Indonesia

Second Home Visa. Park IDR 2 billion (about $130,000) in an Indonesian state bank and get a 5- or 10-year stay permit, with no work rights.

Free, with the law behind every answer

Second Home Visa

A 5-year or 10-year multiple-entry stay permit (KITAS) for the applicant and dependants; does not grant the right to work for an Indonesian employer.

Who qualifies

A deposit of IDR 2,000,000,000 (about USD 130,000, depending on the exchange rate) placed in the applicant’s own name at a state-owned Indonesian bank — BNI, BRI, or Mandiri — and maintained for the life of the permit.

You keep your U.S. citizenship.

Does it fit your family?

One question, from the program’s own rules.

Savings you could move or invest?

Not legal advice.

What it takes.

Investment: About $130,000.
Time: 1–3 months to arrange the bank deposit and documentation; processing itself is 1–2 weeks once the deposit certificate is in hand.
Cost: About IDR 7,000,000 (roughly $450) in government fees plus typical agent fees of $1,500–5,000; the $130,000 deposit is capital, not a fee, and is returnable.
The hard part: Sourcing and parking $130,000 of real capital in a state bank account in your own name and keeping it there for the life of the permit.

Dollar figures are converted from the local currency at the rate the program’s research used; the official figure is in the local currency.

Citizens by 2033.

If your first permit is issued in 2027 and you keep living there, this is the road.

2027
First residence permit
5 years, renewable for 5 years at a time.
2030
Permanent residence
Switch the limited stay permit (ITAS) to a permanent one (ITAP) after three consecutive years in Indonesia. Workers, investors, clergy, retirees over 60, family reunion and second-home ITAS holders are on the list of those who may switch; an integration statement is required.
2032
Apply for citizenship
With a language test and a civics test.
2033
Citizenship

Language: Able to speak Indonesian.
Civics: Acknowledge the state ideology Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution; no written test is set in the law.
Time away: Living in Indonesia for at least 5 consecutive years, or 10 years in total, at the time of applying. Applicants also need steady work or income and pay a naturalisation fee.
Two passports: Usually not: new citizens are asked to give up their other citizenship.

Second-home holders are on the list allowed to switch to a permanent stay permit (ITAP); citizenship needs five years living there, Indonesian and giving up your old citizenship, and whether the three-year wait applies to second-home holders is not spelled out.
How long the decision takes isn’t published; we allow a year.
This country asks new citizens to give up their other citizenship.

The law behind these dates

Living there.

Time you must spend there: The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax: 183 or more days a year in Indonesia triggers Indonesian tax residency on worldwide income; many Second Home holders manage their time to stay under that.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
