In detail
What is the second home visa?
The second home visa, code E33, is a long-stay visa for people who can show money or property instead of a job or a sponsor. No person or company has to back you: the deposit or the property is your guarantee.[1]
You apply for the visa, and on arrival you receive a KITAS (limited stay permit), the permit that lets you live here. How a KITAS works, and the other kinds, is on the KITAS page.[1]
How much money do you need for the second home visa?
You need one of two guarantees, and you must keep it at or above the committed amount for as long as the permit lasts. Either one counts:
- A deposit of at least USD 130,000, in your own name, at a state-owned bank in Indonesia.
- A flat or apartment in Indonesia worth at least USD 1 million.
At October 2026 rates, the deposit is about IDR 2.3 billion, more than the IDR 2 billion you may see quoted. Sources differ; see Conflicts.[1, 2]
The rule is USD 130,000 or the equivalent, with no currency set for the account. Ask the bank and the issuing immigration office how they value a rupiah account before you deposit.[1]
Our rule
Keep the deposit at or above the amount in your commitment statement for the whole stay.
The guarantee must hold that value for as long as the permit is valid.
How long does the second home visa last?
Your first permit lasts up to five years. You can extend it, with ten years in all as this permit's cap, and you can switch to another permit.[1]
How much does the second home visa cost?
The official fee is IDR 13 million (about USD 724) for up to five years, and it is not refunded if the application is refused. It covers the visa, a verification fee, the five-year stay permit and a five-year re-entry permit.[1]
The re-entry permit is part of the fee, so you can leave Indonesia and come back during those five years. Every visa fee sits together in the fees and fines table.[1]
How do you apply for the second home visa?
You apply yourself, with no sponsor, and the visa is decided four business days after you pay.[1]
Gather the documents
Have these ready before you start the form. The bank statement is a personal one, in your own name.[1]
- A passport valid for at least six months.
- A personal bank statement showing USD 2,000 over the last three months.
- A colour photo taken in the last year.
- A CV, and your travel history and plan.
Apply and pay on the official site
Apply on evisa.imigrasi.go.id, committing in writing to the deposit or the property you will hold. Pay the IDR 13 million (about USD 724) fee with the billing code the site gives you, at one of the banks it names; a refused application keeps the fee.[1]
Enter Indonesia within 90 days
The visa is valid for 90 days from the day it is issued. If you do not travel in that time, it lapses.[1]
Your permit is issued at the border
Your stay permit and re-entry permit are issued at the immigration checkpoint when you are admitted. Keep both with your passport.[1]
Report the deposit or property within 90 days
Within 90 days of arrival, place the deposit or complete the apartment purchase, and report it to the immigration office that issued your permit, with proof of the deposit or of the apartment matching what you committed to. A foreigner's apartment purchase has its own conditions, set out under buying property.[1]
What can go wrong with a second home visa?
The costly mistakes are paying fake visa agents or unofficial sites, and paying an agent without knowing how much of the price is the official fee. The government's application site is evisa.imigrasi.go.id, and fraudulent visa services exist.[1, 9]
The official fee is IDR 13 million (about USD 724) on the official site. Agents charge for their service, and the table sets sellers' quotes beside the official fees.[1, 7, 8]
| Visa | Official fee | Sellers' quotes |
|---|---|---|
| Second home (E33), 5 years | IDR 13 jt | About IDR 39 jt (a USD 2,175 sale price, our conversion) |
| Remote worker (E33G), 1 year | IDR 7 jt | IDR 12 jt to 15.3 jt |
Neither quote says whether the official fee is inside it, so you cannot tell the service charge from the fee.[7, 8]
Our rule
Ask any agent to show the official fee as its own line, and pay that fee only with a billing code from evisa.imigrasi.go.id.
You then know what the service costs, and the fee reaches immigration through the banks it names.
Is a retirement visa better than the second home visa?
If you are 55 or over with an income or allowance of USD 3,000 a month, the five-year retirement visa asks for less money: a USD 50,000 deposit and USD 3,000 a month in income or allowance, for the same IDR 13 million (about USD 724) and the same five years.[3]
The second home visa suits you if you have the larger sum but no pension or set income, or you are under 55, too young for the five-year retirement visa. Whether this visa can lead to a KITAP (permanent stay permit) is not settled, so ask immigration before you plan on one.[1, 3, 6]
| Visa | What you show | Stay | Official fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Second home (E33) | USD 130,000 deposit, or a USD 1 million apartment | Up to 5 years, 10 in all | IDR 13 million |
| Retirement, 5 years (E33E) | Age 55 or over; USD 50,000 deposit; USD 3,000 a month | Up to 5 years, 10 in all | IDR 13 million |
| Retirement, 1 year (E33F) | USD 3,000 a month; a sponsor | 1 year | IDR 7 million |
| Remote worker (E33G) | USD 60,000 a year from a company abroad | 1 year | IDR 7 million |
Our rule
If you are 55 or over with USD 3,000 a month in income or allowance, price the five-year retirement visa before you lock USD 130,000 in a bank.
Its deposit is USD 80,000 smaller, for the same fee and length.

FAQ
Can your family come with you on a second home visa?

You need proof of ownership within the 90-day window. Ask the issuing office whether an apartment you already own counts.[1]
Is the remote worker visa a second home visa?
It sits in the same family of visas, but it is a one-year permit for people paid by a company abroad, with no large deposit, only the income test and a USD 2,000 bank statement. It is on the remote worker visa page.[5]

Sources differ on how much money the second home visa needs and whether you may work on it.
How much money does the second home visa need?
Hold at least USD 130,000 or the equivalent, about IDR 2.3 billion at the October 2026 rate, not IDR 2 billion; or commit to a USD 1 million apartment.
The current visa page cites the 2025 visa classification decision (Kepmen Imipas M.IP-08.GR.01.01 Tahun 2025); the IDR 2 billion figure is from the 2022 launch. At the rate valid 21 to 27 October 2026, USD 130,000 is about IDR 2.3 billion.

Keep at least USD 130,000 in an account in your own name at a state-owned bank, or commit to buy a flat or apartment worth at least USD 1,000,000.[1]
