Second Home Visa
Open
Last verified July 2026Unconfirmed
Open. Introduced late 2022 / effective 2023. The IDR 2bn threshold has been reported consistently but the programme has been quiet since the Golden Visa launched and largely superseded by it.
At roughly USD 130,000 parked in a bank deposit, the Second Home Visa is one of the cheapest 5–10 year residence permits in Asia. It has been largely overshadowed by the Golden Visa but remains the low-cost entry point for a family that just wants a Bali base.

What can go wrong
- The deposit must sit in a state-owned Indonesian bank in IDR — you carry Indonesian rupiah and Indonesian bank credit risk on the full amount, for a decade.
- It confers no work rights.
- As with the Golden Visa: 183+ days means worldwide taxation at up to 35%.
- The programme has been quiet since the Golden Visa launched; confirm it is still being processed before committing funds.
- No path to permanent residency or citizenship.
