Indonesia is still the easiest visa. That’s like magic! Within just two weeks, your entire process gets completed. In this, within 2 years, even if you don’t have a large investment all at once, you can complete it gradually and comfortably.
Basically, Indonesia still has the easiest investor visa. The requirements for this visa are very minimal. The process is company-based — first, your company is formed, and then your two-year investor visa is issued.
For this, the requirements are very simple — you only need your passport at the start, the company name you want to register, and the list of activities you want to include. Once your company is formed, your passport and picture are needed to apply for the two-year investor visa. So, these are the minimum requirements compared to any other visa in the world.
Secondly, the processing time is very fast. Your company registration takes just one week, and your visa is ready the next week — that’s like magic! Within two weeks, the entire process is done.
Initially, this visa allows you one entry, and right after entering Indonesia, you receive your 2-year investor KITAS (residence permit) at the airport itself. It’s called the Investor KITAS.
Now, if we look at the current situation — Dubai, as you know, is not easily giving visas anymore. It has become very difficult and extremely costly if you want to obtain a license there. Even after paying high fees, it’s uncertain whether you’ll get a visa or not. Similarly, other countries have very long processes that require a lot of documentation. Even Malaysia’s process isn’t that easy.
But in Indonesia, everything is done smoothly and at a very reasonable cost. You just need a company and then the investor visa — both completed within two weeks. Only your passport and picture are required — these are all the documents you need for the investor visa.
Now, what can you do on an investor visa? You can make investments in Indonesia — in any type of business. You can include 5, 6, or even 10 business activities in your company. Usually, 5 are enough, because each covers a wide range of operations. For example, if you choose “food,” it includes cafes, restaurants, juice bars, and other food-related businesses. Similarly, if you include “grocery store,” it covers all types of grocery businesses, large or small.
So, under this visa, you first get 2 years of residency. During these two years, even if you don’t have the full investment immediately, you can complete it gradually because there’s no strict time limit for reaching the investment threshold. Many people build their profiles slowly — they keep doing small transactions and send funds from abroad into their company account. These transactions strengthen your business profile in the eyes of immigration and the government.
If you travel to Indonesia and start your business activities, you can work in any business sector. There are no restrictions — you can add any business you want. This is an investment visa, which means you are supposed to invest and start a business, not work as an employee in a shop. You can hire local staff while managing your business remotely or in the background.
This visa is especially beneficial for people involved in import-export, e-commerce, online trading, or similar activities — because they can operate their business even from home.
Initially, the company package includes a one-year virtual office, which you can renew later or convert into a physical office after one year. However, it is recommended that after two years, you establish a physical office.
Besides that, it is also handled all compliance documents and complete your setup package at a very reasonable price. The best part, as it is mentioned earlier, is that the process is fast and requires minimal documentation.
In other countries, you need a lot of documents, and the waiting time is very long. For example, it is recently applied for several clients in Oman, but suddenly the process was stopped. So, these types of issues often happen in other countries.
In Indonesia, however, everything has been running smoothly for the past two years — which is very, very good.
So, for those who are interested — this update is to let you know that the process is still the same. There haven’t been any major changes — just a slight increase in the price, but everything else remains unchanged.
