The Golden Visa is an immigration product that facilitates foreign nationals' entry and exit to and from Indonesia more easily, quickly, and efficiently, lasting 5 to 10 years. Foreign nationals who possess this Golden Visa will enjoy numerous benefits and conveniences not available to regular visa holders.
According to the official website of the TPI SAMPIT Immigration Office Class II, the Golden Visa is based on the Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation No. 22 of 2023 on Visas and Stay Permits, and the Minister of Finance Regulation No. 82 of 2023, enacted on August 30, 2023, which serve as the foundation for the establishment of the Golden Visa policy.
Quoting from the official website of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia, other benefits include simplified and faster visa application and immigration procedures, multiple entry mobility, the right to own assets in the country, extended stay duration, and a fast-track pathway for citizenship application.
The President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, officially launched the Golden Visa on Thursday (25/07). The Golden Visa is an immigration product that allows foreign nationals to enter, exit, or reside in Indonesia for 5-10 years.
Indonesia aims to become a destination for global talents, creating a significant multiplier effect. This includes capital gains, technology transfer, job opportunities, and improving the quality of human resources. Hence, the launch of the Golden Visa aims to facilitate and provide convenience for foreign nationals who wish to invest in Indonesia.
However, unfortunately, the Indonesian government has not yet prepared the Golden Visa for all countries that desire it. Therefore, through the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia, only 10 countries are currently prioritized. Here are the 10 countries whose citizens are eligible for Indonesia’s Golden Visa:
- United Arab Emirates
- Japan
- Singapore
- United States
- Netherlands
- China
- France
- Germany
- United Kingdom
- South Korea
