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.

Indonesia golden visa residency by investment is a long-term stay permit granted to foreign investors who meet specific investment thresholds and immigration criteria set in Indonesian law. It combines a 5- or 10‑year limited stay permit (ITAS) with a multiple re‑entry permit and certain facilitation benefits for qualifying investors, executives, and high-talent individuals.
This page is a numbers-first explainer of residency by investment Indonesia based on the regulations that create it, not on marketing claims.

## What Indonesia’s Golden Visa Is (and Is Not)
Indonesia’s “Golden Visa” is a label used by the Directorate General of Immigration (Ditjen Imigrasi) for new residency-by-investment and talent routes introduced in:
– **Permenkumham 22/2023** – Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation on Visas and Stay Permits
– **Permenkumham 11/2024** – Amendment to 22/2023 (refines some categories and conditions)
– **PMK 82/2023** – Ministry of Finance regulation on immigration guarantee funds (jaminan keimigrasian) for golden visa holders
These rules create new visa and ITAS categories tied to:
– Direct investment in Indonesia (company equity / capital placement)
– Placement of funds in Indonesian government instruments or banks
– Strategic non-investment criteria (e.g., founders of global companies, high-skill talent)
It is **not**:
– A citizenship-by-investment program
– A shortcut to a KITAP (permanent stay permit) – although long stay can help later
– A tax holiday in itself (tax rules are separate – see tax section below)
Permenkumham 22/2023 and 11/2024 are the sources of truth for **who qualifies** and **what kind of stay permit** you get. PMK 82/2023 defines **how much guarantee money** must be placed with the state for different golden visa bands.
All thresholds in this article are **last checked against the regulations and official releases: 15 June 2026**. If a number is from practice or market quotes instead of a written rule, it is marked **[VERIFY]**.

## Core Tiers of Indonesia’s Golden Visa
For investment residency Indonesia, think in two big blocks:
1. **Corporate / entrepreneur routes** – you invest in or through an Indonesian entity or in Indonesian financial instruments
2. **Individual talent / special contribution routes** – you qualify on reputation, skills, or strategic value, often without large direct capital placement
The exact classification language in Permenkumham can be dense. This table distills the **investment-linked golden visa bands** that are consistently cited in Ditjen Imigrasi publications and aligned with PMK 82/2023.
### Golden Visa Investment Bands (High-Level)
| Route | Stay Length | Indicative Capital / Funds Requirement* | Regulation Backbone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual investor – 5‑year | Up to 5 years ITAS | ≈ USD 350,000 in Indonesian instruments or company capital [VERIFY] | Permenkumham 22/2023 + PMK 82/2023 |
| Individual investor – 10‑year | Up to 10 years ITAS | ≈ USD 700,000 in Indonesian instruments or company capital [VERIFY] | Permenkumham 22/2023 + PMK 82/2023 |
| Corporate investment (founder/shareholder) – 5‑year | Up to 5 years ITAS | ≈ USD 2,500,000 company paid‑in capital [VERIFY] | Permenkumham 22/2023 + PMK 82/2023 |
| Corporate investment (founder/shareholder) – 10‑year | Up to 10 years ITAS | ≈ USD 5,000,000 company paid‑in capital [VERIFY] | Permenkumham 22/2023 + PMK 82/2023 |
| Executives of qualifying companies | Up to 5 or 10 years ITAS | Company must meet higher aggregate investment thresholds; individual does not invest personally [VERIFY] | Permenkumham 22/2023 as amended 11/2024 |
| Non-investment “special contribution” candidates | Up to 5 or 10 years ITAS | No fixed statutory number; evaluated case by case | Permenkumham 22/2023, strategic/talent articles |
*The USD figures above are **rounded and referenced from Ditjen Imigrasi public materials and PMK 82/2023 bands**. The regulations themselves usually state amounts in rupiah and as guarantee fund brackets (e.g., IDR X for 5‑year vs IDR Y for 10‑year). For a live rupiah figure and current policy practice, we always check the latest implementing circulars and Ditjen Imigrasi announcements – thresholds can be adjusted by ministerial decision.
If you need a line‑by‑line reading of the rupiah amounts applicable to your situation, use plan your trip and request a clause‑by‑clause breakdown; we handle that via WhatsApp or email for paid research clients.

## What You Get: Rights and Limitations
Across the tiers, the Golden Visa gives you variations of the same three building blocks:
– **Visa approval (persetujuan visa)** – the offshore pre‑approval before your consular visa sticker or e‑visa is issued
– **Limited stay visa (Vitas)** – the entry document that “activates” a stay permit on arrival
– **Limited stay permit (ITAS)** – the actual residency permission, now issued electronically (e‑ITAS) and linked to a residence card
Key features shared by golden visa ITAS categories:
– **Multi‑year validity from the start**:
– 5‑year bands: initial grant up to 5 years
– 10‑year bands: initial grant up to 10 years
– **Multiple re‑entry**: You can leave and re‑enter freely within validity, subject to passport and immigration control.
– **Family sponsorship**: Eligible to sponsor spouse and children under dependent ITAS categories, but family members do **not** inherit the investor’s rights automatically (they get derivative stay, not investor status).
– **Obligation to maintain the underlying basis**:
– Investment must stay in place at or above thresholds
– Company must stay active, compliant, and in the same qualifying tier if your route is corporate
Critically:
– A golden visa **does not** override tax residency rules (see tax section).
– A golden visa **does not** guarantee conversion to permanent stay (KITAP). It can support an application, but KITAP has its own criteria under immigration law.

## Eligibility: Who Qualifies for Indonesia’s Golden Visa?
The detailed eligibility lists in Permenkumham 22/2023 and 11/2024 can be grouped into practical profiles.
### 1. Direct Individual Investors
You are:
– Investing as an individual (not via a foreign company as the principal entity), and
– Placing funds into one of the sanctioned channels, such as:
– Government bonds/notes issued in rupiah or foreign currency [VERIFY specific instruments]
– Time deposits in Indonesian banks [VERIFY permitted tenors/institutions]
– Capital participation in a new or existing Indonesian company within allowed sectors
You must:
– Meet the minimum capital or financial instrument thresholds for the desired stay length (5 vs 10 years)
– Provide proof of funds and source of funds
– Pass background/security checks (clear criminal record, not on immigration blacklists)
– Hold a passport with sufficient remaining validity (often at least 30 months for 5‑year ITAS and longer for 10‑year, based on practice [VERIFY])
### 2. Founders / Shareholders in Indonesian Companies
You are:
– A founder, shareholder, or ultimate beneficial owner of an Indonesian company with paid‑in capital and investment at or above the **corporate golden visa bands**, and
– Usually taking a commissioner, director, or similar high‑level role
The company must:
– Be incorporated and registered in Indonesia
– Meet minimum paid‑in capital and business plan requirements
– Operate in sectors open to foreign investment under the Positive Investment List (Daftar Positif Investasi) – some sectors are restricted or capped
This track is typically used for **foreign entrepreneurs building an Indonesian base** who want longer runway than the standard 1‑ or 2‑year investor ITAS.
### 3. Senior Executives of Qualifying Companies
You are:
– A C‑level or senior management executive of a company that itself meets higher **aggregate investment, revenue, or contribution benchmarks** set in policy [VERIFY concrete numeric thresholds – these are still being refined in practice], and
– Assigned to Indonesia in a strategic role
This route is designed to let large investors bring key people in on multi‑year permits without each executive personally placing large sums.
### 4. Special Contribution / Talent Categories
Permenkumham 22/2023 describes categories linked to:
– Global technology founders / unicorn leaders
– High-achieving researchers, innovators, or cultural figures
– Individuals with recognized strategic contributions to Indonesia’s development
These are **discretionary** and case‑based:
– No single public minimum investment number
– Usually require strong endorsements, track record, and often some form of economic or reputational contribution plan
This is the most opaque track in public documents. If anyone promises a fixed “pay X and get a golden visa as a talent”, treat that as a red flag. Our internal rule: we only work from written criteria plus real cases, and we flag the rest as **policy intent, not guaranteed practice**.
—
## Costs: Government, Guarantees, and Professional Fees
Costs break into **three layers**: official immigration fees, immigration guarantee funds, and professional / structuring costs.
### 1. Official Government Fees (Imigrasi)
Permenkumham gives the **visa and ITAS framework**; the actual fee amounts are set in the separate non‑tax revenue rules (PNBP). Those fee tables are not unique to the golden visa; they are the same classes (e‑visa issuance, ITAS, re‑entry).
As of **15 June 2026**, typical government charges per main applicant include [VERIFY every line against the latest PNBP table before acting]:
– Visa approval and issuance fee (persetujuan visa + e‑visa): **low hundreds of USD equivalent** [VERIFY]
– ITAS issuance for multi‑year stay: scales by validity; 5‑ and 10‑year permits carry higher but still “administrative level” fees vs the investment itself
– Re‑entry permit fee: bundled with golden visa classes in practice, but still recorded as separate PNBP categories
The **golden visa “premium”** is not primarily in admin fees; it is in the **required investment and guarantee fund**.
### 2. Immigration Guarantee Fund (Jaminan Keimigrasian) – PMK 82/2023
PMK 82/2023 sets **specific rupiah guarantee fund amounts** that must be placed for certain “golden visa” categories. This is a **refundable (under conditions) security deposit** held by the state Treasury, not an immigration fee.
PMK 82/2023:
– Organizes the guarantee into bands (e.g., 5‑year vs 10‑year, individual vs corporate)
– Links bands to the risk and potential state liability (e.g., deportation, repatriation costs)
Indicatively, the guarantee fund for a **5‑year individual investor** band vs a **10‑year corporate band** is **materially different**, often in the tens to low hundreds of thousands of US‑dollar equivalent [VERIFY exact rupiah amounts; they are spelled out article by article in PMK 82/2023 and can be updated via ministerial amendment].
Key points:
– The guarantee is typically **placed before visa issuance** and proves “skin in the game”.
– It may be **returned** if conditions are met (no violations, permit not revoked, compliance with investment plan) as regulated in PMK 82/2023.
– It is separate from your capital investment into a business or financial instrument.
### 3. Professional, Structuring, and Banking Costs
These are **market-based**, not regulated, and they vary by:
– Complexity of the structure (solo investor vs multi‑shareholder company, multiple family members, special sectors)
– Use of tax, legal, and corporate secretarial advisors
– Banking and transaction costs for moving funds into Indonesia, foreign exchange spreads, custody/administration fees for bonds or deposits
As of **last verified June 2026**, for straightforward cases, we see **professional fee ranges** for the full golden visa package (excluding the investment itself and government/guarantee deposits) in the **low- to mid‑five figures USD equivalent per main applicant and company structure** [VERIFY – these are market quotes, not statutory].
Because we work as an independent intelligence layer, we:
– Do not publish single-company prices
– Maintain a vetted list of legal, tax, and corporate services firms that actually read the regulations they apply
– Keep to one funding line: **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.**
If you want concrete line items for a specific structure (e.g., 10‑year corporate route with spouse + 2 kids) via a vetted law firm, you can plan your trip and request a WhatsApp estimate.

## Application Process: From Term Sheet to ITAS
The shape of the process is consistent across tiers; the content and scrutiny level differ.
### 1. Structure and Investment Decision
Before any application:
– Choose the **route**: individual investment, corporate founder, executive, or special contribution
– Define the **investment channel**: company equity, bonds, deposits, or mixed structure
– Map compliance: foreign investment rules (BKPM/OSS), sectoral regulations, and tax position
This step usually requires **corporate and tax advice**, not just immigration filing.
### 2. Pre‑Approval and Eligibility Dossier
Your Indonesia‑side representative (can be a company, law firm, or immigration service provider) prepares:
– Identity and civil docs (passport, CV, police clearance, marital status docs for dependents, etc.)
– Investment evidence:
– Proof of funds and source
– Draft or executed agreements for capital placement / bond purchase / deposit arrangements
– Company documents (for corporate route): deed, NIB, licenses, financials [if existing entity]
– Statements or endorsements for special-talent routes (if relevant)
The dossier is submitted to Ditjen Imigrasi for **visa approval (persetujuan visa)** under the relevant golden visa article in Permenkumham 22/2023 as amended by 11/2024.
### 3. Guarantee Fund Placement and Visa Issuance
After preliminary approval:
– You or your company arrange the **immigration guarantee fund** per PMK 82/2023 into the designated state account
– Proof of deposit is submitted as part of the final approval package
– Ditjen Imigrasi issues an **e‑visa** tied to the golden visa stay category
In some cases, investment funds (capital injection, bond subscription, deposit opening) also need to be **executed or at least irrevocably committed** before final issuance [VERIFY – practice differs by channel and officer].
### 4. Entry and ITAS Activation
On entry into Indonesia:
– Your Vitas is **converted automatically** into an ITAS in newer e‑visa practice, or
– You complete biometric and card issuance at the designated immigration office
You receive:
– e‑ITAS (electronic stay permit)
– Residence card (if applicable under the latest rollout phase)
Family members’ dependent ITAS are often processed in parallel, provided their documentation and sponsor links are clear.
### 5. Ongoing Compliance and Renewal
During your stay:
– Maintain the **investment** at or above the threshold and in the agreed channel
– Keep company filings, taxes, and licensing up‑to‑date if using a corporate route
– Report changes that affect your basis (divestment, role change, prolonged absence)
Renewal or extension:
– For 5‑year ITAS: you may apply to extend or move to a new category if policy allows at the time
– For 10‑year ITAS: nearer expiry, policy at that future date will determine options (renew, change status, or exit)
Permenkumham 11/2024 adds more structure to golden visa implementation; the exact renewal paths beyond 2028–2030 will depend on further regulations. We do not speculate beyond the written rules.

## Tax: How Golden Visa Interacts with Indonesian Tax Residency
Golden visa = immigration status. Tax residency = separate test under tax law (primarily **Income Tax Law** and implementing regulations).
### Tax Residency Basics
Under current Indonesian tax rules (last checked June 2026):
– You become an **Indonesian tax resident** if you:
– Stay in Indonesia for **more than 183 days in any 12‑month period**, or
– Are present in Indonesia and intend to reside here (often evidenced by permits, home, family)
Tax residency affects:
– Scope of taxation (worldwide vs Indonesian‑source income)
– Access to Double Tax Treaties (DTT) and foreign tax credits
– Reporting obligations (annual returns, possible asset reporting if thresholds met)
The **golden visa itself does not exempt you from becoming tax resident**. If you hold a 10‑year ITAS and spend most of the year here, you will almost certainly be treated as resident for tax.
### Special Regimes and Transitional Relief
Indonesia has been rolling out **transitional regimes for new foreign residents** and certain “important person” categories, but these are created through **tax regulations**, not through Permenkumham 22/2023.
– As of June 2026, various **HNW inbound** concepts are under discussion; some partial regimes have appeared in draft or pilot form. We treat them as **policy-in-motion [VERIFY]** unless anchored in a numbered and enacted tax regulation (PMK or PP).
– Consult a tax advisor who explicitly cites PMK and UU PPh articles, not just slides.
### Practical Implications for Golden Visa Holders
If you use the Indonesia golden visa residency by investment route:
– Plan your **physical presence** (days in Indonesia) deliberately
– Coordinate investment structures with **tax treatment** (e.g., interest, dividends, capital gains, CFC rules)
– Understand whether your home country has a **tax treaty** with Indonesia and how tie‑breaker rules might apply
Our house rule: we provide **regulation citations and scenario mapping** but do not give personal tax advice. A proper opinion requires your full global picture. We work with tax partners who can pick up from our regulatory map if you wish.

## How Indonesia Compares to Other Residency-by-Investment Programs
A few high-level contrasts (no value judgements, just structure):
– **Minimums**: Indonesia’s main golden visa thresholds (hundreds of thousands to millions USD equivalent) are at the **upper end** of the global investment residency market, closer to large EU programs than to “entry‑level” options.
– **Type of investment**: Emphasis on **productive capital, financial instruments, and corporate presence**, not on passive real estate acquisition. There is no canonical “buy an apartment and get a golden visa” route in the regulations.
– **Stay length**: Direct 5‑ or 10‑year ITAS is longer than many programs that start with 1–2 years.
– **Tax**: Indonesia is a **substantive tax jurisdiction** with real source and residency rules. This is not a pure tax‑neutral “second flag”; it is a major economy with corresponding obligations if you base yourself here.
For some investors, that trade‑off is attractive: real market access and long stay in exchange for real commitments. For others, a lower‑commitment jurisdiction may be more suitable.

## FAQs on Indonesia Golden Visa: Residency by Investment
Is the Indonesia Golden Visa guaranteed if I invest the minimum amount?
No. Meeting the investment minimum is a necessary condition, not a guarantee. Approval depends on full eligibility (background, documentation, source of funds, sector rules, security clearance). The regulations give Immigration discretion, and no reputable advisor will promise approval.
Can I include my family in my Indonesia Golden Visa application?
Yes, spouse and dependent children can usually obtain derivative ITAS linked to your golden visa status. They need their own documentation, but they do not need to meet separate investment thresholds. Their permits are tied to the validity and good standing of your main permit.
Do I have to live in Indonesia full time with a Golden Visa?
Immigration rules do not force you to spend a specific number of days per year, but prolonged absence may raise questions about the genuine use of your residency, especially at renewal. Separate from that, spending more than 183 days in Indonesia can make you a tax resident, with corresponding tax obligations.
Can my investment be in Indonesian real estate to get a Golden Visa?
There is no pure “buy property and get a golden visa” clause in Permenkumham 22/2023 or 11/2024. Some qualifying investments may involve companies that hold or develop property, but the investment basis is typically capital in a company or financial instrument, not a personal apartment purchase. Any advisor claiming a direct real-estate golden visa route should show you the article number.
What happens if I reduce or withdraw my investment during the Golden Visa period?
If your investment falls below the required threshold or you withdraw it contrary to the agreed plan, Immigration can revoke or decline to extend your permit, and your guarantee fund treatment may be affected under PMK 82/2023. The core principle is that your right to stay is conditional on maintaining the basis on which it was granted.
For a regulation-backed read of how these rules apply to your profile, you can plan your trip – we’ll map the relevant Permenkumham and PMK provisions and then, if you choose, hand off to a vetted legal or tax partner via WhatsApp for execution.
