What is Retirement KITAS Indonesia? — 2026 Update

The retirement KITAS Indonesia, officially known as the Izin Tinggal Terbatas (ITAS) for “Lanjut Usia” (elderly/retirement), is the premier long-term stay permit for foreign nationals aged 55 and above wishing to retire in Indonesia. Specifically designed for those seeking a tranquil life in destinations like Bali, this visa category has seen significant updates in recent years, consolidating its legal framework and streamlining processes for eligible applicants.

As of 2026, the legal basis for the retirement visa Indonesia is firmly rooted in Permenkumham No. 22 Tahun 2023 concerning Visas and Stay Permits, further amended by Permenkumham No. 11 Tahun 2024, and technically implemented by Peraturan Menteri Imigrasi dan Pemasyarakatan (Permenimipas) No. 3 Tahun 2025. These regulations define “Lanjut Usia” as a specific purpose of stay, leading to either a KITAS or, eventually, a KITAP (permanent stay permit).

The primary index for most retirees is the E33F – Retirement KITAS (standard). This is a one-year limited stay permit, renewable annually for a maximum of five consecutive years before eligibility for conversion to a Retirement KITAP. Key Indonesia retirement KITAS requirements for the E33F include:

• Applicants must be 55 years of age or older (meeting the retirement KITAS age criteria).
• Mandatory sponsorship by a licensed retirement agent, such as Juara Holding Group.
• Proof of sufficient financial means, typically demonstrating a monthly income of at least USD 1,500 (or equivalent in other currencies) from pensions or investments, fulfilling the retirement KITAS income requirement.
• A commitment to employ a domestic helper (Indonesian national).
• Proof of health insurance and life insurance valid in Indonesia (though direct retirement KITAS medical checks are usually part of the post-arrival process at local immigration offices like Imigrasi Denpasar Kelas I).
• A valid passport with at least 18 months validity.

While the E33F is standard, the regulations also outline an E33E – Long-stay retirement variant, which, while sharing the “no work” principle, can offer different validity or requirements often tailored for multi-year initial grants.
