The requirements of getting a Retirement Visa is actually easy and straight forward:

• For the moment you must be already IN INDONESIA for applying for a Retirement Visa (onshore)
• Your passport must be at least 18 months valid and 6 blank pages
• You are above 55 years old
• You have at least USD 18,000 in your saving account
• You have an international health and life insurance
• You have a lease agreement of a property as your accommodation for at least one year.
• You are willing to employ at least two Indonesians in your accommodation (helper, cook, gardener, etc.)

Unfortunately NO, you cannot work in Bali or set up any business with your Retirement KITAS.

But if you are willing to own or run a business in Bali, you probably want to consider getting an Investor KITAS instead.

Not for the application Process. You can apply online while you are outside of Indonesia (apply for OFFSHORE KITAS).
But yes, you have to go to the immigration office once. Because as a first step, the government will issue a single entry Visit Visa that you will receive as an e-Visa. Then, once you arrive in Indonesia with this visa, you need to go in person to the appointed Immigration Office to take your photo and scan your fingerprints (biometric) – usually within one month after your arrival. During the pandemic, OFFSHORE KITAS is not available.

After this step, the retirement KITAS will be issued. Then the process is concluded.

There are several benefits of holding a Retirement KITAS in Indonesia:

• Of course, living in a beautiful tropical country (1-year and can be extended annually).
• You can also enter and exit Indonesia at anytime you want.
• Leasing a land or property under your name.
• Opening Indonesian bank account.
• Applying for Indonesian driving license.

Generally speaking, the application for the Retirement KITAS will be handled per person.

You and your spouse can both apply for a Retirement KITAS if both of you are qualified and meet all the requirements.
