Indonesia Golden Visa 2026: Complete Guide for Investors

## What Is the Indonesia Golden Visa?

Indonesia's Golden Visa program, launched under Presidential Regulation No. 37/2024, offers 5- or 10-year residence permits to foreign investors who meet specific investment thresholds. Unlike a standard KITAS, the Golden Visa is tied to investment value — not employment — making it the ideal long-term solution for property investors, entrepreneurs, and retirees.

## Eligibility Tiers

### Individual Investors

| Category | Investment Required | Duration | |----------|-------------------|----------| | Individual | $350,000 in Indonesian state bonds or stocks | 5 years | | Individual Premium | $700,000 in Indonesian instruments | 10 years | | Property | $350,000 in property (in designated areas) | 5 years |

### Corporate Investors (via PT PMA)

| Category | Investment Required | Duration | |----------|-------------------|----------| | Business (Small-Medium) | $2.5M minimum investment | 5 years | | Business (Large) | $5M minimum investment | 10 years |

## What You Get

- **5 or 10-year stay permit** (extendable) - **Multiple entry** to Indonesia without additional visas - **Freedom to invest** across multiple sectors simultaneously - **Family inclusion** — spouse and children under 18 covered - **No employment sponsor required** — unlike standard KITAS - **Pathway to KITAP** (permanent residency) after continuous legal stay

## The Application Process

1. **Prepare investment documentation** — proof of fund transfer to qualifying Indonesian instruments or property ownership 2. **Obtain KBLI registration** if investing through PT PMA 3. **Submit application** through the Directorate General of Immigration (imigrasi.go.id) or via DKPM-BKPM portal 4. **Biometrics and interview** at Indonesian Embassy or local immigration office 5. **Receive e-ITAS** (electronic residency card) — typically 4-8 weeks

## Costs

| Item | Cost | |------|------| | Government fee (5-year) | $3,000 | | Government fee (10-year) | $5,000 | | Legal/agent processing | $1,500 – $3,000 | | Investment minimum | $350,000+ |

## Property-Linked Golden Visa

One of the most attractive pathways is the property-linked Golden Visa. Purchasing a villa or commercial property worth $350,000+ in approved areas (including Bali) qualifies you for a 5-year permit.

**Important:** The property must be purchased through a PT PMA (not leasehold). This makes the PT PMA structure even more valuable — it simultaneously gives you legal property ownership AND residency eligibility.
