  • For retirees aged 60+
  • 1 year, renewable up to 5
  • Local sponsor required

Two things retirees often ask

Why do files get delayed?

Usually because documents that are valid on their own disagree with each other: name spellings, validity windows, addresses or unclear income proof. Check the file as a set.

Is a KITAS the right permit?

Retirement is one of several stay categories, alongside second-home and family permits, each with different tests. Compare the routes plausibly open to you before deciding.

Open passport with entry stamps

Information, not legal advice

  • A KITAS is a limited-stay permit, not permanent residency, and runs on a renewal cycle.
  • Requirements, formats and official charges are set by the Indonesian authorities and change.
  • Verify current rules with the Directorate General of Immigration or an Indonesian embassy.
