The Retirement KITAS is a residence permit for foreigners aged 55 and over who want to live in Indonesia properly: winter without visa runs, rent a home long-term, open a bank account and feel like a resident rather than a tourist.
The status is issued for a year and renewed inside the country. Over time, continuous retirement status opens the path to a KITAP — permanent residence.
Key terms
- Age — 55 and over
- Term — 1 year, renewed annually without leaving, up to 5 years in total
- Income — from USD 3,000 per month: a pension, annuity or other regular source
- A three-month bank statement showing at least USD 2,000
- A sponsor is required — a licensed agency acts as one; this status cannot be arranged alone
- Selling goods or services directly inside Indonesia is not allowed; the path to KITAP opens at 60
The age is 55, not 60. Half the market still writes 60 — that figure applies not to the visa but to converting into permanent KITAP. The 55 threshold is set in the 2025 ministerial decree on visa classification.
Required documents
- A passport valid for at least 6 months
- A personal photo
- Proof of income from USD 3,000 per month
- A three-month bank statement showing at least USD 2,000
- A short CV and your travel itinerary
- A sponsor guarantee letter — we prepare this
Health insurance and a housing lease are not required. Some agencies still ask for them out of habit: those items are left over from the old retirement regime under index C319, which has been abolished.
There is a five-year version — with no sponsor
Retirement status comes in two forms, and almost everyone on the market shows only the first.
E33FAnnual
One year with renewals, up to five years in total. A sponsor is required — that is us. No deposit. This is what the page above describes.
E33ESilver Hair, 5 years
Five years upfront instead of annual renewals, and no sponsor at all. In exchange: a USD 50,000 deposit in an Indonesian state bank.
Age and income requirements are identical: 55 and over, from USD 3,000 a month. The difference is the term, the sponsor and the deposit. Full breakdown of the five-year route on the Silver Hair KITAS E33E page.

Frequently asked questions
Can I do a little work on a Retirement KITAS?
Selling goods or services directly inside Indonesia is prohibited under this status — that is the core restriction. The law does formally allow other activity, but only through a separate notification to immigration about combining activities (rangkap kegiatan), and on the retirement track almost nobody goes through it. If you plan to earn, it is more honest to look at the E33G for remote work with a foreign company, or the investor KITAS E28A.
My spouse is 52 — what then?
The law lets a retirement status holder bring family, and the spouse is issued a separate dependent KITAS under its own code, not the retirement one. The spouse’s age does not matter. One important detail: the income requirement is counted per person, not per couple. It is a non-standard case, so we will work through it in a consultation before you pay for anything.
How painful are the annual renewals?
Routine we take off your hands: we remind you in advance, gather the papers and run the process without you standing in queues.
When can I apply for a KITAP?
After several years of continuous retirement status — permanent residence removes the annual renewals. We’ll get you there.
