Can Family Spouse KITAS holders travel in and out of Indonesia during the validity period?

Last updated on Nov 27, 2025

Yes. Family/Spouse KITAS holders are allowed to leave and re-enter Indonesia, but only if they have a valid MERP (Multiple Exit and Re-entry Permit).

Important:

  • Without a MERP, your KITAS becomes invalid the moment you leave Indonesia.
  • MERP is often issued together with the KITAS, but you should always double-check its validity dates.
  • You must re-enter Indonesia before your KITAS (and MERP) expires.

If your MERP has expired or was never issued, you must obtain a new MERP before traveling, otherwise your KITAS cannot be used for re-entry.
