Investment Options
| Indonesia provides a residency framework centred on two primary programmes: the premium Golden Visa for large-scale investors and the Second Home Visa for those seeking long-term lifestyle stability. The Golden Visa offers 5-year or 10-year permits for individuals making passive investments in government bonds, mutual funds or public shares starting at $350,000, or for those establishing companies with multi-million-dollar capital commitments. In contrast, the Second Home Visa serves as a more accessible alternative for financially independent individuals, retirees and property owners, requiring a $130,000 (IDR 2 billion) bank deposit or the purchase of qualifying residential real estate of equivalent value to secure a 5-year or 10-year stay. Both programmes facilitate family inclusion and, for those living in the country for at least three years, provide a pathway to permanent residency (KITAP), while decoupling residency from local employment — though Golden Visa holders enjoy additional perks such as fast-track airport processing and prioritised government services. |

Conclusion
The 2026 Global Residency Programs Index makes one thing clear: there is no single best programme, only the best fit for a given set of priorities. A decade of reform has left the sector more transparent, more compliance-driven and more diverse in the routes it offers (from regulated funds and entrepreneurial ventures to lifestyle and long-stay options) so that residency has matured into a credible, durable planning tool rather than a shortcut. Whether the goal is mobility, tax efficiency, quality of life or an eventual second passport, the value of this 2026 GRP Index lies in matching the right route to the right objective, grounded in evidence rather than marketing.
