In short

The Retirement KITAS (E33F) remains the main route for foreigners aged 60 or over to live long-term in Indonesia without working: a 1-year limited-stay permit, renewable annually for up to 5 years.

  • Aged 60 or over
  • No work or business
  • Multiple exits and re-entries

Core eligibility requirements

The updated e-Visa regime and tighter financial rules through 2025 and mid-2026 shape every application.

Age 60+

At least 60 when you submit the application.

No work, no business

No salary or income in Indonesia, including property rental income.

Indonesian sponsor

Almost always a licensed visa agency or approved company.

Financial capacity

Passive income and bank balance, sometimes a deposit too.

Long-term lease

A rental agreement or lease in Indonesia.

Health insurance

Comprehensive cover for your entire stay. Mandatory.

Who the Retirement KITAS is for

The E33F is designed for genuine retirees.

  1. Living here long-term

    Foreign retirees who intend to live in Bali or Indonesia long-term.

  2. Not working

    You do not wish to work or run a business in Indonesia.

  3. Aged 60 or over

    Some older references still say 55+. The stricter 60+ threshold is now the standard.

  4. Able to employ locally

    Guidelines still require at least one Indonesian worker, such as a housekeeper or driver.

What changed for 2026

Why is financial proof under more scrutiny?

Immigration now expects robust proof of self-sufficiency, often in two layers: continuous passive income and a bank balance held over three months. A lump-sum deposit is increasingly requested too.

Is the USD 50,000 deposit an alternative to income proof?

Some read it that way. Our guidance is to prepare for it as an additional requirement alongside income proof. It is held at a state-owned bank such as Mandiri, BNI, BRI or BTN.

What do you gain after five years?

After 5 years of continuous Retirement KITAS, you may be eligible to apply for a KITAP, the permanent stay permit, through the retirement route.
