The Indonesia Second Home Visa program, or commonly known as a Digital Nomad Visa, offers a new long-term visa, enabling foreigners to stay in Indonesia for a period of up to five years.
This visa allows people to stay in the country for non-work reasons, such as investment, tourism, or retirement.
The Second Home stay permit allows a stay in Indonesia for 5 years, and can be upgraded up to 10 years.
To be eligible for Indonesia’s Second Home Visa, applicants must meet the following criteria prior to approval:
The visa application is only considered valid if submitted by the foreign national or their guarantor to a designated immigration officer at the Directorate General of Immigration.
