Overview
The Second Home Visa lets self-funded foreign nationals, including retirees, live in Indonesia for an extended period without local employment. Eligibility rests on demonstrating substantial funds held in an Indonesian state-owned bank, or ownership of qualifying property, rather than on a job or company. It is aimed at people who can support themselves and want a stable long-stay base. It is a self-funded residence route and is not in itself a settlement or permanent-residence pathway.
