Indonesia Golden Visa and Second Home Visa
- Processing time
- 1–3 months
- Physical presence
- 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.
- Family
- The main investor can include a spouse and children; family members receive dependent stay permits tied to the principal.

Limits and drawbacks
- This is residence, not a passport. Indonesia does not allow dual citizenship, so the Golden Visa is not a route to an Indonesian nationality.
- Indonesia in principle taxes tax-residents on worldwide income at rates up to 35%. Holding the visa does not automatically make you tax-resident, but if you spend enough time there, the worldwide-income question is real and must be planned for.
- The deposit or investment must stay in place for the whole term; withdrawing it can end the permit.
- Infrastructure, bureaucracy and currency (IDR) volatility are practical realities to weigh against the low entry cost.
