Second Home Visa (index E33) – Indonesia

People with substantial savings or property who want a long-term base in Indonesia without an employer, company or local sponsor. There is no age requirement, so it fits younger people with capital as well as retirees. It is not a work or business-operating visa. Retirees aged 60+ and remote workers have separate, cheaper permits (E33E/E33F and E33G).

• Passport valid for at least 36 months (some providers cite 6 months on the application form; check the current official requirement on the immigration eVisa portal).
• Recent colour photo, CV and travel itinerary.
• Personal bank statement showing a balance of at least USD 2,000 over the last 3 months (per the eVisa criteria as summarised by a visa-consultancy blog).
• Proof of living expenses and an address in Indonesia.
• A commitment letter to meet one financial condition within 90 days of arrival:
  • a deposit in your own name at a state-owned bank (Mandiri, BNI, BRI or BTN). Older sources and most consultancies say USD 130,000; some newer providers quote IDR 2 billion. Confirm the current figure on the official eVisa portal before transferring money; or
  • a flat/apartment or other qualifying property worth at least USD 1,000,000 (foreigners can hold only Hak Pakai right-of-use or long leasehold, not freehold).
• The deposit must be kept for the whole validity of the permit.
• Family members apply on the main holder's visa and need the holder's valid visa plus their own documents.

5 or 10 years, with multiple entries. Common description: an initial permit of up to 5 years, extendable online through the immigration eVisa system to a total of 10 years (some providers sell a 10-year option from the start; check the current rules). The regulatory basis cited by lawyers is Regulation No. 22 of 2023 as amended by No. 11 of 2024. On arrival the electronic stay permit (e-ITAS) and re-entry permit are issued at the immigration checkpoint if conditions are met.

Government/agent fees are not consistently published. One agency lists about IDR 30,000,000 for the 5-year visa and around 5 working days' processing, but treat that as indicative and expect agent service fees on top. The real cost is the capital: about USD 130,000 (or IDR 2 billion) locked in a state bank, or a USD 1M property plus purchase costs.
