Indonesia launched Golden Visa, a grouping of limited stay visas, limited stay permits, permanent stay permits, and re-entry permits for a certain period, namely a maximum of 5 or 10 years.
The Golden Visa is a new visa group granted for investment, family reunification, repatriation, and second homes and eligible for foreign investors to invest without having to establish a company in Indonesia.
Indonesia launched its Golden Visa program in 2023, aiming to attract high-value individuals by offering long-term residency and simplified bureaucratic processes. Golden Visa holders gain exclusive benefits, including multiple-entry stays, eligibility for local investment, and access to premium immigration services—solidifying Indonesia’s status as a rising global hub for innovation and investment.
Tailored for professionals at the top of their fields, the Global Talent scheme enables skilled individuals to reside and contribute while living in Indonesia. Designed to attract innovators, researchers, and digital nomads, this visa supports Indonesia’s ambition to foster a globally competitive talent ecosystem.
Indonesia’s Golden Visa framework extends benefits to immediate family members through the Dependent Visa category. Whether for a spouse, child, or legally supported personage, this visa allows families to remain together and legally reside in Indonesia under the principal applicant’s permit, ensuring long-term family integration.
Ideal for high-net-worth individuals residing outside Indonesia, the Second Home Visa offers an extended stay for those looking to enjoy Indonesia’s lifestyle and investment climate. It’s a non-working visa targeted at retirees and global citizens seeking a stable and scenic second base in Southeast Asia.
Designed under updated laws and regulations, the Diaspora Golden Visa accommodates former Indonesian citizens and their descendants. This visa class acknowledges cultural and ancestral ties, enabling the Indonesian diaspora to reconnect, contribute, and legally reside under policies that support long-term re-engagement.
Structured for foreign investors seeking a work visa aligned with business and investing activities, this category facilitates company ownership or direct investment in Indonesia. Investors can legally stay and work, while contributing capital to strategic sectors and benefiting from streamlined immigration pathways.
Popularly known as the Silver Hair Visa, this is a new non-working permit available to retirees aged 60 and above. It allows long-term stay in Indonesia with access to local services and residency stability, offering an ideal option for those seeking a tropical retirement destination. What makes it different with the regular Retirement Visa is that the Silver Hair Visa allows much longer stay up to 10 years.
The Golden Visa is valid for 5 years and 10 years.
