Your Step-by-Step Retirement KITAS Journey with Us

Our structured approach simplifies what can often be an intricate process, making us your indispensable Bali retirement guide.

Step 1: Initial Consultation & Eligibility Assessment

Your journey begins with a confidential, in-depth consultation with one of our Senior Visa Specialists, often led by Bram Brenner himself. We’ll review your individual circumstances against the current 2026 Retirement KITAS criteria, including age, financial standing, and intentions for your stay. This crucial step ensures you meet all core eligibility requirements and clarifies any potential concerns before proceeding.

Step 2: Comprehensive Document Preparation & Review

Once your eligibility is confirmed, we guide you through gathering all necessary documentation. This includes proof of age, financial statements, accommodation details, and health insurance. Our team meticulously reviews every document for accuracy and completeness, ensuring it meets Immigration’s precise standards. We identify and rectify any discrepancies, preventing delays or rejections that can arise from minor errors.

Step 3: Expert Sponsorship & E-Visa Application

As your official Indonesian sponsor (guarantor), we manage the entire e-Visa application process on your behalf. We submit your complete application through the Indonesian e-Visa system, leveraging our direct lines of communication with Immigration authorities. We monitor your application’s progress diligently and handle all correspondence, responding to any requests for further information promptly and accurately.

Step 4: Visa Issuance & Post-Arrival Guidance

Upon approval, your Retirement KITAS will be issued, allowing you entry into Indonesia within 90 days of issuance. Our support doesn’t end there. We provide essential post-arrival guidance, including necessary local Immigration reporting and advice on settling into your new life in Bali. We are committed to ensuring your transition is as smooth as possible, from application to comfortable residency.

What We Handle for You – The Full Scope of Our Service

Our Retirement KITAS Concierge Service is designed to manage every aspect of your visa application:

Licensed Local Sponsorship: We serve as your mandatory Indonesian sponsor, a cornerstone of the Retirement KITAS application.

Additionally, reflecting recent tightening, applicants should be prepared for requests to show a **USD 50,000 term deposit** with a state-owned Indonesian bank (such as Mandiri, BNI, BRI, BTN), especially for longer-term stays or as an alternative demonstration of financial capability, depending on the specific immigration officer’s interpretation.
E-Visa Application Management: Complete handling of your application through the Indonesian e-Visa system, ensuring correct submission and follow-up.
Document Verification & Submission: Meticulous review, preparation, and submission of all required documents to Immigration.
Liaison with Indonesian Immigration Authorities: All communication and advocacy with government bodies are managed by our experienced team.
Guidance on Accommodation: Assistance in understanding and proving your accommodation arrangements, including the typical minimum rental value of around USD 500/month in Bali.
Health Insurance Compliance: Ensuring you have the mandatory health insurance covering your stay in Indonesia.
Local Employee Requirement: Clarification and guidance on the requirement to employ at least one Indonesian worker (e.g., housekeeper, gardener, driver) as part of the visa conditions.
Pre-Qualification by Nationality: Confirming your eligibility based on your country of origin, excluding ‘calling visa’ countries.
