Bali is one of the most pleasant and comfortable places to stay. A good tropical climate, beautiful nature, a fairly high level of medical care and, of course, the hospitality of the locals. What else do you need for a carefree life in retirement?
Good news! Indonesian legislation provides for a special type of visa for the elderly – the Retirement Visa.
The Kitas retirement visa is issued to persons who have reached the age of 55. In fact, this visa is a temporary residence permit in Indonesia. A retirement visa is issued for 1 year with a possible annual extension of up to five years. After 5 years, you can apply for a permanent residence permit.
If one spouse is under 55 years old, they may apply for a dependent retirement visa with an official marriage certificate. Additionally, dependent retirement visas are available for children under 18 years old of the applicant.
A pension kitas is issued to persons who have reached the age of 55. It is possible to become a sponsor for issuing other types of kitas for a spouse/child under the age of 18, if there is a marriage certificate.
The term for issuing an onshore pension kitas is about 1 month.
