Indonesia Golden Visa Cost 2026: All 12 Routes

Key takeaways

Twelve visa indices carry the Golden Visa badge, not two. Immigration's own Indonesian Visa List marks E28B, E28C, E28D, E28F, E28G, E32A, E32B, E33, E33A, E33B, E33C and E33E as Golden Visa. Most competing pages cover the five E28 investor indices and stop.

The cheapest Indonesia golden visa cost is US$25,000, not US$350,000. That is the E32A repatriation route for former Indonesian citizens. The E32B descendant route asks US$30,000 for five years or US$60,000 for ten, and both are badged Golden Visa on the official list.

Government fees are fixed in rupiah, so they have fallen in dollars. IDR 13,000,000 for a five-year permit and IDR 19,500,000 for ten years work out at US$727 and US$1,090 at Bank Indonesia's JISDOR rate of Rp17,890 on 8 October 2026. The US$798 and US$1,197 figures still circulating imply a rate near Rp16,290.

The US$350,000 route is a rounding error in the programme. Of the Rp 52.1 trillion the ministry reports to 18 May 2026, the individual capital-market category (E28C) accounts for Rp 179.4 billion — 0.34%. Corporate investors under E28D supplied 97.7%.

The retiree route needs no investment, only a deposit you still own. E33E asks for age 55 or over, a US$50,000 deposit in your own account at a state-owned bank, and evidence of US$3,000 a month in income. Nothing is donated and nothing is spent.

This guide prices every route from the Directorate General of Immigration's own index pages rather than from adviser summaries, converts each government fee at a dated central-bank rate, and sets the published thresholds against the ministry's own issuance figures. This site's renderer does not emit heading anchors, so the list below is a map rather than a set of jump links.

Indonesia golden visa cost in 2026: every route priced

The legal basis is Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights No. 22 of 2023 together with Regulation of the Minister of Finance No. 82 of 2023, both promulgated on 30 August 2023. The programme itself launched on 25 July 2024. Immigration does not run it as one visa with tiers; it runs it as a set of separately numbered indices, each with its own eligibility test, its own threshold and its own fee.

Here is the full badged set, taken index by index from the official pages. Every figure below is the minimum the relevant index page states.

Two things in that table are worth sitting with. The first is the spread: the same badge covers a US$25,000 bond purchase and a US$50,000,000 corporate commitment, a factor of two thousand. The second is that four of the twelve indices have no capital threshold at all — they are invitation routes, and no amount of money opens them.

The money also has to arrive on a clock. On the E28B company route the company must be established and the capital in place within 90 days, and the same 90-day deadline applies to the commitment statements on the other investor indices, counted from entry. A commitment statement is not a formality: it is the document the permit is granted against, and the index pages say the value must be maintained for as long as the stay permit is valid. If the shape of your file depends on someone else funding the placement, read our guide to source of funds in investment migration before you choose a route.

Note also what is not badged. E28A, the ordinary investor visa, is not a Golden Visa. Neither is E28E for special economic zones, E33D for distinguished entrepreneurs, E33F for one-year retirees or E33G for remote workers. The four Global Citizen of Indonesia indices (E32E to E32H) are a separate programme with its own badge on the same list, which is a distinction several guides collapse.

The government fees nobody converts

Each index page publishes its fee as a PNBP total with the components itemised underneath, and the itemisation is where the useful detail lives. The total is not uniform across the badge: the repatriation and descendant indices pay Visa Verification at IDR 1,000,000 while the investor and special-residency indices pay Verification II at IDR 2,000,000, so the five-year bill is IDR 12,000,000 on one and IDR 13,000,000 on the other.

We converted each at the Bank Indonesia JISDOR reference rate of Rp17,890 per US dollar for 8 October 2026. Quote a rupiah fee in dollars without saying which rate and which day you used and the number is already drifting.

Set against the investment, these are trivial — a four-figure cost on a six- or seven-figure placement. Set against the published guides, they are interesting for a different reason. The US$798 and US$1,197 figures that circulate for the five- and ten-year permits imply a rate of about Rp16,290 to the dollar. The rupiah has weakened since, and because the fee is denominated in rupiah, the dollar cost of an Indonesian golden visa has gone down while every published guide has left it unchanged. It is the rare case in this sector where the real number moved in the applicant's favour.

Three caveats before you budget from that table. The fees are non-refundable if the application is rejected, which the index pages state plainly. They are paid through a billing code the system issues after submission, at designated banks, so there is no card payment at the end of a form. And they cover the government's charge only — not the legal work, not the notary and company-establishment costs on the E28B route, not the audit documentation the corporate indices require, and not the cost of the investment itself. Our golden visa cost comparison separates recoverable investment from sunk fees across the programmes that publish both.

Indonesia golden visa cost for a retiree, former citizen or descendant

This is the half of the programme the market has not written up, and it is the half with the low numbers. Three of the badged indices are aimed at people rather than at capital, and the ministry's own category list names them in its press material: silver hair, repatriasi eks WNI and keturunan eks WNI — the retiree, former-citizen and descendant routes.

The E33E retiree route deserves a second look, because on the official page it is not an investment at all. The requirement is an Immigration Guarantee, satisfied by a statement of commitment to hold at least US$50,000 in the applicant's own account at a state-owned bank, reported to the issuing immigration office within 90 days of entry and maintained while the permit is valid. You have not bought anything and you have not given anything away. You have moved US$50,000 into an Indonesian bank and kept it there, and the real cost is the difference between what that money earns in Jakarta and what it would have earned at home.

The supporting documents are correspondingly light: a passport with six months' validity, evidence of the Immigration Guarantee, a three-month personal bank statement showing a balance of at least US$2,000, a recent photograph, a CV, a travel history and itinerary. No sponsor is required on E33E, E33, E32A or E32B — which is the quiet benefit of the whole badge, since an ordinary Indonesian stay permit normally needs a company or an individual to guarantee you.

One correction worth making, because it is repeated on at least one well-ranked page: the former-citizen figure is US$25,000 and the descendant figure is US$30,000, not the other way round, and the descendant route is the one that goes to US$60,000 for a ten-year permit. The two index pages state each amount four times over, once in the commitment list and once in the proof-of-ownership list for each duration. If you are weighing this against a cheaper programme elsewhere, our cheapest golden visa guide ranks the entry prices that are genuinely comparable.

What the US$350,000 route actually buys, and who uses it

E28C is the index behind every headline. You buy Indonesian government bonds, shares in publicly listed companies or mutual funds to a value of US$350,000 for five years or US$700,000 for ten, and from the ten-year tier there is an alternative: a condominium or apartment in Indonesia worth at least US$1,000,000. Note the shape of that property option — a strata-titled unit, at a million dollars, only on the ten-year tier. It is not a route into a villa, and standalone landed property is not what the index page describes.

What it buys is genuinely good: five or ten years of stay with no sponsor, family included, multiple entry and exit while the re-entry permit is valid, and — the detail returning applicants care about — no trip to an immigration office to convert the visa into a stay permit, because the ITAS and the re-entry permit are issued automatically at the border on arrival.

Then there is the question nobody asks. The Directorate General of Immigration published its own numbers on 21 May 2026: Rp 52.1 trillion of investment as at 18 May 2026, from 1,274 Golden Visas issued since launch. It broke the total down by index.

Rp 179.4 billion is about US$10.0 million at the 8 October 2026 rate. At the US$350,000 minimum that is on the order of thirty people across nearly two years — and the rupiah figures were booked at the rate of the day rather than today's, so read it as an order of magnitude rather than a headcount. The entire retail market that this keyword serves, and that every page competing for it is written for, is a few dozen applicants. The programme's Rp 52.1 trillion is a corporate story: 1,274 permits over 662 days, roughly 59 a month, with 97.7% of the capital arriving through E28D.

That is not an argument against the route. It is an argument for reading the uptake figures before you believe a page telling you Indonesia is competing for your US$350,000. The three largest holder nationalities the ministry names are the United States with 160, China with 147 and Taiwan with 110.

Nusantara: the threshold that was cut by 80%

E28F is the index for a branch or subsidiary established in Nusantara, the new capital city in East Kalimantan. It was created at the same US$25,000,000 and US$50,000,000 levels as the ordinary corporate indices. The official index page now states US$5,000,000 for five years and US$10,000,000 for ten — a reduction of 80%, reported as taking effect in January 2026.

This matters mainly as a warning about sources. A page that quotes US$25,000,000 for the Nusantara route is not describing a different interpretation; it is five times out of date, and you can settle it in one fetch of the E28F index page. We found secondary guides still carrying the old figure while linking to the page that contradicts them.

Two things to hold in mind before treating it as the cheap corporate door. The cut applies to a commitment to invest in a specific place, and reporting on it indicates eligibility is narrower than the number suggests, with the route aimed at investors affiliated with a defined list of international professional-services firms. We could not confirm that restriction from the index page itself, which states the threshold and the documentary requirements but not an affiliation test — so treat the eligibility narrowing as reported rather than as established, and ask immigration or counsel directly before committing to the route.

The government fee on E28F is the same as on every other investor index: IDR 13,000,000 for five years, IDR 19,500,000 for ten. The threshold moved by US$20,000,000 and the paperwork cost did not move at all, which is a fair summary of where the real money is in this programme.

What you must keep doing, and what the visa does not give you

A golden visa here is a stay permit, not a status you own outright. The obligations are light but they are continuing, and the first of them catches people.

Now the three things it does not do, because two of them change decisions.

It is not a passport, and Indonesia does not let you keep your old one. Naturalisation under Law No. 12 of 2006 requires five consecutive years of residence or ten years intermittently, and Article 9 requires an applicant to relinquish their existing nationality on acquiring Indonesian citizenship. Indonesia does not recognise dual citizenship for naturalised adults. So the end of this road is not a second passport in the sense this market usually means: it is a replacement passport, and approvals are discretionary and reportedly rare. If a second nationality is the actual objective, our citizenship by investment vs golden visa guide explains why a residence programme is the wrong instrument.

It is not a tax result. Holding the permit says nothing about where you are tax resident. Indonesia applies its own residence tests, and the country you are leaving applies its own; a permit in a drawer moves neither. Nothing in the index pages addresses tax at all, and any adviser who prices this route as a tax outcome is selling you something the regulation does not contain.

It is not an exemption from reporting. The permitted-activities lists are specific, and the prohibitions are too: no staying beyond the authorised period, no work outside what the permit allows, and on the special-residency indices no selling goods or services unless that is part of authorised employment. For the sequence an Indonesian application actually runs through, our citizenship by investment processing time guide sets published timelines against real ones across this sector.
