A retirement visa is a temporary stay permit (KITAS or ITAS) for retirement purposes. Retirees who wish to spend their pension in Indonesia are required to present sufficient funds and prove that they have no intention of working in the country.
On top of that, foreigners must present their health record as a confirmation of their good health conditions and hire a domestic helper.
Unfortunately, not every retiree who is 55 years of age or older, is eligible for obtaining a retirement visa in Indonesia. Restrictions are related to foreigners’ countries of origin as well.
Currently, around 60 nationalities are granted the retirement visa option:
A – Argentina, Australia, Austria
B – Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria
C – Canada, Cyprus
D – Denmark
E – Egypt, Estonia
F – Finland, France
G – Germany, Greece
