Indonesia Retirement Visa (Retirement KITAS)
- Share:
The Retirement KITAS is designed for foreigners 55 years old and above who wish to make Indonesia their retirement home for an initial validity of 1 year. Applicants must demonstrate financial resources sufficient for their stay. A new Indonesian immigration regulation (August 22, 2023) grants expats retiring in the country five-year visa extensions, allowing 1 year validity per process.

Applicants must provide proof of pension or proof of income, secure local accommodation, and meet specific requirements outlined by immigration authorities. This visa is ideal for retirees seeking a relaxed lifestyle in Indonesia with access to affordable living and tropical surroundings.

Tailored to the needs of expatriates, these permits support sustained legal residence in major urban centres such as Jakarta, Bali, and Surabaya.

Investor KITAS: For Foreigners Who Own a Company in Indonesia
The Investor KITAS is issued to foreign nationals with shareholding in a PMA (foreign-owned company). It grants stay and business rights without a separate work permit (IMTA), while offering a Multiple Exit Re-Entry Permit (MERP) for seamless international travel. Ideal for those managing or scaling operations within Indonesia.
Working Visa KITAS: to Legally Work in Indonesia As a Foreigner
