12 or D12, not E28A.
  • A PT PMA or shareholding alone does not automatically confer immigration status.
  • Confirm the permitted investor activity; do not treat E28A as blanket work permission.

How to apply

  1. Confirm the current official route: Open the official E28A page and confirm that your activity, passport and intended stay match the current description before making travel commitments.
  2. Prepare the current checklist: Collect the passport, photograph and supporting evidence requested in the current eVisa flow. Have the qualifying company confirm its current corporate, investment and sponsor documents before starting the immigration application.
  3. Apply through the official channel: Use evisa.imigrasi.go.id or the application channel shown on the official route page. A sponsor may need to initiate or support the application where the route requires one.
  4. Follow the decision and border instructions: Pay only the government fee shown in the official flow, respond to any request for evidence, and travel only after you receive the required approval.
  5. Keep the route conditions during your stay: Follow the approved activity, entry pattern, stay limit and reporting obligations. Ask Immigration before extending, changing status or starting a different activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is E28A for?

E28A is intended for qualifying foreign investors under the current official conditions. Immigration reviews the investment, company and sponsor evidence for the exact application.

Is E28A the same as a business visitor visa?

No. C2 and D2 are business-visitor routes, while E28A is a limited-stay investor route. The activity, evidence and legal basis differ.

Can a new company automatically sponsor E28A?

No. Company formation alone does not grant immigration status. Confirm the current investment, company and immigration requirements through the official E28A process.

Does E28A permit any kind of work?

Do not assume so. Permitted activity depends on the approved investor role and current rules. Confirm any work or operational role with the relevant authorities.
