Indonesia 5 year golden visa requirements are the capital, company and role conditions you must meet to qualify for a 5‑year limited stay permit under Indonesia’s “Golden Visa” framework. This page breaks down every 5 year golden visa criteria Indonesia has published in Permenkumham 22/2023 (and 11/2024) and PMK 82/2023, date‑stamped and source‑cited.
What is Indonesia’s 5‑Year Golden Visa?
Indonesia’s “Golden Visa” is not a separate visa class in the Immigration Law; it is a policy name used by the Directorate General of Immigration for long‑term limited stay permits (ITAS) issued to foreign investors, directors/commissioners, and “world‑class” talents who meet elevated investment or contribution thresholds.
For individuals, the 5‑year Golden Visa is generally the **first tier** in a two‑step ladder:
– 5‑year ITAS (limited stay permit) if you meet the base investment or role threshold
– 10‑year ITAS if you meet the higher threshold
All of this sits on top of existing stay‑permit types; the “Golden Visa” label mostly affects:
– Required minimum investment / capital
– Eligible roles (business owners vs. directors vs. talent)
– **Length of ITAS** (up to 5 or 10 years, single issuance)
– Certain facilitation benefits (e.g., longer stay without repetitive extensions)
Everything below is grounded in:
– **Permenkumham 22/2023** on Immigration Stay Permits, as amended by **Permenkumham 11/2024**
– **PMK 82/2023** on non‑tax state revenue (PNBP) from immigration services
– Directorate General of Immigration public releases up to **June 2026**
Where recent changes or practice are still shifting, they are flagged [VERIFY].
5‑Year Golden Visa Tiers at a Glance
This table summarises the main 5‑year tiers most individual applicants ask about. Amounts are **minimum investment / capital thresholds**, not total cost of ownership.
| Category | Sub‑type | 5‑Year Threshold (as of 1 June 2026) |
Main Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual investor (through Indonesian company) |
Shareholder / owner | USD 2,500,000 investment in Indonesian company Permenkumham 22/2023 jo. 11/2024 |
Permenkumham 22/2023 Annex (Golden Visa table), amended 11/2024 |
| Individual investor (personal government securities) |
Direct investment in Indonesian government bonds / instruments | USD 350,000 in eligible instruments [VERIFY product list] | Permenkumham 22/2023 Annex; DG Immigration press releases |
| Company‑backed executive | Director / Commissioner / C‑level of foreign company investing in Indonesia | Foreign company minimum investment USD 25,000,000 (for 5‑year ITAS linked to executives) | Permenkumham 22/2023 Annex Corporate Investor Track |
| World‑class talent | Digital, health, R&D, sports, etc. | Criteria are non‑capital: track record, achievements, and endorsements; case‑by‑case [VERIFY latest implementing circular] | Permenkumham 22/2023 special talent provisions; DG Immigration criteria |
These are not all possible tracks (there are sub‑categories, e.g., for founders vs. passive investors), but they are the core **5‑year Golden Visa** routes that most private clients consider.
If you need to sanity‑check which bucket your profile fits — investor, executive, or talent — you can plan your trip with us over WhatsApp; we keep the tier mapping current by regulation number and date.
Definition: What Counts as Meeting the 5‑Year Requirements?
For **investor‑based** 5‑year Golden Visas, the Directorate General of Immigration reads “meeting the requirement” through three lenses:
1. **Form of capital / investment**
– Equity in an Indonesian limited liability company (PT PMA)
– Purchase of eligible Indonesian government securities (e.g., SBN, possibly SBSN, subject to list [VERIFY])
2. **Minimum nominal value**
– For company‑based individual investors: USD 2,500,000 into a PT PMA
– For direct securities investors: USD 350,000 into qualifying instruments
3. **Evidence and control**
– Proof of transfer of funds from abroad
– Corporate and banking documents linking the investor to the capital
– Clear separation between investment capital and operating funds, where required
For **company‑backed executives**, “meeting the requirement” usually means:
– The **foreign parent company** has invested at least USD 25,000,000 in Indonesia (for 5‑year)
– The executive is formally appointed as Director/Commissioner or senior manager in the Indonesian entity
– The executive holds a position aligned with the RPTKA (Manpower foreign worker plan) where applicable
For **world‑class talent**, the law sets a category but not a simple dollar number; criteria are fleshed out through internal guidelines and circulars, which as of June 2026 remain partially non‑public. At Golden Visa Indonesia we therefore:
– Use only thresholds explicitly published in regulations or official press material
– Flag everything else as [VERIFY] and avoid quoting “rumoured” achievement lists or salary thresholds
Indonesia 5‑Year Golden Visa Requirements by Track
1. Individual Investor via Indonesian Company (PT PMA)
This is the “classic” track for entrepreneurs and capital investors.
Key 5‑year thresholds (as of 1 June 2026):
- Minimum investment
- USD 2,500,000 into an Indonesian PT PMA in which you are a shareholder
- Role
- Shareholder; may also be Director/Commissioner, but the stay is justified by investment
- Legal basis
- Permenkumham 22/2023 Golden Visa annex; updated amounts in Permenkumham 11/2024
- Investment form
- Paid‑in capital or equity‑like funding recorded in the company’s deed and OSS/KBLI filings
Evidence Immigration will look for:
– Deed of establishment and latest deed of amendment of the PT PMA
– OSS (Online Single Submission) licences and NIB showing foreign shareholding
– Bank statements and SWIFT messages evidencing inbound foreign capital
– Company’s shareholder registry matching your name and passport
– Tax ID (NPWP) for the company and, at later stages, for you as an individual
2. Individual Investor via Government Securities
This track is designed for those who prefer not to manage a company in Indonesia.
Key 5‑year thresholds (as of 1 June 2026):
- Minimum investment
- USD 350,000 in eligible Indonesian government securities [VERIFY product list and ISINs]
- Holding period
- Minimum holding period aligned with visa validity; early sale can jeopardise stay permit
- Legal basis
- Permenkumham 22/2023 Golden Visa annex; DG Immigration & Ministry of Finance releases
Evidence:
– Proof of purchase from licensed bank or securities company in Indonesia
– Statement of holdings showing aggregate nominal and maturity
– Confirmation that instruments are on the list recognised for Golden Visa purposes [VERIFY with current circular]
This track is particularly sensitive to **product‑level changes** — as tranches mature and new bonds are issued, the “eligible” list can change. We therefore timestamp every product reference and re‑check against the latest Ministry of Finance and Immigration guidance before any application.
3. Corporate Investment – Executives & Commissioners
Here the **investor** is a foreign company; the applicant is its senior employee.
Key 5‑year thresholds (as of 1 June 2026):
- Corporate investment
- Minimum USD 25,000,000 foreign investment in Indonesia
- Applicant role
- Director, Commissioner, or specified senior executive in the Indonesian entity
- Legal basis
- Permenkumham 22/2023 corporate investor category, with threshold bands in the annex
Evidence:
– Group structure chart showing link between foreign parent and Indonesian PT PMA
– BKPM/OSS registration showing committed investment amount
– Financial evidence of capital injection or assets in Indonesia
– Official company decision appointing the applicant as Director/Commissioner
– RPTKA and IMTA/Notification from Ministry of Manpower, where required
4. World‑Class Talent 5‑Year Golden Visa
The talent track is conceptually attractive, but operationally nuanced.
– It targets high‑profile individuals in digital, research, health, sports, and creative fields.
– Criteria are **qualitative**: international awards, leadership in major tech firms, top world rankings, etc.
– As of June 2026, only **headline examples** have been publicised (e.g., select foreign founders and athletes); the full checklist isn’t codified in a single open regulation.
For this reason, we treat talent‑track 5‑year criteria as **interpretive** and highly subject to discretionary assessment by Immigration and line ministries. If you see fixed “talent visa” numbers or promises elsewhere, treat them as marketing, not law.
Costs Linked to a 5‑Year Golden Visa
The **investment thresholds above are not the only costs**. PMK 82/2023 sets the state fees (PNBP) for visa and stay‑permit issuance. On top of that, you should expect:
– Professional fees (legal, notary, tax, local sponsor services)
– Company operating costs, if you choose the PT PMA track
– Potential bond or guarantee deposits in specific categories [VERIFY current practice]
Because professional fees are set by private providers, we only quote **ranges**, last verified June 2026:
- Government fees – visa & ITAS issuance
- Set in IDR under PMK 82/2023; typically in the low‑to‑mid single‑thousands USD equivalent for multi‑year issuance, depending on category and exchange rate
- Company formation & licensing (PT PMA)
- Roughly USD 3,000 – 8,000 professional and official costs combined, depending on sector, region and complexity [last verified June 2026]
- Ongoing corporate compliance
- Bookkeeping, tax filings, reporting: USD 2,000 – 10,000 per year for a simple holding / service company [last verified June 2026]
We do not publish a “one number fits all” total, because:
– Exchange rates move
– Sectoral licences can change fees
– Some applicants use multi‑service providers bundling costs differently
For a line‑item breakdown calibrated to your track (company vs. bonds vs. corporate executive), reach out via plan your trip; we can walk through ranges over WhatsApp before you commit to any structure.
Eligibility Beyond Capital: Who Can (and Cannot) Qualify?
Capital is necessary, not sufficient. Immigration also checks:
1. Personal Eligibility
You must:
– Hold a valid passport (usually with ≥ 6–12 months validity beyond intended stay)
– Have no record of deportation or immigration blacklist in Indonesia
– Be free of serious criminal convictions that would trigger refusal under Immigration Law 6/2011
– Pass basic security and background screening, including INTERPOL hits where applicable
– Demonstrate the origin of funds if questioned (to satisfy AML concerns)
2. Investment Suitability
For the PT PMA track:
– Your company’s **KBLI** (business classification) must be open to foreign investment under the latest **Positive Investment List**
– Minimum paid‑up capital and investment plan must align with BKPM/OSS norms (separate from Golden Visa thresholds)
– The business should be reasonably coherent (a “shell” with no activity can be challenged, especially during renewals or checks)
For the government securities track:
– Funds must be legally sourced and transferred via licensed financial institutions
– You must comply with any **holding period** and **product eligibility** rules tied to your visa
3. Tax and Residence Alignment
Indonesia’s Golden Visa is not formally a tax‑residency product, but tax authorities will look at:
– Your **days of presence** in Indonesia (≥183 days in 12 months or intention to reside)
– Whether you develop a **vital centre of interests** in Indonesia (family, economic activity)
– Your declaration status under Indonesian income tax rules
You can, in theory, hold a 5‑year Golden Visa and remain non‑resident for Indonesian tax if you keep presence and ties below thresholds. But if you live largely in Indonesia, you are likely to be treated as tax resident regardless of visa label.
We do not give tax advice. Our role is:
– To map out where immigration and tax frameworks intersect
– To refer you to vetted Indonesian tax professionals if you request it
Our independence policy: **no one can pay to change what we publish; if you proceed with our partner they may pay us a referral fee at no extra cost to you.**
Application Process for a 5‑Year Golden Visa
The steps below summarise practice as of June 2026 and may vary slightly by track and consulate [VERIFY local consular procedures].
Step 1 – Structuring & Eligibility Check
– Decide on track: PT PMA, government securities, corporate executive, or talent
– Confirm that you can meet the minimum capital thresholds and supporting documentary requirements
– For PT PMA: map out your KBLI and positive list status; for bonds: confirm eligible instruments with a local bank and current Immigration guidance
Step 2 – Investment Setup
– Open Indonesian bank / custodial accounts as needed
– Incorporate PT PMA and obtain OSS licences (if company route)
– Transfer funds and complete capitalisation or securities purchase
– Collect official evidence: bank slips, notarial deeds, bond certificates/statements
Step 3 – Online Golden Visa Application
Indonesia uses an online system managed by the Directorate General of Immigration. You or your authorised representative will:
– Create an account and select the appropriate Golden Visa category
– Upload passport, photo, criminal record certificate (if requested), and investment documents
– Pay the applicable **visa fee** under PMK 82/2023, in IDR (or equivalent via bank)
Processing times can vary; in early practice they have ranged from a couple of weeks to longer, depending on completeness and background checks.
Step 4 – Visa Issuance & Entry
Upon approval, Immigration issues an **e‑Visa authorisation**. You then:
– Enter Indonesia within its validity window
– At entry, your visa activates and you proceed to obtain the physical or e‑ITAS (limited stay permit) and associated documents (including MERP – multiple exit re‑entry permit – where applicable)
Step 5 – During the 5 Years
Your ongoing obligations generally include:
– Maintaining the underlying investment (holding period, minimum capital)
– Complying with Indonesian laws, including tax, labour (for executives), and reporting
– Updating Immigration on address changes and renewing passports while in Indonesia
The **5‑year ITAS** is designed not to require annual extensions like traditional 1‑year ITAS, but Immigration retains the right to revoke if the basis (investment or role) collapses or if serious violations occur. No consultant can guarantee approval or non‑revocation.
Tax Considerations for 5‑Year Golden Visa Holders
Tax Residence
Under Indonesia’s Income Tax Law and practice:
– You are generally Indonesian tax resident if you spend **≥183 days** in Indonesia in any 12‑month period, or
– You intend to reside in Indonesia (seen through residential ties and permits)
A 5‑year Golden Visa does not automatically make you tax resident, but it is a strong **indicator of intention** if you actually live here. The tax office will overlay facts on top of your immigration status.
Tax on Investment Structures
– **PT PMA investors** face corporate income tax at the PT PMA level, then dividend withholding tax and possible treaty relief on outbound dividends
– **Government securities investors** are taxed according to the coupon/interest and capital gains rules for the specific instruments (often via final withholding tax)
PMK 82/2023 is about immigration fees, not income tax. For substantive tax planning (including double‑tax treaty outcomes, CFC and anti‑avoidance considerations), engage an Indonesian tax adviser who can work with your home‑country adviser. We can connect you to vetted firms if requested.
How Indonesia’s 5‑Year Golden Visa Differs From the 10‑Year
Many investors ask whether to aim straight for the 10‑year tier. In short:
– The **10‑year ITAS** generally requires **double** the investment thresholds listed above (e.g., USD 5,000,000 in a company, higher corporate investment levels, or larger securities purchases)
– The process and conditions are structurally similar; the main differences are investment magnitude and stay duration
– Some applicants begin at the 5‑year level and later restructure to reach 10‑year thresholds; there is no automatic “upgrade” without meeting the higher criteria
Golden Visa Indonesia keeps a separate, detail‑heavy breakdown for 10‑year bands; if you want a side‑by‑side with your actual capital envelope, you can plan your trip with us by WhatsApp and we will map your options without promising outcomes.
Why Golden Visa Indonesia Tracks Every Threshold
Our editorial rule is simple:
– Every number on this page is **traceable** to a regulation, official release, or a clearly labelled market‑price range
– Every threshold is **date‑stamped** (here: verified to **1 June 2026**)
– Where policy is moving or not fully codified, we mark [VERIFY] and avoid treating practice as law
This matters because:
– Immigration and finance authorities have adjusted Golden Visa criteria at least once since launch (e.g., via Permenkumham 11/2024)
– Providers that quote fixed “lifetime” packages or one‑size‑fits‑all numbers often rely on outdated or incomplete readings
– You ultimately bear the risk of mis‑structuring an investment that does not meet current criteria
Our role is to be your **source of record** on Indonesia’s Golden Visa policy—information, not advice. Execution, tax planning, and structure design should be done by licensed professionals, which we can introduce but never control.
Is the 5‑year Golden Visa permanent residency?
No. The 5‑year Golden Visa is a long‑term limited stay permit (ITAS), not permanent residency (ITAP). It can offer a path toward longer stays and, in some cases, eventual ITAP, but it is not itself permanent status and can be revoked if conditions are no longer met.
Can I include my family in a 5‑year Golden Visa?
Yes, in most investor and executive tracks, eligible dependants (spouse and children meeting age and status rules) can obtain dependent ITAS linked to your main 5‑year permit. They do not need to meet the investment thresholds themselves but depend on your continued eligibility.
Can I work or run a business on a 5‑year Golden Visa?
On the PT PMA track, you may act in the roles authorised by your company documents and, if applicable, your manpower approvals (RPTKA/IMTA). Work outside the scope of your approved role is not automatically allowed. On the securities track, you are usually treated as an investor, not as an employee or active entrepreneur.
What happens if my investment value drops?
If market value drops but your nominal capital or bond holdings remain above the required threshold, your status is usually unaffected. If you withdraw or reduce below minimum levels, Immigration can reassess and potentially revoke your permit. Always treat thresholds as floors to maintain, not one‑time checkboxes.
How fast can I get a 5‑year Golden Visa?
The critical path is usually establishing the investment (company setup or securities purchase). Once the structure is in place and documents are complete, processing has ranged from a few weeks to longer, depending on background checks and workload. No provider can honestly guarantee a fixed number of days.
