Indonesia’s Golden Visa grants qualifying investors a five- or ten-year residence permit, with individual thresholds starting at USD 350,000 placed in Indonesian government bonds, listed shares, or bank deposits as of 2026. Our Indonesia golden visa service manages the entire route end-to-end — eligibility assessment, investment logistics, document preparation, application filing, and arrival support in Bali — built for investors weighing Indonesia against the UAE Golden Visa or seeking a second base in Southeast Asia.
What Is Indonesia’s Golden Visa and Who Qualifies?
The Indonesia Golden Visa, launched nationally in July 2024 and administered by the Directorate General of Immigration, is a long-stay permit designed to attract foreign capital and talent. Unlike a standard visit visa or work permit, it does not require a local employer or sponsor. As of 2026, the main investor categories are:
- Individual investor (no company established): USD 350,000 for a 5-year permit or USD 700,000 for 10 years, placed in Indonesian government bonds, shares of publicly listed companies, or time deposits.
- Individual investor establishing a company: USD 2,500,000 for 5 years or USD 5,000,000 for 10 years invested in the Indonesian entity.
- Corporate route: companies investing USD 25,000,000 or more can obtain golden visas for directors and commissioners, rising to USD 50,000,000 for the 10-year tier.
- Global figures and talent: a discretionary category assessed case by case.
Benefits include multi-year stay with multiple re-entry, priority immigration lanes, and no sponsor requirement. Thresholds are set by regulation and can be revised, so we re-verify current figures for every client before any funds move.
Golden Visa or Second Home Visa: Which Route Fits You?
The Golden Visa is not the only investor route. Indonesia’s Second Home Visa (E33 index) targets financially independent individuals and retirees, with a proof-of-funds requirement of IDR 2 billion (roughly USD 130,000 as of 2026) held in a state-owned Indonesian bank, or qualifying property ownership. Choosing the right route is the most important decision in the process.
| Route | Indicative threshold (as of 2026) | Duration | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Visa — individual, no company | USD 350,000 / USD 700,000 | 5 / 10 years | Passive investors, portfolio holders |
| Golden Visa — establishing a company | USD 2.5M / USD 5M | 5 / 10 years | Founders building an Indonesian business |
| Second Home Visa (E33) | IDR 2 billion deposit (approx. USD 130,000) | 5 / 10 years | Retirees, families, long-stay residents |
| E33G Remote Worker Visa | Proof of approx. USD 60,000 annual income | 1 year | Remote employees and digital nomads |
We assess your goals, family situation, and capital structure before recommending a route. For shorter-stay options and standard permits, see our Bali visa processing service.
How Does It Compare to the UAE Golden Visa?
A fair comparison, because Dubai’s programme is genuinely strong. The UAE Golden Visa offers 10-year residence, most commonly through AED 2 million (approximately USD 545,000) in real estate, backed by zero personal income tax and a mature freehold market. If your priority is tax-free salary income and Gulf market access, the UAE remains hard to beat.
Indonesia’s programme wins on different terms. The 5-year individual tier starts at USD 350,000 — meaningfully below the UAE’s property threshold — and the capital sits in bonds, listed shares, or deposits rather than being locked into a single property, so it stays diversified and comparatively liquid. Living costs in Bali run far below Dubai’s, and the visa pairs naturally with Bali investment opportunities in villas and hospitality if you want real estate exposure on your own timetable rather than as a visa condition. Indonesia does tax its residents, so review our overview of tax considerations for UAE residents moving to Bali before you commit.
What Does Our Indonesia Golden Visa Service Include?
- Eligibility and route assessment: a structured review of your objectives, funds, and family situation against current regulations.
- Investment placement logistics: coordination with licensed Indonesian banks and securities channels for bond, share, or deposit placement. We facilitate; we do not give investment advice.
- Document preparation: passports, proof of funds, translations, and legalisations compiled to immigration standards.
- Application filing and liaison: submission through official immigration channels and follow-up until decision.
- Family applications: spouse and dependent permits processed alongside yours.
- Arrival and settlement: airport handling, biometrics appointments, and handover into our Dubai to Bali migration support — housing, schooling, banking, and company setup if required.
- Compliance calendar: reminders for maintaining the qualifying investment and renewal windows.
How the Process Works
- Step 1 — Consultation: a free WhatsApp conversation to map goals and confirm eligibility.
- Step 2 — Route and quote: we recommend the right route and confirm scope and fees in writing.
- Step 3 — Documents and funds: we compile your file and coordinate the qualifying placement with the bank or securities channel.
- Step 4 — Filing: application submitted through official immigration channels; we handle queries and follow-up.
- Step 5 — Approval and arrival: visa issued, travel planned, biometrics completed, and settlement support begins.
Once documents and funds are in place, processing is typically measured in weeks rather than months, though timelines vary by category — we set expectations honestly at the quote stage.
How Much Does the Service Cost?
Three cost layers apply. First, the qualifying investment itself — this is not a fee. Your USD 350,000 or IDR 2 billion remains your asset, held in your name, and must simply be maintained for the visa’s validity. Second, official government fees, payable per the immigration fee schedule current at filing. Third, our professional fee, which as of 2026 is indicatively in the range of USD 2,500 to USD 7,500 depending on the route, number of family members, and complexity of your file. All figures above are indicative only: regulations, thresholds, and fees change, and your exact scope and price are confirmed in a written quotation before any engagement begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I hold an Indonesia Golden Visa alongside my UAE Golden Visa?
Yes. Both are residence permits, not citizenship, and neither requires giving up the other. Note that spending 183 days or more per year in Indonesia generally makes you an Indonesian tax resident, so plan your calendar deliberately.
Is the USD 350,000 a payment or an investment?
An investment. The funds go into Indonesian government bonds, listed shares, or deposits in your own name and remain yours. The condition is that the qualifying amount stays in place for the duration of the permit.
Does the Golden Visa lead to permanent residency or citizenship?
It is a long-stay permit, and time spent in Indonesia can support applications for longer-term residence later. Indonesia does not offer citizenship by investment as of 2026, and we will never claim otherwise.
How long does approval take?
It varies by category, but with a complete file and funds placed, decisions commonly arrive within weeks. We manage all follow-up for you.
