Entering 2027, the Indonesia Golden Visa program continues to operate under the E28A, E28B, and E28C limited stay visa framework, and the core investment thresholds remain unchanged: USD 350,000 or 700,000 for the individual portfolio route, USD 1 million for the property route, USD 2.5 million or 5 million for the company route, and USD 25 million or 50 million at corporate level (all figures indicative, per official program guidance). If you are researching the Indonesia golden visa 2027 landscape, the practical question is not whether the rules have been rewritten — they have not — but what to monitor before you commit capital, and whether applying now or waiting serves your plans better.
This annual update recaps each route as it stands going into 2027, gives you a decision checklist, and flags the immigration policy signals worth watching. For the full breakdown of documents and eligibility per category, our pillar guide to Indonesia Golden Visa requirements remains the primary reference and is kept current alongside this update.
What Stays the Same in 2027
The structural elements of the program carry over intact into 2027:
- Visa indexes: E28A and E28B for company-linked investors, E28C for individual portfolio investors, plus corporate variants.
- Durations: 5-year and 10-year limited stay permits (e-ITAS), renewable where the qualifying investment is maintained.
- No local sponsor: Golden Visa holders do not need an Indonesian guarantor, unlike a standard KITAS.
- Multi-entry: holders can enter and exit freely during validity, with no hard minimum physical-presence requirement published in the program rules.
- The 90-day rule: qualifying funds must be placed within 90 days of arrival or e-ITAS issuance, held in the applicant’s own name, and maintained for the full visa duration.
In short: if you built an application plan in 2026, that plan is still valid in 2027. The thresholds below have not moved.
Route-by-Route Summary Entering 2027
E28C — Individual Portfolio Route (No Company)
The most popular route for private investors who do not want to run an Indonesian business. Indicative thresholds entering 2027:
- 5-year permit: from USD 350,000 into Indonesian government bonds, IDX-listed shares, mutual funds, or bank deposits.
- 10-year permit: from USD 700,000 in the same instruments, or from USD 1,000,000 into a qualifying residential apartment or flat.
Because the 10-year tier doubles your runway for roughly double the capital, many applicants weigh the two side by side. Our dedicated guide to the 10-year Indonesia Golden Visa walks through when the longer permit is worth it and how the property option compares to the securities option.
E28A / E28B — Company Route
For investors who establish or invest into a PT PMA (foreign-owned Indonesian company):
- 5-year permit: from USD 2.5 million invested into the Indonesian company.
- 10-year permit: from USD 5 million.
Corporate-profile conditions still apply in most published guidance: the applicant typically holds at least 20% of a foreign company, and that company shows annual turnover of at least USD 25 million (5-year) or USD 50 million (10-year). The upside is operational: company-route holders can act as director or commissioner and actively manage their Indonesian business.
Corporate / Executive Route
For corporate-level investors and C-suite executives, indicative thresholds remain USD 25 million (5-year) and USD 50 million (10-year) in Indonesian investment. This tier is negotiated at company level and is best approached with professional structuring from the start.
Apply Now or Wait? A 2027 Decision Checklist
With thresholds stable, timing is less about anticipating rule changes and more about your own readiness. Apply now if most of these are true:
- Your funds are liquid and documented. Source-of-funds evidence (bank and brokerage statements, sale agreements) is ready, and you can meet the 90-day placement window comfortably.
- You have a 3–5 year Indonesia plan. Residence, a base in Bali or Jakarta, schooling for children, or an operating business — the visa rewards commitment, since early withdrawal of the investment can trigger cancellation.
- You have chosen your instrument. Bonds and deposits behave very differently from IDX shares or a USD 1M+ apartment; the decision should be made before you file, not after.
- Your passport has at least 6 months of validity and your dependants’ documents are in order.
Consider waiting a cycle if:
- Your capital is tied up and forcing liquidity would create tax or portfolio damage in your home jurisdiction.
- You have not yet visited Indonesia to validate the lifestyle or business case — a scouting trip on a standard visa first is cheap insurance.
- Your corporate turnover documentation (for E28A/E28B) is mid-audit and cannot yet evidence the required figures.
Whenever you do file, the process runs through the official e-Visa portal. Our step-by-step guide to the Indonesia Golden Visa online application covers the evisa.imigrasi.go.id workflow, document uploads, and common rejection points.
Immigration Policy Signals to Watch in 2027
No threshold changes have been announced entering 2027, but sensible applicants keep an eye on a few signal areas:
- Official channels first. The Directorate General of Immigration’s e-Visa system and official announcements are the only authoritative source for threshold or category changes. Treat social media summaries as unverified until confirmed there.
- Instrument eligibility refinements. The lists of qualifying bonds, funds, deposits, and property types are the most likely area for administrative fine-tuning, since they can shift without changing headline thresholds.
- Verification and compliance tightening. Globally, investment migration programs are trending toward stricter source-of-funds checks. Expect documentation standards to firm up over time, not loosen — another argument for filing with clean, complete paperwork.
- Currency movements. Thresholds are denominated in USD, so applicants funding from other currencies should watch exchange exposure between commitment and the 90-day placement deadline.
HNWI Interest Trends: What We See in Practice
Advisory inquiries into the program continue to cluster around three profiles. First, portfolio investors comparing the E28C route against second-home and investor-KITAS alternatives, usually deciding based on sponsor-free status and permit length. Second, families targeting the 10-year tier for stability around schooling and property, often pairing the visa with a Bali residence plan. Third, business owners using the company route to formalize an operating presence they already run informally through partners.
Across all three, the property option attracts consistent attention. Applicants exploring the USD 1M+ residential route frequently combine their visa planning with on-the-ground scouting — the invest in Bali program by Bali Premium Trip is a practical way to view qualifying property, meet legal and relocation specialists, and stress-test the lifestyle before committing capital.
Practical Next Steps for New Applicants
- Confirm which route fits your capital and goals using the requirements guide.
- Assemble source-of-funds documentation early — it is the slowest item for most applicants.
- Decide your qualifying instrument and confirm it can be registered in your own name.
- File through the official e-Visa portal, then plan your arrival so the 90-day placement window is realistic.
- Calendar your compliance obligations: the investment must be maintained for the full permit duration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Did the Indonesia Golden Visa investment thresholds change for 2027?
No. Entering 2027, the indicative thresholds remain USD 350,000 (5-year) and USD 700,000 (10-year) for the individual portfolio route, USD 1 million for the 10-year property option, USD 2.5 million and USD 5 million for the company route, and USD 25 million and USD 50 million at corporate level. Always verify current figures on official immigration channels before filing.
Is it better to apply now or wait for possible rule changes?
With no announced changes, waiting rarely improves your position — and compliance standards globally tend to tighten rather than loosen. If your funds, documents, and Indonesia plan are ready, filing now locks in the current framework. Wait only if your capital or corporate paperwork is genuinely not ready.
Does the Golden Visa require me to live in Indonesia full-time?
Published program rules do not impose a hard minimum physical-presence requirement. The permit is multi-entry, so holders can travel freely during validity, provided the qualifying investment and immigration formalities are maintained.
Can my spouse and children be included?
Yes. Dependants can obtain linked stay permits tied to the main investor’s status under related sub-indexes. Their documentation is filed alongside or after the principal application through the same e-Visa system.
What happens if I withdraw my investment early?
Early withdrawal of the qualifying investment can trigger cancellation of the permit. The investment must be held in your own name and maintained for the full 5- or 10-year duration, so structure your liquidity around that commitment from day one.
