Indonesia has a long-term residency visa that allows foreign nationals to live in the country for up to five years, with the possibility of extending that stay beyond the initial period.
The visa comes at a total cost of IDR 21,000,000, which covers both the entry permit and stay permit fees. Applicants do not need to pay these charges separately, as the combined fee settles both requirements.

What the Indonesia long-term visa offers
Holders of this visa can remain in Indonesia on a permanent basis for the duration of their permit. Family members are also eligible to be included under the same arrangement, making it a viable option for those relocating with dependants.
Beyond residency, the visa opens additional pathways. Holders who meet the relevant criteria can apply for Indonesian citizenship. The scheme also permits study within Indonesia, meaning holders are not restricted to residency alone.
Conditions attached to the visa
Applicants must be able to show they have enough money to support themselves throughout their time in Indonesia. Financial sufficiency is a core condition of the visa, and holders are expected to maintain this throughout their stay.
All visa holders are also required to follow the conditions attached to the permit and abide by Indonesian law for the full duration of their residency.
The extendable nature of the visa means that eligible holders can continue living in Indonesia beyond the initial five-year window, provided they continue to meet the stated requirements.
