Economy & industry overview
Indonesia is Southeast Asia's largest economy and the world's 17th largest by nominal GDP, supported by a population of over 280 million people. The economy is driven by commodity exports including coal, palm oil, base metals, and oil and gas, alongside a large domestic consumer market and rapidly expanding digital economy. Banking and financial services, telecommunications, manufacturing, and natural resources form the backbone of the listed equity market. Growth has remained resilient at around 5 percent per year, anchored by domestic consumption and investment. The country is navigating a transition toward higher value-added manufacturing and digital services while remaining a significant global commodity supplier.

Relocation & residency
Investment visa / residency programme
Grants Long-stay Second Home Visa (5 or 10 years, renewable); not a pathway to permanent residency or citizenship
Indonesia does not operate a formal golden visa or citizenship-by-investment programme in the conventional sense. The government introduced a Second Home Visa in 2022, which allows foreign nationals to reside in Indonesia for five to ten years, renewable, provided they deposit a minimum amount in an Indonesian state bank or demonstrate equivalent assets. This is a long-stay visa, not a pathway to permanent residency or citizenship, and does not confer the right to work without a separate permit.
Minimum investment: $130.00K

Foreign-investor access
Indonesia does not permit foreigners to own freehold land directly; long-term property use rights (Hak Pakai) are available to foreign residents under certain conditions. The Second Home Visa requires proof of funds or a bank deposit held in a state-owned Indonesian bank. Cost of living varies significantly between Jakarta and other cities. Foreign nationals must obtain a separate work permit (KITAS) to be employed. Tax residency is triggered after 183 days of presence within a 12-month period.
