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.
Investment routes
Bank deposit
From $130 000
- Capital
- Refundable
Second Home Visa: keep at least IDR 2 billion (about 130,000 USD) in a deposit at an Indonesian state-owned bank in your own name, or hold qualifying property, for a five- or ten-year stay permit. The deposit remains your money but must stay in place.
Government bonds
From $350 000
- Capital
- Refundable
Golden Visa (E28C, passive investor): purchase at least 350,000 USD in Indonesian government bonds, listed shares or mutual funds for a five-year visa, or 700,000 USD for a ten-year visa. A business route (E28B) requires from 2.5 million USD.
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.
