Indonesia Retirement KITAS (E33F and E33E)

Indonesia has two retirement visas, E33F and E33E, both officially called Visa Rumah Kedua Lansia (elderly second home visa). E33F needs an Indonesian sponsor. E33E needs no sponsor but requires a deposit in a state-owned Indonesian bank.

Both are national permits from Indonesia's Directorate General of Immigration. Both let holders bring family under immigration rules. E33E also carries the Golden Visa tag on the official visa list.

E33F

• Age: 55 or older, the floor since May 3, 2024.
• Income: proof of income or a pension of at least $3,000 a month.
• Sponsor: an Indonesian sponsor (penjamin) who files the application and issues a sponsorship letter.

E33E

• Age: 55 or older.
• Income: proof of income or a pension of at least $3,000 a month.
• Deposit: at least $50,000 in the applicant's own account at a state-owned Indonesian bank, kept at that level while the ITAS is valid.
• Sponsor: none.

The age floors come from Permenkumham 11/2024 (Arts. 61 and 62) and match the official E33E page. The official pages set no nationality limit. The E33F page doesn't say who may act as sponsor.

E33F holders may not work outside their permit or sell goods or services. E33E holders can work, study or take on other activities after reporting a dual activity to the immigration office that issued their ITAS.

E33F documents

• Sponsorship letter: from the Indonesian sponsor.
• Passport: a national passport valid for at least six months.
• Bank statement: the last three months, in the applicant's or sponsor's name, showing at least $2,000 or the equivalent.
• Income proof: income or pension of at least $3,000 a month.
• Photo, CV and itinerary: a recent color photo taken within the last year, a curriculum vitae and a travel itinerary.

E33E documents

• Passport: a national passport valid for at least six months.
• Deposit commitment: a signed statement committing to hold at least $50,000 in a state-owned bank account in the applicant's own name.
• Bank statement: a personal statement for the last three months showing at least $2,000 or the equivalent, with name, period and balance.
• Income proof: income or pension of at least $3,000 a month.
• Photo, CV and travel history: a recent color photo, a curriculum vitae, travel history with an itinerary and any document explaining the purpose of the stay.

Health insurance isn't on either current official document list.

• E33F: IDR 7,000,000, covering the visa, a verification fee, the ITAS and the re-entry permit.
• E33E: IDR 13,000,000 for the same four items over the longer stay. It isn't refunded if the application is refused.

Fees are paid at designated banks using the billing code the eVisa system issues. The official pages don't publish extension fees.

The E33E deposit of $50,000 stays in the holder's own account. It's a guarantee, not a fee.

For E33F, the sponsor applies: the sponsor needs an account at evisa.imigrasi.go.id and files the application with the applicant's documents and a sponsorship letter. For E33E, the applicant applies through their own eVisa account.

• Processing: 5 days for E33F and 4 days for E33E, counted in working days after the fee is paid.
• Travel: the visa must be used to enter Indonesia within 90 calendar days of issue.
• Arrival: the ITAS and re-entry permit are issued automatically when the immigration officer admits the holder.
• E33E deposit: within 90 calendar days of entry, place the deposit and report it, with proof, to the immigration office that issued the ITAS.

The E33F ITAS runs 1 year. It can be extended online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id, each time for no longer than the first grant, up to 6 years of total ITAS time under Permenkumham 22/2023 (Art. 113).

The E33E ITAS runs up to 5 years and can be extended online while total ITAS time stays within 10 years, according to the official E33E page. The deposit has to stay at the committed level for as long as the ITAS is valid.

Holders of either visa belong to the elderly second-home category, which can apply to convert the ITAS into a permanent stay permit (ITAP) under Permenkumham 11/2024 (Art. 120). Both permits can also be transferred to other stay permits.

Applicants under the age floor can compare the second home visa (E33), which has no age limit.

No official source sets a tax regime for retirees, so pensions and other income follow Indonesia's general rules.

Under tax regulation PER-23/PJ/2025, a foreigner is an Indonesian tax resident if they live in Indonesia, spend more than 183 days there within any 12-month period or are in Indonesia during a tax year with the intent to live there.

An ITAS valid for more than 183 days counts as evidence of that intent. The E33F ITAS alone runs 1 year.

Tax residents are taxed on worldwide income, including pensions paid from abroad, under Finance Minister Regulation 18/PMK.03/2021. Whether a treaty moves the tax on a particular pension depends on the treaty between Indonesia and the paying country.
