Indonesia Second Home Visa

The Second Home Visa is Indonesia's sponsor-free long-stay route for financially self-sufficient foreigners, indexed E33 in the Directorate General of Immigration's visa catalogue. The official description is a visa for foreigners who wish to live in Indonesia without a sponsor, relying instead on an immigration guarantee (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33). It is distinct from the Golden Visa family (E33A–E33F) and from the Second Home Remote Worker visa, which is the variant actually indexed E33G (Daftar Visa Indonesia).

The defining feature is a post-arrival financial test rather than a pre-approval investment. Within 90 days of the issuance of the limited stay permit (ITAS) or of entry, the holder must prove either (a) funds held in their own name in a state-owned Indonesian bank of at least US$130,000, or (b) ownership of a condominium or apartment in Indonesia worth at least US$1,000,000. The guarantee value must be maintained for the whole period of stay (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33). Both thresholds are denominated in US dollars by the regulator itself, so no FX conversion is needed. Older references to an IDR 2 billion threshold do not reflect the current official requirement.

The first ITAS granted on an E33 visa runs for a maximum of five years, is extendable, and total stay in Indonesia may not exceed ten years; the permit can also be converted into another permit type, and extensions are filed online through the e-visa portal (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33). The entry visa itself is valid 90 days from issue and applications are processed in about four working days (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).

Government fees (PNBP) for the up-to-five-year configuration total Rp 13,000,000: Rp 500,000 for the visa, Rp 2,000,000 for verification, Rp 7,000,000 for the five-year ITAS and Rp 3,500,000 for the five-year re-entry permit — non-refundable if the application is refused (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33). An earlier e-visa FAQ page described the same product as "up to 5 years (extendable)" with a single IDR 7,000,000 fee, which is now superseded by the fee breakdown on the E33 page (Indonesia eVisa FAQ).

The legal architecture was refreshed in 2024–2025: Law 6/2011 as amended by Law 63/2024, Government Regulation 31/2013 as amended by 40/2023, PP 45/2024 on PNBP fees, Ministerial Regulation 22/2023 as amended by 11/2024, and — critically for the classification — Decision of the Minister of Immigration and Corrections No. M.IP-08.GR.01.01 of 2025 on Visa Classification (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).

Core eligibility

• Be a foreign national who intends to live in Indonesia without an Indonesian sponsor, using an immigration guarantee instead (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).

• No age floor, nationality restriction, or business activity is stated on the official page; the visa does not authorise employment in Indonesia (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).

Capital / guarantee requirements (post-arrival, within 90 days of ITAS issuance or entry) — one of:

• Funds in the applicant's own name in a state-owned Indonesian bank of at least US$130,000; or

• Ownership of an Indonesian condominium/apartment worth at least US$1,000,000 (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).

• The guarantee value must be maintained throughout the stay, not merely shown once (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).

Documentation at visa-application stage

• Passport valid for at least six months (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).

• Personal bank statement showing at least US$2,000 held over the previous three months (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).

• Recent photograph, curriculum vitae, and travel itinerary (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).

Fees and timing

• Total PNBP for the up-to-five-year package: Rp 13,000,000 (visa Rp 500,000 + verification Rp 2,000,000 + five-year ITAS Rp 7,000,000 + five-year re-entry permit Rp 3,500,000), non-refundable on refusal (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).

• Processing about four working days; entry visa valid 90 days from issuance (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).

Maintenance and progression

• First ITAS up to five years, extendable, but total stay in Indonesia capped at ten years; extensions filed via evisa.imigrasi.go.id (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).

• The permit may be converted into another stay-permit type, which is the practical route into ITAP (permanent stay) (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).

No minimum annual income is imposed; the test is asset-based (bank balance or property value) plus a modest US$2,000 three-month statement at application (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).

• No Indonesian sponsor or employer is required — the visa runs on an immigration guarantee, which is unusual for long-stay Indonesian permits (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).
• The financial test is satisfied after arrival (within 90 days of ITAS issuance), so capital does not have to be committed before approval (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).
• A five-year initial limited stay permit — long by regional standards — extendable up to a ten-year total stay (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).
• The deposit route is a bank deposit in the holder's own name, not a donation or locked fund contribution, so the capital remains the applicant's (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).
• Roughly four working days processing, with online extension filing through the e-visa portal (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).
• Total government fees of Rp 13,000,000 (≈low four figures in USD) for a five-year permit plus re-entry permit — inexpensive relative to comparable Asian residence products (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).
• The permit is expressly convertible into other stay-permit categories, preserving a route to ITAP (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33); investors holding ITAS for three consecutive years may apply for ITAP under Article 60 of Law 6/2011 (YLP Consulting).
• Classification and fees were both refreshed in 2024–2025 instruments, so the product rests on current law rather than legacy circulars (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).

Indonesian naturalisation is available but demanding. Under Article 9 of Law No. 12 of 2006, an applicant must be at least 18 or married; have resided in Indonesia for at least five consecutive years, or ten non-consecutive years; be physically and mentally healthy; be able to speak Bahasa Indonesia and acknowledge the Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution; have no conviction carrying a sentence of one year or more; have a steady job or income; and — decisively — not acquire dual nationality as a result of naturalising, meaning the existing citizenship must be given up (Law 12/2006, Art. 9).

Dual citizenship is prohibited. Article 23(a) of the same law provides that Indonesian citizenship is lost where a person voluntarily acquires another nationality (Law 12/2006, Art. 23).

The intermediate step is permanent stay (ITAP). Article 60 of Law 6/2011 allows an investor holding an ITAS to apply for ITAP after three consecutive years, with ITAP issued for five years and renewable (YLP Consulting). Because the Second Home ITAS caps total stay at ten years, an applicant with citizenship ambitions would in practice convert to ITAP well before that ceiling (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33). Note that the five-year residence requirement is a physical/legal residence test, which in Indonesia carries tax-residence consequences.

The competent authority is the Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi (Directorate General of Immigration) under the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections, which publishes the E33 requirements, fee schedule and processing times (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33).

The stack of instruments cited on the official page is: Law No. 6 of 2011 on Immigration, as amended by Law No. 63 of 2024; Government Regulation No. 31 of 2013, as amended by Government Regulation No. 40 of 2023; Government Regulation No. 45 of 2024 on non-tax state revenue (the source of the Rp 500,000 / Rp 2,000,000 / Rp 7,000,000 / Rp 3,500,000 fees); Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights No. 22 of 2023, as amended by No. 11 of 2024; and Decision of the Minister of Immigration and Corrections No. M.IP-08.GR.01.01 of 2025 on Visa Classification, which is the instrument that fixes E33 as the Second Home index (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi — E33). The published visa index confirms the codes: E33 Second Home, E33A–E33F Golden Visa variants, E33G Second Home Remote Worker (Daftar Visa Indonesia).

Permanent stay (ITAP) sits under Article 60 of Law 6/2011, under which an investor holding an ITAS may apply after three consecutive years, with ITAP valid five years and renewable (YLP Consulting summary of Art. 60). Naturalisation is governed by Law No. 12 of 2006 on Citizenship (Law 12/2006).
