The new visa will allow foreigners to stay for up to 10 years in the country. 

In response to the volatile global economic condition, as well as to minimize the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indonesian government has issued Circular No. IMI-0746.GR.01.01 of 2022 on the granting of a second-home visa and temporary stay permit on Tuesday, October 25, 2022. 

Announced less than a month before the scheduled upcoming G20 Summit in Bali, the visa grants foreigners the permission to stay and live in the country for either 5 years or 10 years. According to the government, the visa is aimed towards non-Indonesian citizens who wish to stay and contribute positively to the Indonesian economy. 

Application Process 

Non-Indonesian citizens can apply for the second-home visa through the Indonesian Directorate General of Immigration’s web-based application (link: visa-online.imigrasi.go.id). The required documents are as follows: 

a. Copy of passport that is valid for a minimum of 36 (thirty-six) months; 

b. Proof of funds in the foreigner’s or a sponsor’s bank account (funds must be deposited in an Indonesian state-owned bank) of at least Rp 2,000,000,000 (two billion rupiah, or around $129,000) or equivalent; 

c. Recent colored photograph (4cm x 6cm) with a white background 

d. Curriculum Vitae 

The applicant must pay a non-tax state revenue charge of Rp 3,000,000 (a little less than $200). Payment for a second-home visa can be made outside the territory of Indonesia through the PNBP online payment portal. 

The second-home visa policy will come into effect sixty days after the issuance of the Circular.
