Indonesia (Bali)Residence by investment

Second home residence in Indonesia (Bali)

The Second Home Visa allows foreign nationals to live in Indonesia on a permanent basis without sponsorship by a local employer or citizen. The programme is intended for people with sufficient financial resources who want to secure a long-term stay through a financial guarantee. Visa holders may work, study and carry out other activities after notifying the immigration authorities. The programme requires either a substantial deposit in a state bank or the purchase of property in Indonesia.

Threshold

Placing funds in a bank or government bonds (usually ≥ IDR 2 billion); ITAS fees

Frequently asked questions about Second home residence

Can I work on this visa?

Yes, the visa holder may work, study and carry out other activities. However, the immigration authorities must be notified twice as to the nature of the activity. The work must not go beyond the scope of the residence permit and must not involve selling goods or services (except where directly connected with the main work).

How long is the residence permit valid and can it be extended?

The initial temporary residence permit (ITAS) is valid for up to five years and may be extended. The total time of stay in Indonesia may not exceed ten years. Extension applications can be filed online through the portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id.

What happens if I leave Indonesia and return frequently?

Leaving and re-entering requires a re-entry permit, which is included in the package of charges when the visa is obtained. That permit is valid for the whole period of the residence permit. Without it you may lose the right to reside in Indonesia when you leave.

How long does it take to process the visa application?

The application is processed within four working days of the payment being received by the immigration authorities. Once the visa is issued into the system it is valid for ninety days for arrival in Indonesia.
