Foreign investors in an Indonesian company can stay on an investor permit (index E28) instead of a working permit. Under the 2025 classification, investor permit holders may hold business discussions, negotiate and sign agreements, and representatives of holding companies assigned to Indonesian subsidiaries have their own sub-index, E28G.
