Business owners with a minimum 20% share in a foreign company can establish a business in Indonesia. To obtain a 5-year visa, individuals must invest at least $2.5 million to establish a company in the country. The investment requirement for a 10-year visa is twice as high—$5 million.
Individual investors who do not wish to open a business in Indonesia can invest $350,000 or $700,000 in one of the following options:
Indonesian government bonds;
shares in a local public company;
mutual funds in a publicly listed company.
Company directors or commissioners are eligible for a 5-year residence permit if their corporation invests $25 million to open a business in Indonesia and for a 10-year residence permit with an investment of at least $50 million. The turnover of their overseas business must be $100,000 or more.
Diaspora. Ex-Indonesian citizens can obtain a 5-year visa by investing at least $35,000 in government bonds, shares of a local public company, or mutual funds. The investment threshold for descendants of ex-Indonesian citizens is higher—at least $50,000.
Property investors can apply for a residence permit if they deposit $130,000 or more in a state-owned bank and purchase an apartment in Indonesia worth at least $1 million.
Global talents can get residency in Indonesia through an invitation from the local government.

Applicants also need to have at least $2,000 to cover monthly living costs.
Public figures. A residence permit may be granted to distinguished foreigners who have made notable contributions to their fields. They must also provide proof of their sponsorship from the central government or a state institution and proof of funds to cover monthly living costs of $5,000 or more.
Retirees. Foreigners over 60 can move to Indonesia if they deposit at least $50,000 in a state-owned bank.
