Options for Indonesia Nationals

Indonesia's strict prohibition on dual citizenship means that nationals who naturalize abroad permanently sever their Indonesian ties, while foreigners seeking long-term residence must navigate a permit-based system without a citizenship pathway. The 2024 Golden Visa program has improved Indonesia's attractiveness as a long-stay destination, though property ownership rights for foreigners remain structurally limited.

Key Considerations for Indonesia Nationals

  • 01Indonesia does not permit dual citizenship for adults; Indonesian nationals who voluntarily acquire foreign citizenship automatically lose their Indonesian nationality
  • 02Indonesia launched a Golden Visa program in 2023–2024 offering 5–10 year residency to foreign investors placing $350,000 (5-year) or $700,000 (10-year) in qualifying Indonesian instruments or companies
  • 03KITAS (Temporary Stay Permit) and KITAP (Permanent Stay Permit) are the primary residency instruments for foreigners; KITAP requires 5 years of consecutive KITAS and is renewable indefinitely
  • 04Foreign nationals are prohibited from directly owning freehold (Hak Milik) land in Indonesia; available titles include Hak Pakai (right of use) and long-term leasehold arrangements
  • 05Indonesia taxes worldwide income for residents; the tax year runs January to December with individual rates up to 35% for the highest bracket
  • 06Children born with dual nationality (one parent Indonesian) may retain dual status until age 21, at which point they must choose one citizenship
