FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum age for a retirement visa in Indonesia?
You must be aged 55 or older to apply for the Retirement KITAS (E33F). Age is only one part of eligibility: you also need evidence of a pension or sufficient regular income, health or life insurance covering Indonesia, proof of accommodation and a passport with at least 18 months' validity.
Can I work in Indonesia on a retirement visa?
No. The E33F does not allow employment. It is designed for foreign nationals who are no longer working and can support themselves through a pension or savings. If you want to keep working remotely for clients or employers abroad, the Remote Worker Visa (E33G) is the relevant category instead.
How long is the Indonesian retirement KITAS valid?
The Retirement KITAS is valid for one year and is renewable annually. It is a multiple entry permit, so you can travel in and out while it is valid. Over time it can lead to longer term residence. ILA confirms the current requirements before each step so your stay stays compliant.
Should I choose the retirement visa or the Second Home KITAS?
They suit different plans. The Retirement KITAS (E33F) is for retirees aged 55 and over, runs for one year and is renewed annually. The Second Home KITAS (E33) offers a five or ten year long stay base. ILA reviews your situation and confirms which visa fits before you commit.
