Spouse & Family ITAS (E31A)
E31A is the current limited-stay visa for the foreign spouse of an Indonesian citizen. The Indonesian citizen spouse acts as sponsor, and the official route offers one- or two-year validity options subject to approval. Other family relationships use different E31 subcategories. Do not assume a spouse route automatically covers children, parents or relatives, or that a foreign permit holder uses E31A. E31A is residence permission and does not automatically settle every work-authorisation requirement. Confirm the relationship evidence, sponsor documents, fee, application sequence and any later residence option on the official E31A page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a spouse ITAS (E31A) if I'm married to an Indonesian citizen?
E31A is the official route intended for the foreign spouse of an Indonesian citizen. Your Indonesian citizen spouse acts as sponsor, but Immigration still verifies the relationship documents, application and current conditions before approval.
Can I work in Indonesia on a spouse ITAS?
E31A residence does not automatically settle every work-authorisation requirement. Before taking paid work, confirm the current employment and concurrent-activity rules for your exact situation with the relevant authorities.
Do I need to be in Indonesia to apply?
The correct sequence depends on whether you apply before travel or through an authorised in-country status process. Follow the official E31A instructions and any biometric or attendance request issued for the application.
What documents does my Indonesian spouse need to provide?
The official application requires sponsor identity and relationship evidence. Use the current E31A checklist for the exact documents and certification; do not rely on an old agent checklist.
Can my children also get a family ITAS?
Children and other family relationships use their own E31 subcategories and separate approvals. Check the correct code for each family member and separately confirm any study or other activity permission.
What happens to my spouse ITAS if my partner's permit expires?
E31A depends on the Indonesian citizen spouse's sponsorship and the continuing approved relationship conditions. If relevant circumstances change, contact Immigration promptly for the official status and next step.
