Second Home Visa
Open
Last verified July 2026Unconfirmed
Open. Introduced in late 2022 and effective in 2023. The IDR 2bn threshold has been reported consistently, but the programme has gone quiet since the Golden Visa launched and has largely been superseded by it.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 overshadowed by the Golden Visa, but it 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. That means you carry Indonesian rupiah exposure and Indonesian bank credit risk on the full amount, for a decade.
- It confers no work rights.
- As with the Golden Visa, spending 183 days or more in the country triggers worldwide taxation at rates up to 35%.
- The programme has been quiet since the Golden Visa launched. Confirm it is still being processed before you commit funds.
- No path to permanent residency or citizenship.
