The terms
- ✓Age 55+ — the core requirement
- ✓A one-year status, renewable
- ✓Multiple entries and exits
- ✓No work or income in Indonesia
Why not just use tourist visas
You can, but it is an endless loop of extensions and flights: 60 days, extend, extend again, exit — on repeat, with the risk of overstaying one day. The retirement status turns Bali from a long holiday into home: one document a year, calm renewals, no day-counter in your head.
