A second Home visa is granted for foreigners to stay and enter Indonesia for 5 or 10 years. While tourist visa (B211A) can be obtained from every Indonesian Embassy or Consulate that lasts for 60 days and 2 times extensions (maximum stay at least six months)
“The second home residence permit is motivated by the phenomenon of migration of foreigners to Indonesia with various purposes and activities. One of which is to live in Indonesia because of its natural charm and friendly weather compared to their home country. In addition, because geographically and the potential natural resources and economic resources that Indonesia has, foreigners, can develop their business and invest here,” Said Yasonna
Yasonna said, in its application, the second home visa certainly puts forward the selective principle and the principle of benefit for the good of Indonesia.
Foreigners or sponsors applying for a second resident visa can access the website-based application form at molina.imigration.go.id directly, easily, and quickly. This one platform application also works as a submission.
