Indonesia Residency (Online Processing)
1. Golden Visa Indonesia (E28B)
For entrepreneurs seeking temporary residency in Indonesia, the Golden Visa (E28B) offers an ideal solution through company setup. This program is designed for investors and business owners, allowing a stay of 5 or 10 years, with renewals every two years. You can continue to operate your company in Indonesia even if you choose not to renew your residency after two years, as the company and residency status are independent once your business or personal bank account is established. Foreigners are allowed to serve as legal representatives, and the only requirement is to have at least two shareholders; one acting as Director and the other as Commissioner.
- Type: Investor Residency
- Country: Indonesia
- Duration: 1-2 year
- Price: Company Setting Up + Golden Visa: 3500 USD
Setting Up a Foreign-Owned Company (PMA) in Indonesia

ii. Processing time: approximately 3 weeks.
iii. No physical office in Indonesia is required, as we will provide a legal online address for USD 400 per year.
iv. You need to come up with three names for the company; each should consist of 3 words in English.
v. Choose the most suitable KBLI (Klasifikasi Baku Lapangan Usaha Indonesia) codes for your activity. (similar to NAICS or SIC codes in other countries)
Company Registration Documents You Will Receive:
Upon registration, you will receive:
• Notarial deed (Articles of Association)
• Business activity license
• List of founders/shareholders (TSC)
• Tax number and related documents
• Other internal company documents (6 in total)
Investor Residency (KITAS E28B)
• Processing time: 2–3 weeks
• Includes electronic KITAS issuance after arrival
• Renewal is available every 2 years
• After 4 years of continuous KITAS, you will be eligible for Permanent Residency
After 9 years, you will be eligible to apply for Citizenship (note: Indonesia does not allow dual citizenship)
Note: A company opened outside Indonesia will not work for a residence permit (Investor’s KITAS). Only a company opened in Indonesia will work.
Opening Bank Account in Indonesia
• Assistance with opening a corporate bank account in Indonesia, fees: USD 300 (or self-service option available)
• Token and security setup provided by the bank
Note: You can open a bank account only in person. However, we can set up a virtual office for you.
Important Note:
To keep your bank account active in Indonesia, you must maintain an Indonesian SIM card registered in your name. To keep this SIM card active, you also need to use it with a locally purchased cellphone. Imported phones from abroad can only function for about three months before being automatically deactivated, as the system tracks and blocks unregistered IMEI codes. Therefore, it’s recommended to buy a simple local phone (even an old Nokia model for around $50) and use it with an Indonesian SIM card. This ensures continuous access to your bank account. As mentioned above, even if you do not renew your residency, you can still keep both your company and bank account active.

Benefit of Having a Genuine Company in Indonesia
One main benefit of registering a real company in Indonesia is that you can use its passive income to qualify for the Argentine Rentista residency. You can also run your Indonesian business remotely, ensuring stable income and easy management while living in Argentina.
2. Indonesia Remote Worker Visa (Digital Nomad KITAS - E33G)
The E33G Visa (Kitas Pekerja Jarak Jauh) allows foreigners who work remotely for companies outside Indonesia to live and work legally from within the country. It’s designed for digital nomads and remote professionals seeking to stay in Indonesia while continuing their overseas employment. The visa is valid for 1 year and can be extended online via evisa.imigrasi.go.id, while the visa itself must be used to enter Indonesia within 90 days of issuance.
• KITAS for remote worker service fees: USD 1500
• Family Dependent KITAS service fees: USD 1200
• Government Fees: ~ USD 500
• Processing time: ~9 working days
Requirements:
1) Passport valid for at least 6 months
2) Selfie on a white background (taken within the past year)
3) Proof of financial means: bank statement (last 3 months) showing at least USD 2,000.

Benefit of Having a KITAS Temporary Residency in Indonesia
One of the main benefits of having a residency (KITAS) in Indonesia is that it makes the legalization of your documents much easier and faster. For example, if you plan to apply for the Argentine Rentista residency, you will need to present documents such as your company ownership certificate, proof of passive income or dividends, and a bank letter. With an Indonesian residency, you can have all these documents notarized and apostilled directly at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights in Indonesia, without visiting the Argentine Consulate. Once everything is apostilled, including the power of attorney, you can simply send the documents to Buenos Aires, where the Immi Legal team will submit them to the Argentine Migration Department on your behalf for Entry Authorization to Argentina. After your Entry Authorization is approved, you can enter Argentina as a resident instead of a tourist. Applicants who require a visa to enter Argentina still need to visit the consulate for an interview; however, with an approved entry permit, your chances of having the entry visa stamped in your passport are significantly higher than when applying for a regular tourist visa.
3. Business Visa Indonesia (D12 Visa)
The D12 Visa allows foreigners to enter Indonesia for business startup activities or to explore investment opportunities. It also permits visiting tourist attractions and meeting friends or family. This multiple-entry visitor visa grants an initial stay of up to 180 days, extendable for a total of 12 months, but it cannot be converted into a temporary stay permit. Applicants must have a local sponsor registered on evisa.imigrasi.go.id, and the process typically takes five working days after payment. The total cost will be USD 1200 for one year. Must renew after 6 months (visa run required) or renewal from inside Indonesia will cost an extra USD 500. You can open a local Indonesian savings bank account at no cost.
Required Documents:
1. Residential address in Indonesia
2. Passport photo page (clear scan)
3. Passport-style photo (selfie on a light background)
Visa activation: You must enter Indonesia using this visa to activate it. Since the process is fully online, you don’t need long-term residency in any country to apply. Unlike most countries that require consulate appointments, Indonesia’s system is simple, fast, and accessible, the true beauty of Indonesian visa approach.
The C1 visa is a single-entry visitor visa for visa-required countries for tourism, business meetings, or site visits, valid for 60 days and extendable up to 180 days. Our service fees cost USD 300 per 60 days per person, renewable in person from inside (USD 300), or we can renew online too for USD 350. Applicants need a passport valid 6+ months, proof of USD 2,000 funds, and a return ticket. No sponsor required unless stateless or holding a non-national passport. Processing takes about five working days.
The B1 visa is a Visa on Arrival (VoA) that allows single entry to Indonesia for tourism, visiting family or friends, attending meetings, conventions, or transiting to another country. It is valid for 30 days and can be extended once for another 30 days from inside Indonesia. The cost is USD 150 for 30 days and USD 150 for renewal from inside. Citizens of eligible countries, such as Argentina, can apply online via evisa.imigrasi.go.id or indonesiavoa.vfsevisa.id by uploading a valid passport (6+ months), a return or onward ticket, and a recent photo, with digital payment by card. Processing takes about 1 day, and no sponsor is required. Holders of this visa cannot work or earn income in Indonesia.
