Indonesia Golden Visa Requirements: Everything You Need to Qualify
Understand the exact eligibility criteria, financial thresholds, documentation requirements, and legal regulations governing Indonesia’s Golden Visa program. Updated for the latest 2025–2026 regulatory framework.
Who Qualifies for the Indonesia Golden Visa?
The Indonesia Golden Visa program, established under Government Regulation No. 77 of 2023 (PP 77/2023) and Presidential Regulation No. 5 of 2024, provides long-term residency permits to qualified foreign nationals. The program targets two distinct categories: individual investors and corporate entities. Each category has specific financial thresholds and documentation requirements that must be satisfied before the Directorate General of Immigration will approve an application.
Unlike traditional KITAS or KITAP permits that require employer sponsorship or local guarantors, the Golden Visa is self-sponsored through qualifying investments. This means applicants maintain full independence — no employer ties, no agent dependencies, and no annual renewal obligations during the visa’s 5-to-10-year validity period.
The program is open to citizens of virtually all countries. There are no nationality-based restrictions in the governing regulations, although all applicants must clear standard immigration security screening conducted by Indonesian authorities.
Golden Visa Requirements for Individual Investors
Individual applicants must meet one of the following investment thresholds and provide the required supporting documentation.
Government Bonds (SBN/Sukuk)
Purchase Indonesian government bonds with a minimum value of USD 350,000. Bonds must be held throughout the visa duration. Proof of purchase from an authorized securities dealer is required. Government bonds offer sovereign-grade security with yields of 6–7% per annum, making this the most popular pathway for risk-averse investors.
5-year visa or 10-year visa available
Real Estate Investment
Invest in Indonesian real property — residential villas, apartments, or commercial buildings — with a minimum value of USD 350,000. Property must be acquired through legal structures available to foreign nationals, such as Hak Pakai (Right to Use) title. Property valuation must be verified by an independent appraiser registered with the Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK).
Bali, Jakarta, and other eligible locations
Public Listed Shares (IDX)
Purchase shares listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) with a minimum portfolio value of USD 350,000. Shares must be held through a licensed securities broker in Indonesia. Portfolio rebalancing is permitted provided the total value remains above the threshold throughout the visa duration.
IDX-listed equities only
Golden Visa Requirements for Corporate Investors
Corporate applicants follow a separate pathway. The investing entity must establish or acquire a qualifying Indonesian company (PT PMA — foreign investment company) with minimum paid-up capital as follows:
5-Year Golden Visa
USD 2.5 Million
Minimum paid-up capital in a qualifying PT PMA company
10-Year Golden Visa
USD 5 Million
Minimum paid-up capital for extended duration visa
The Golden Visa under the corporate pathway is issued to directors, commissioners, and designated personnel of the investing company. Each visa holder must be formally appointed in the company’s articles of association and registered with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham).
The company must operate in a sector open to foreign investment under Indonesia’s Positive Investment List (Daftar Positif Investasi). Certain sectors have maximum foreign ownership limits that must be observed. Our legal team verifies sector eligibility and ownership structure compliance before application submission.

A complete application package includes the following documents. Our team assists with preparation, notarization, and translation of all required materials.

Regulatory Basis of the Indonesia Golden Visa
The Indonesia Golden Visa is grounded in a clear regulatory framework that provides legal certainty for all applicants. The primary legal instruments governing the program include Government Regulation No. 77 of 2023 (PP 77/2023) on Immigration Administration, which established the Golden Visa category within Indonesian immigration law. This was subsequently reinforced by Presidential Regulation No. 5 of 2024, which detailed the specific investment thresholds and eligibility criteria.
The program is jointly administered by two government bodies: the Directorate General of Immigration (Dirjen Imigrasi) under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, which handles visa issuance and immigration procedures; and the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), which verifies investment compliance and sector eligibility. This dual-oversight structure ensures both immigration and investment requirements are independently verified.
The Golden Visa is classified as an ITAS (Izin Tinggal Terbatas — Limited Stay Permit) for 5-year durations, or an ITAP (Izin Tinggal Tetap — Permanent Stay Permit equivalent) for 10-year durations. Both permit types grant multiple-entry privileges and are renewable upon continued compliance with investment requirements.
Golden Visa Requirements FAQ
What is the minimum investment amount for an Indonesia Golden Visa?
For individual applicants, the minimum investment is USD 350,000 in government bonds, real estate, or public listed shares. For corporate applicants, the minimum paid-up capital is USD 2.5 million for a 5-year visa or USD 5 million for a 10-year visa.
Do I need to be physically present in Indonesia to apply?
Initial application preparation can be done remotely. However, you will need to visit Indonesia for biometric data collection and final visa issuance. Our team coordinates the timing so your visit is efficient — typically 3–5 business days on the ground.
Is there an age requirement for the Golden Visa?
There is no minimum or maximum age requirement for the Golden Visa. Any foreign national who meets the financial and documentation requirements can apply regardless of age. Dependent children under 18 are included under the parent’s application.
Can I combine multiple investment types to meet the threshold?
Under current regulations, each investment pathway is evaluated independently. You must meet the full threshold within a single category — for example, USD 350,000 in government bonds OR USD 350,000 in real estate. Combination of different investment types is not permitted under the current framework.
What happens if my investment value drops below the threshold?
For government bonds and real estate, values are assessed at the time of acquisition. Market fluctuations in share portfolios may require top-up investments to maintain compliance. We recommend conservative portfolio strategies and regular monitoring to prevent threshold breaches.
Do I need a police clearance certificate?
Yes. A police clearance certificate (SKCK equivalent) from your country of residence is required. It must be issued within the last 6 months and apostilled or legalized by the Indonesian Embassy or Consulate in your country.
