The Second home Visa Indonesia (KITAS) – Who is it for and what are the benefits?
The Indonesia’s second home visa is a new long-term visa program to provide a permit that allows foreigners to stay in Indonesia for up to 10 years, depending on specific conditions. The government officially launched this visa for individuals to engage in non-work related activities such as investment, tourism visits, and retirement.
An additional advantage of the Second Home Visa ITAS is the opportunity for visa holders to sponsor their immediate family members, including spouses, children, and parents, to apply for the Second Home Family Visa ITAS. This family visa allows them to enjoy the same duration of stay as the primary visa holder, fostering a sense of togetherness and facilitating a seamless experience for families relocating to Indonesia.
The visa has a term length of 5 or 10 years which is optional depending on preference. The initiative is meant to aid in bringing wealthy foreigners into Indonesia to help aid in building the economy.
