Other options of Retirement Visa Indonesia

Retirement Visa KITAS E33F

For foreigners who want to stay in Indonesia long term during their retirement, the KITAS E33F or commonly known as the Retirement KITAS, offers a renewable temporary stay permit. This is one of the popular visa options as an alternative to the Silver Hair KITAS, allowing retirees to enjoy life in Indonesia for a year without engaging in work-related activities. Applicants must meet age, income, and accommodation requirements to qualify.

Retirement KITAP

The Retirement KITAP provides a permanent visa and stay permit for retirees who wish to reside in Indonesia beyond the annual renewal cycle. Ideal for those looking to fully retire in Indonesia, this permit grants a longer length of stay, reducing administrative burdens and offering greater long-term residency security.

Other Golden Visa Indonesia

FAQ

What is the difference between a Silver Hair Visa and a Retirement KITAS?

The Silver Hair Visa, while similar in purpose to the Golden Visa for retirees, presents a new program with its own set of requirements and associated benefits. A Retirement KITAS offers a viable option for foreign nationals 60 years of age or older who do not fulfill the Silver Hair Visa’s investment prerequisites.

Make sure to submit your proof of deposit by the deadline. Ignoring this may complicate your visa status.

Obtaining a retirement KITAS grants Indonesian tax residency. Compliance with Indonesian tax law mandates the payment of income tax, according to total income levels. Seeking expert advice is recommended to better understand Indonesian tax requirements.
