Golden visa and investor visas in Indonesia: what Immigration says.
Written by Nacho Jorrín, partner at Agmakina Group, building and managing villas in Uluwatu since 2019 · Reviewed 7 October 2026
There is a lot of confusion about visas because every page says something different. Here is only what the Directorate General of Immigration publishes.
Indonesia offers a 5 or 10-year golden visa in five categories, including individual investor (from USD 350,000 in government bonds, listed shares or deposits) and Second Home. Buying a leasehold villa does not grant a visa by itself.
The five categories
According to Immigration (imigrasi.go.id), the golden visa has five categories: individual investor, corporate investor, Second Home, Global Talent and World Figure. It is granted for five or ten years and can be extended.
Official amounts for investors
| Category | 5 years | 10 years |
|---|---|---|
| Individual investor setting up a company | $2,500,000 | $5,000,000 |
| Company representative setting up a company | $25,000,000 | $50,000,000 |
| Individual investor without setting up a company | $350,000 | $700,000 |
Second Home Visa
It is the category for people who want to reside without working. According to the Directorate General of Immigration (imigrasi.go.id), you need proof of funds of at least IDR 2 billion in a bank account, or ownership of a property in Indonesia, plus a passport valid for 36 months. Family members applying with the main holder do not need that proof of funds. You apply at molina.imigrasi.go.id. Confirm the current requirements on the official site before planning anything.
What to do with this
- Decide first whether you want to live in Indonesia or just invest. To invest in a villa in Bali you do not need to live there.
- If you want residency, check the official site for the category that fits you.
- Be wary of anyone who guarantees a visa as part of buying a villa.
