Indonesia
Indonesia’s Golden Visa and Second Home Visa open a five- or ten-year stay in Southeast Asia’s largest economy — from a refundable deposit of about 130,000 USD, or 350,000 USD in government bonds and shares. The thing to be clear about: this is residence, not a passport — Indonesia does not allow dual citizenship — and it in principle taxes tax-residents on worldwide income up to 35%, so the tax question needs planning, not assumptions.
Residency by investment — key figures

- $130 000≈ $173 550 — estimated total, family of four, fees included

- There is no minimum-stay requirement to keep the visa, but the qualifying investment or deposit must be maintained for its whole term. Spending enough time in Indonesia can make you tax-resident there.

What we do for you
Citizenship or residence, the honest answer often is not the one you arrived with. We take the whole procedure with you — eligibility, the route that fits your situation, the file, the follow-up — with one person on your side throughout.
For Indonesia specifically, you are talking to someone who already knows the file: who to speak to on the ground, what the unit actually asks for, and the points where applications stall.
- One point of contact, from the first call to the certificate
- Vetted partners on the ground — law firms, licensed agents, banks — introduced, not listed
- It starts with a short qualifying call, and no, it is not a sales call
