The corporate tier of the Indonesia Golden Visa is the programme’s highest band, designed for corporate directors, C-suite executives, and companies making investments at an indicative level of USD 25 million for a 5-year permit or USD 50 million for a 10-year permit. This guide explains who qualifies, how the thresholds and foreign-company turnover rules fit together, and what white-glove support looks like for corporate executives approaching the Indonesia Golden Visa at this level.

Unlike the individual portfolio route or the mid-tier company route, the corporate tier is rarely discussed in public detail. Applications at this level are almost always structured with professional support, because the sums involved, the corporate documentation, and the number of people covered make a do-it-yourself approach impractical.

What Is the Corporate Tier of the Indonesia Golden Visa?

Indonesia’s Golden Visa sits under the limited stay visa (Visa Tinggal Terbatas) framework, using the E28A, E28B, and E28C indexes plus corporate variants. Most coverage focuses on the individual investor options — portfolio investments from an indicative USD 350,000, or company establishment from an indicative USD 2.5 million. The corporate route sits above both of these.

At this level, the investing entity is typically a corporation rather than a private individual, and the commonly cited thresholds are an indicative USD 25 million for a 5-year Golden Visa and an indicative USD 50 million for a 10-year Golden Visa in qualifying Indonesian investment. In exchange, the corporate route is generally used to secure long-term residence for the people who run the investment on the ground: directors, commissioners, and senior executives.

A corporation deploying capital into Indonesia — a new plant, a regional headquarters, a major acquisition — needs its leadership physically present without wrestling with short-term work permit renewals. The corporate Golden Visa converts a single qualifying investment into multi-year residence permits for the executives attached to it.

Who the Corporate Route Covers: Directors, Commissioners & C-Suite

The corporate tier is aimed at the leadership layer of the investing company. In practice, the profiles most often structured under this route include:

• Board directors and commissioners of the Indonesian entity receiving the investment, who need to reside in Indonesia to exercise their mandate;
• C-suite executives — CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and country heads — relocating to Jakarta, Bali, or another Indonesian base to lead operations;
• Senior expatriate managers whose roles are tied directly to the qualifying corporate investment;
• Accompanying family members, since spouses and children can generally obtain dependent stay permits linked to the principal holder’s status.

One important distinction: on company-based Golden Visa routes, holders can act as director or commissioner and manage the Indonesian business directly. This is a meaningful advantage over the portfolio route (E28C), where residence rights are clear but employment rights in unrelated entities are assessed case by case. Executives whose day job is running the Indonesian investment are therefore far better served by a company-linked or corporate structure. For a full breakdown of the mid-tier option that many founders use before stepping up, see our guide to the E28A company route at the USD 2.5–5 million level.

Indicative Investment Thresholds at a Glance

The table below places the corporate tier in context against the other Golden Visa routes. All figures are indicative, drawn from publicly available immigration-linked guidance, and should be verified against current regulations before any commitment.

Exact structuring — which entity invests, how many executives are covered, and how the investment is evidenced — is determined case by case, and detailed terms are available on request through our advisory desk.

How Foreign Company Turnover Requirements Interact With This Tier

A frequently misunderstood element of the company-linked Golden Visa framework is the turnover test applied to the applicant’s foreign company. Under the commonly cited conditions, an applicant on a company route is expected to hold at least 20% of the shares in a company outside Indonesia, and that foreign company must show annual turnover of at least USD 25 million for a 5-year visa or USD 50 million for a 10-year visa.

For corporate-tier applicants this matters in two ways. First, the turnover figures mirror the corporate investment thresholds, which means the corporate route is effectively self-selecting: organisations capable of deploying USD 25–50 million into Indonesia usually clear the turnover test comfortably, but the evidence still has to be assembled properly. Audited financial statements, shareholding registers, and corporate resolutions all form part of the file. Second, executives who personally hold qualifying stakes in the foreign parent may have more than one viable route into the programme, and choosing the right index affects duration, renewal, and what activities the permit allows.

This is precisely where structuring advice earns its keep. Submitting under the wrong index, or with turnover evidence that does not meet the documentary standard, is one of the most common causes of delay at this level. The full documentary standard is set out in our Indonesia Golden Visa requirements guide, which covers passports, source-of-funds evidence, and the corporate financials expected of company-linked applicants.

Residency Benefits for Leadership Teams

The corporate Golden Visa delivers the same core benefits as the wider programme, scaled to a leadership team:

• 5- or 10-year e-ITAS with no local sponsor. Executives receive an electronic limited stay permit tied to the qualifying investment, without needing an Indonesian guarantor — a structural improvement over conventional work-permit arrangements.
• Multi-entry flexibility. The permit allows holders to come and go throughout its validity, which suits executives who split time between Indonesia, Singapore, and other regional hubs.
• Authority to serve as director or commissioner. Company-linked holders can hold board positions and manage the Indonesian business directly.
• Family inclusion. Spouses and children can generally obtain dependent permits linked to the principal, keeping families together through a posting.
• No hard physical-presence minimums. Public guidance indicates no strict minimum-stay rules are written into the Golden Visa framework, provided the investment and immigration formalities are maintained.
• Renewability. Permits are renewable where the investment and eligibility conditions continue to be met.

Two ongoing obligations deserve emphasis. Qualifying funds are generally expected to be placed within 90 days of arrival or e-ITAS issuance, and the investment must be maintained for the full visa duration — early withdrawal can trigger cancellation. For a corporation, that means the Indonesian deployment plan and the immigration timeline must be synchronised from day one.

White-Glove Support: Immigration Plus Relocation Concierge

At the USD 25–50 million level, our engagement model is deliberately end-to-end. The immigration workstream covers eligibility assessment, route selection across the E28 indexes, document preparation, and management of the filing through the official channel. Applications are lodged via the Directorate General of Immigration’s e-visa system, and our walkthrough of the online application process on evisa.imigrasi.go.id shows what the portal stages look like in practice.

Beyond the visa itself, executive relocations succeed or fail on the ground. Through our group’s Bali-based concierge arm, leadership teams can arrange airport fast-track coordination, villa and residence sourcing, school and healthcare orientation, and 24/7 secure transportation with professional drivers for executives and their families. The goal is that a director lands in Indonesia with the permit resolved, the house ready, and the first board meeting already in the calendar.

This advisory desk operates within the Juara Holding Group, an Indonesian group active in premium travel and expatriate services, which is why we can pair immigration structuring with genuine on-the-ground execution rather than handing clients off after approval.

This page is general information, not legal, tax, financial, or investment advice. Indonesian immigration and investment regulations change, thresholds and category definitions may be revised, and individual circumstances vary significantly at the corporate level.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum investment for the corporate Indonesia Golden Visa?

Commonly cited thresholds are an indicative USD 25 million for the 5-year permit and an indicative USD 50 million for the 10-year permit, invested at corporate level into Indonesia. Exact figures should be verified against current regulations before structuring, and tailored guidance is available on request.

Can several executives be covered under one corporate investment?

The corporate route is generally used to secure residence for the leadership attached to the qualifying investment — directors, commissioners, and senior executives — with spouses and children eligible for dependent permits linked to each principal. How many individuals a single investment supports is assessed case by case, which is one reason corporate files are structured with professional advice.

How does the corporate tier differ from the E28A company route?

The E28A/E28B company route targets individual founders and shareholders investing an indicative USD 2.5–5 million through a PT PMA, while the corporate tier applies at an indicative USD 25–50 million and is oriented toward corporations placing executives in Indonesia. Both allow holders to act as director or commissioner; the difference is scale, structuring, and who the investing party is.

Does the foreign company turnover requirement apply to executives?

Under commonly cited conditions, company-linked applicants are expected to hold at least 20% of a foreign company showing annual turnover of at least USD 25 million (5-year) or USD 50 million (10-year), evidenced through audited financials. Whether the turnover test or the corporate investment threshold drives a specific executive’s file depends on how the application is structured, so this should be mapped before filing.

Is there a minimum stay requirement once the visa is granted?

Public guidance indicates no hard physical-presence minimums are written into the Golden Visa rules, provided the qualifying investment is maintained for the full permit duration and immigration formalities are kept current. Executives should still plan around the 90-day window generally expected for placing qualifying funds after arrival or e-ITAS issuance.

How long does a corporate application take?

Timelines vary with the complexity of the corporate documentation, the responsiveness of the applicant’s finance and legal teams, and processing at the immigration authority. Files are submitted through the official e-visa portal, and well-prepared corporate applications typically move faster than files that need remediation mid-process. We provide a realistic timeline estimate after an initial document review.
