Who qualifies, what it costs, what you get, and how long it takes — the residency route the wealthy are quietly choosing over a second passport.
The Second Home Visa at a glance — qualify, reside, stay.
What it is
The Second Home Visa is an Indonesian residency visa for financially independent foreigners — retirees, investors, and remote high-earners — who want to live in Indonesia for the long term without local employment.
The requirements, plainly
- Minimum investment: $130,000 (IDR 2 billion), via one of two routes.
- Route 1 — deposit: place the funds in an Indonesian state bank. It remains your money.
- Route 2 — property: purchase qualifying luxury property from $1 million. It remains your asset.
- Validity: 5 to 10 years, extendable.
- Family: spouse, children, and parents may be sponsored.
- Permanent residency: apply for ITAP after three years.
- Processing: typically 1–2 months.
- Government fee: around IDR 21 million (~$130) per applicant.
Why it beats the alternatives for most people
Citizenship-by-investment programmes ask for a six-figure donation you never recover, and deliver a passport most buyers never actively use. The Second Home Visa asks you to *keep* your capital — as a deposit or an appreciating asset — and delivers the thing those buyers actually wanted: a beautiful, low-cost, high-quality place to live, with family included.
The honest caveats
Rules and figures change; this is general information, not legal or tax advice. Tolire's concierge works with licensed Indonesian immigration counsel and handles the paperwork end-to-end — but you should always confirm current requirements before committing capital.
