This great visa is available with terms lengths of 1, 2 or 5 years. As the name suggests, this visa is multiple entry, but the restriction is you cannot stay in the country for more than 60 days in one trip.

Please note, that you need a sponsor for this visa which much have an Indonesian business entity.
Temporary Stay Permits (KITAS)
For those that plan to live in Indonesia for what ever purpose, you need to apply for a KITAS.

Common KITAS types include: Working, Dependent, Investor, Spouse, Retirement, Second Home, Artist, Repatriation, Family Sponsored and Research.
As the names suggest, the type is relative to the purpose, and they come with varying lengths.
