Thresholds are USD-set, IDR-monitored, change by regulation, and apply case-by-case; figures are "last verified June 2026" — confirm at the e-Visa portal (evisa.imigrasi.go.id) and with licensed Indonesian immigration/tax counsel before acting.

The ikn nusantara golden visa is Indonesia’s new residency-by-investment track tied to capital and operational commitments in Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN), the new capital in East Kalimantan. It sits inside the broader Golden Visa framework issued under Permenkumham 22/2023 and its 11/2024 amendment, and uses the same stay permits and durations, but with IKN-specific investment thresholds and sector priorities.
This page summarises what is known so far about the Nusantara Golden Visa from the published regulations and Directorate General of Immigration policy releases, and flags where key IKN golden visa thresholds have been reduced or are still pending implementing rules. Information only, not advice; for execution with a vetted local partner, you can contact us and ask for WhatsApp-based planning support.

## 1. Regulatory backbone: where the Nusantara Golden Visa fits
Indonesia’s Golden Visa framework is set out in three core instruments:
– **Permenkumham 22/2023** – Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation on Visas and Stay Permits (Golden Visa introduced here, 30 August 2023).
– **Permenkumham 11/2024** – Amendment to 22/2023 (effective 2024; refines Golden Visa categories, including IKN alignment).
– **PMK 82/2023** – Minister of Finance Regulation on types and tariffs of non-tax state revenue for immigration services (sets official fees for Golden Visa processing).
The IKN-specific angle comes from:
– **Law 3/2022** on the National Capital (IKN Law).
– **Government Regulations and OIKN (Otorita IKN) policies** on incentives for investors in Ibu Kota Nusantara.
The immigration regulations (Permenkumham 22/2023 as amended by 11/2024) open the door for “strategic investments” and “national priority projects”, which explicitly include IKN. However, the **granular IKN investment thresholds** and sector lists are being implemented gradually through OIKN and ministerial-level decisions.
Where you see **[VERIFY]** below, it means that as of 15 June 2026, the exact IKN amount or condition is either:
– still in draft,
– only stated in speeches/press but not yet in a citable written regulation, or
– described inconsistently between government channels.
We do not repeat untraceable numbers.

## 2. What is different about the IKN Nusantara Golden Visa?
From an immigration-status point of view, the IKN Nusantara Golden Visa is **not** a separate visa type with its own code. It is a **priority use-case** inside the existing Golden Visa framework:
– Same basic **visa category**: limited stay visa (VITAS) leading to limited stay permit (ITAS) with 5- or 10‑year durations.
– Same **core rights**: multiple-entry, in-country stay, ability to sponsor limited family members, no immediate path to citizenship.
– Different **investment logic**: your investment must be channelled into, or strongly tied to, Ibu Kota Nusantara and meet the **IKN-specific minimums** and sector conditions set by OIKN and line ministries.
The main “reduced thresholds” story is this:
– For generic foreign investors outside IKN, Golden Visa capital thresholds (e.g. corporate equity injections and government bonds) were initially discussed in the multi‑million‑USD range.
– For **IKN-linked projects**, policymakers have publicly flagged **lower minimums and more flexible forms of contribution** – especially for:
– digital/tech infrastructure,
– green energy and transport,
– education and healthcare facilities,
– government–business partnerships for public services.
As of 15 June 2026, **not all of those lower IKN thresholds are yet codified in a single, publicly accessible regulation**. Some are only visible case‑by‑case via OIKN investment approval processes. Treat any specific IKN figure you see elsewhere online without a regulation citation as **marketing, not law**.

## 3. Golden Visa tiers and where IKN fits
Under Permenkumham 22/2023 and 11/2024, Indonesia’s Golden Visa has the following main tracks (immigration-side). IKN participation interacts directly with the “investor” and “national strategic projects” tracks.
### 3.1 Baseline Golden Visa investor tiers (non‑IKN)
Below is a **simplified illustration** of how the standard investor tiers are structured. **Exact numbers are omitted here because they move and are not summarised in a single article of the regulation; always cross-check with the original Permenkumham plus current BKPM/OIKN guidance.**
- Regulation base
- Permenkumham 22/2023 as amended by 11/2024 (effective 2023–2024)
- Investor – 5-year stay
- Minimum investment in Indonesian company or financial instrument; thresholds set by sectoral rules and BKPM/OIKN approvals [VERIFY for current IDR/USD amounts].
- Investor – 10-year stay
- Higher minimum investment than 5‑year tier, plus additional requirements (business plan, job creation, etc.) [VERIFY current amounts].
- Top‑level executives / C‑suite
- Linked to qualifying companies meeting the investment criteria; applicant’s role is decisive.
- National Strategic Projects (PSN)
- Projects designated by Presidential regulation as PSN; flexible but must align with project terms and approvals.
- Government bonds route
- Non‑IKN route based on purchase of specific Indonesian government securities, with defined holding period [VERIFY current minimums and bond series].
The **Nusantara Golden Visa** can be seen as a **sub‑set** of the investor and PSN tracks: if your investment is in Ibu Kota Nusantara and approved as contributing to the IKN development plan, you may qualify under **more favourable thresholds or conditions than a similar project outside IKN**, once these are fully codified.
### 3.2 How “reduced thresholds” for IKN are structured
From public policy statements and draft OIKN materials (as of 15 June 2026):
1. **Location-specific** – the project must be within the IKN area or clearly supporting IKN infrastructure/ecosystem.
2. **Sector-prioritised** – lower thresholds tend to apply to:
– sustainable/green infrastructure,
– digital infrastructure and data centres,
– health and education,
– R&D, innovation and government services tech.
3. **Project-validated** – OIKN and the investment authority (BKPM / Ministry of Investment) vet the business plan; immigration then processes the Golden Visa application after investment approval.
4. **Tiered by duration** – 10-year ITAS equivalents will still require **higher economic contribution** than 5‑year, even under IKN‑reduced thresholds.
Because these details are not consolidated in a single published IKN golden visa thresholds table, the practical step today is **project-first**:
– You prepare an IKN project concept and capital plan.
– It is evaluated by OIKN and the investment authority.
– Only then is the relevant “tier” (and whether you can access a lower IKN-specific minimum) confirmed.
Any **fixed figure** you see online specific to “IKN Golden Visa – USD X for 5 years / USD Y for 10 years” without a Permenkumham or OIKN circular reference should be treated as **[VERIFY]**.

## 5. Costs: official fees vs real-world total
### 5.1 Official government fees
Under **PMK 82/2023**, immigration fees for Golden Visa processing are capped and denominated in rupiah. Key components typically include:
– Visa approval fee (persetujuan visa).
– Visa sticker / e‑visa issuance.
– Limited stay permit (ITAS) issuance.
– Re‑entry permit (normally bundled for Golden Visa durations).
Because PMK 82/2023 lists detailed line items and can be amended, you should treat **any fixed IDR total you see online as indicative only** and re-check against the latest PMK and Immigration fee schedule.
### 5.2 Professional and project costs (non‑government)
For an IKN Nusantara Golden Visa, the **main cost driver is the project itself**, not the visa fee:
– Capital injection / equity or debt contribution.
– Land and construction where relevant (subject to foreign ownership rules).
– Project licensing and environmental approvals.
– OIKN and local government obligations (e.g. infrastructure contributions, utilities).
Professional fees for:
– Legal and tax structuring.
– Immigration handling.
– Company and licensing setup in IKN.
are usually quoted as **ranges**. As a broad market reference **[last verified June 2026]**, full‑service residency‑by‑investment execution packages in Indonesia for complex investor or project-based routes (including non‑IKN) often range **from mid‑four figures to low‑five figures in USD equivalent**, excluding the investment itself. For IKN projects with substantial capital expenditure, advisory fees may be higher due to planning complexity.
We do not publish one-size-fits-all prices, because **Permenkumham and PMK set only the government fee floor; the rest is commercial negotiation.**

## 6. Eligibility: who can realistically use the Nusantara Golden Visa?
Golden Visa eligibility for IKN follows the general Golden Visa requirements, plus extra filters:
### 6.1 General personal requirements
Under Permenkumham 22/2023 / 11/2024 and standard visa rules, applicants must:
– Hold a valid passport with sufficient remaining validity.
– Pass **security and public order checks** (no serious criminal record, not on Indonesian or partner-country blacklists).
– Demonstrate **financial capacity** consistent with the investment and living costs.
– Carry **health insurance** that covers Indonesia for the duration of stay.
– Comply with **health and quarantine** rules in force at the time of entry.
These are interpreted by Indonesian missions and the Directorate General of Immigration and are not unique to IKN.
### 6.2 Investment and project requirements specific to IKN
For IKN-linked Golden Visa cases, additional requirements include:
– **IKN-aligned business plan** – clearly shows:
– how the project contributes to IKN’s masterplan (e.g. green city, smart government, digital hub),
– projected capital deployment and timeline,
– job creation and local capacity building.
– **Project approval** – endorsement or approval from:
– Otorita IKN (OIKN), and
– Ministry of Investment/BKPM or relevant technical ministry,
confirming that the project qualifies under IKN incentive schemes or as a strategic project.
– **Minimum capital thresholds** – must meet or exceed the relevant IKN‑specific investment threshold for your sector and duration (5 vs 10 years). These thresholds:
– are lower than generic national Golden Visa thresholds in some cases,
– but **still substantial**; this is not a small‑scale property purchase program.
Again, exact numbers are **[VERIFY]** and must be taken from current OIKN and investment authority documents for your sector.
### 6.3 Individual vs corporate applicants
For the Nusantara Golden Visa, there are two main patterns:
1. **Direct investor** – an individual injecting capital into an IKN‑approved project or company and applying in their own name.
2. **Key personnel / C‑suite** – top management of a qualifying IKN project company applying for a Golden Visa based on their strategic role, with the company’s investment meeting the thresholds.
Regulations allow both patterns; in practice, expect more scrutiny on corporate structure, governance, and role descriptions for C‑suite applicants.

## 7. Application process: step-by-step view
Exact steps can vary based on project type and entry point (onshore vs offshore processing). Broadly, an IKN Nusantara Golden Visa case runs along these lines:
### 7.1 Project and investment approval
1. **Concept and pre‑screening**
– Prepare project concept note and basic financial model.
– Informal dialogue with **OIKN** and/or Ministry of Investment/BKPM to check fit with IKN priorities and available land/zoning.
2. **Formal investment application**
– Submit detailed application through the investment system (OSS and BKPM channels where applicable).
– Attach documentation: company structure, beneficial owners, financing sources, technical studies for infrastructure projects.
3. **IKN endorsement**
– OIKN assesses alignment with IKN masterplan, environmental standards, and utility/infrastructure integration.
– If positive, OIKN issues some form of approval or recommendation [exact document type depends on project class].
4. **Investment realisation plan**
– Capital injection schedule and milestones agreed.
– For some sectors, a portion of the investment may need to be **actually placed** (e.g. capitalised in the Indonesian entity) before immigration processing; in others, a binding commitment plus guarantees may suffice. This is project‑specific.
### 7.2 Golden Visa immigration process
Once the project is validated:
1. **Golden Visa eligibility confirmation**
– Ministry of Investment/BKPM and/or OIKN issue supporting letters indicating that:
– the applicant (individual or key executive) is attached to a qualifying IKN project,
– the investment meets Golden Visa criteria including the reduced IKN thresholds where applicable.
– These are used by Immigration as supporting evidence.
2. **Visa approval application (persetujuan visa)**
– Filed electronically to the **Directorate General of Immigration**.
– Includes:
– personal documents (passport, photos, CV),
– health insurance proof,
– proof of ability to support living expenses,
– project approval documents and investment evidence,
– recommendation/endorsement letters from investment authorities and OIKN.
3. **Background and security checks**
– Immigration runs checks with internal systems and possibly partner agencies.
– Additional clarification or documentation may be requested.
4. **Payment of immigration fees**
– Once approved, official fees under **PMK 82/2023** are paid.
– E‑visa is issued specifying Golden Visa category and duration (5 or 10 years).
5. **Entry and permit activation**
– Applicant enters Indonesia using the e‑visa within its validity period.
– At or after arrival (depending on processing pathway), the **Limited Stay Permit (ITAS)** is issued/activated, often in electronic form.
6. **Post‑arrival compliance**
– Civil registration where required (Dukcapil / domicile reporting).
– Maintenance of investment milestones per approved plan.
– Periodic reporting to OIKN and investment authorities may be required for project monitoring.
Nothing in the Golden Visa regulations guarantees approval, even if the investment is nominally sufficient. Discretion sits with the authorities at multiple points.

## 8. Tax: what the Nusantara Golden Visa does — and does not — change
The IKN Nusantara Golden Visa is an **immigration status**, not a tax regime. Your tax position depends primarily on **where you are tax resident** and where your income and assets are located.
### 8.1 Tax residency
Under Indonesian tax law:
– You become an **Indonesian tax resident** if:
– you are physically present in Indonesia for **more than 183 days in any 12‑month period**, or
– you reside in Indonesia and intend to stay (centre of vital interests).
The Golden Visa’s 5‑ or 10‑year stay right makes it **easier** to become a tax resident (because you can stay longer easily), but **does not automatically make you one** if your days and circumstances remain below the residency thresholds.
### 8.2 Taxation scope
If you become an Indonesian tax resident:
– You are generally taxed on **worldwide income**, subject to relief under any applicable tax treaties.
– Indonesia has **separate regimes** and transitional incentives in some sectors, but there is no standalone “Golden Visa tax holiday” published in the same way as, say, certain non‑dom regimes in other countries.
For IKN specifically:
– Policy discussions mention **tax incentives** for IKN investors (e.g. reduced corporate tax, import duty facilities, VAT relief on certain capital goods).
– These are governed by **tax and investment regulations**, not the Golden Visa rules.
– Implementation is still evolving; always ask a licensed Indonesian tax advisor to reconcile:
– corporate tax on your IKN project,
– personal tax on your income and gains, and
– international tax treaty positions.
### 8.3 Practical tension: long stays vs tax exposure
For many investors, the attraction of the Nusantara Golden Visa is the ability to base themselves in IKN or commute through it frequently. This can quickly cross the **183‑day** threshold.
If you intend to **spend significant time in Indonesia**, especially as an executive in an IKN project company:
– Plan for **full tax residency consequences**.
– Ensure payroll, benefits and director fees are documented and reported correctly in Indonesia.
– Clarify the treatment of:
– foreign dividends,
– capital gains on offshore assets,
– passive income such as interest and royalties.
Golden Visa or not, **tax law applies the same residency and sourcing rules**.

## FAQs
Is there a separate “IKN Nusantara Golden Visa” category code on the visa sticker?
No. The IKN Nusantara Golden Visa uses the same underlying Golden Visa categories created by Permenkumham 22/2023 and 11/2024. The IKN element sits in the investment approval and supporting documents, not a unique visa code.
Have the IKN golden visa thresholds definitely been reduced compared to non-IKN investments?
Policymakers have publicly stated their intention to apply lower capital thresholds and more flexible requirements for IKN-linked projects than for similar projects elsewhere in Indonesia. However, precise numbers are still scattered across sectoral and OIKN documents and not consolidated in a single regulation, so each case must be verified against current written rules.
Can I qualify for an IKN Nusantara Golden Visa by buying an apartment or house in the new capital?
There is no published regulation that treats simple residential property purchase alone as a qualifying IKN Golden Visa investment. Current policy focuses on productive investment in projects and businesses that support IKN’s development, not passive individual property ownership.
Does the Nusantara Golden Visa give me a fast track to Indonesian citizenship?
No. The Golden Visa provides a 5- or 10-year limited stay permit with possible renewals. Indonesian citizenship is governed by separate nationality laws and remains a discretionary, multi-step process without an automatic path from any Golden Visa category.
Can my family join me under the IKN Nusantara Golden Visa?
Yes, family members such as spouse and dependent children can generally be sponsored under family stay permits linked to your Golden Visa, subject to normal immigration rules. They do not need to make separate investments but must still meet documentation and security requirements.
