A second home visa indonesia consultant is an immigration or legal professional who helps you interpret the Second Home Visa rules, prepare documents, and submit your e-Visa (E33F) application. On this page, we connect you with independent consultants who understand the practical details of the IDR 2 billion deposit, eligibility, timelines, and the limits on work.
This is the contact page for Second Home Visa Indonesia. We are an independent information resource, not the government and not a visa “agent”. Our role is to explain the rules in plain English/Bahasa, then (if you ask) connect you to vetted immigration and legal partners who can handle your case directly.
How to contact Second Home Visa Indonesia
To contact second home visa indonesia, use the enquiry form at the top of this page. The form goes directly to our editorial team, not to an automated sales pipeline.
If you prefer, you can also:
- Send us an email (details shown above this text area on the live page).
- Message our vetted partner via WhatsApp for practical planning and document checks (number displayed alongside the form).
Please include in your first message:
- Your nationality and current country of residence.

- Your rough arrival timeline (for example: “within 3 months”).
- Any dependants (spouse/children) you may want on derivative Second Home KITAS.
This helps us route your query to the right independent second home visa indonesia consultant in our network.
What we do — and what we do not do
Information, not advice
Secondhomevisaindonesia.com is an editorial project. We track regulations, Circulars, and practice-based changes in how the Second Home Visa is processed. Our coverage is grounded in:
- Government Regulation (Peraturan Pemerintah) No. 48/2021 (PP 48/2021) — last verified June 2026.
- Directorate General of Immigration Circular: IMI-0740.GR.01.01/2022 on Second Home Visa — last verified June 2026.
We do not provide legal advice. Anything you read on this site is general information and should be confirmed with a licensed immigration or legal professional before you act on it.
We are not a government office
We are:
- Not the Directorate General of Immigration (Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi).
- Not the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
- Not a law firm or notaris office.
We cannot “pull strings”, expedite your case, or influence an approval. Only the Directorate General of Immigration can issue a Second Home e-Visa (E33F) and KITAS, and they may change practice without advance notice.
We do not file visas — our partners do
We do not submit applications or hold your passport. Instead, once you contact second home visa indonesia using the form or WhatsApp, we can introduce you to an independent:
- Visa and immigration consultancy; and/or
- Licensed Indonesian advocate (advokat) or law office (Kantor Hukum)
who can act as your second home visa indonesia consultant and manage the operational work: online submission, payment, liaison with Immigration, and local reporting once you land.
Our independence policy: no one can pay to change what we publish; if you proceed with our partner they may pay us a referral fee at no extra cost to you.
How our Second Home Visa partner referrals work
Step 1 — You send an enquiry
Use the form at the top of this page or WhatsApp to outline your situation. The more specific you are, the more precise the match we can suggest (for example: “US passport, retired, want to bring spouse on dependent visa, Bali-based”.)
Step 2 — We sanity-check eligibility and route
We quickly review your message against current rules and practice-based realities, then:
- Flag any obvious red lines (for example: assuming work rights that do not exist, or insufficient deposit funds).
- Suggest the correct visa label (E33F Second Home vs. alternative KITAS options).
- Connect you to an appropriate independent partner, if you ask us to.
Step 3 — You engage directly with the consultant
From that point, you deal directly with the independent second home visa indonesia consultant. They will provide their own engagement letter, pricing, and scope. We step back; we are not part of your contract with them and we do not handle your documents.
If you are ready to map out your next steps with a professional, you can plan your trip logistics and visa timeline with a partner via WhatsApp and email.
What an independent Second Home Visa consultant can help with
1. Eligibility and route selection
Under Circular IMI-0740.GR.01.01/2022, the Second Home Visa is primarily for foreign nationals (and some ex-Indonesian citizens) who can show:
- A bank account in Indonesia holding at least IDR 2,000,000,000 (two billion rupiah) — last verified June 2026; or
- Ownership of qualifying luxury property in Indonesia — the property route is practice-sensitive and should be [VERIFY] with a professional because thresholds and accepted proofs may change.
IDR 2 billion is roughly USD 120,000–130,000 at typical mid-market exchange rates — last verified June 2026; your bank and transfer service may use different FX rates and fees.
A consultant can assess whether you are realistically eligible now, or whether another KITAS type (e.g. retirement or investor) is more aligned with your plans.
2. The deposit: timing, bank choice, and letters
Practice-based reality: the Circular contemplates the deposit as a condition for a stay permit, but in real processing flows officers often expect proof of funds quite early in the process. The details can change by office and over time, which is why we flag them as practice, not statute.
Key deposit points a consultant can walk you through:
- Minimum amount: IDR 2,000,000,000 — last verified June 2026.
- Type of institution: State-owned bank (Bank Himbara: BRI, BNI, Mandiri, BTN) is the default interpretation in practice, even though interpretations can shift by local office.
- Proof format: Typically a bank confirmation letter (surat keterangan bank) in Bahasa Indonesia showing account name, number, and balance, often with a recent date requirement (for example, issued within 1–2 weeks of application) — [VERIFY] exact format at the time of your filing.
- Lock-in expectations: Regulations do not spell out investment use in detail; some officers currently expect the deposit to remain parked for the duration of the stay permit. This is practice-based and can evolve; a consultant can share current, location-specific expectations.
Everything related to the deposit should be double-checked in real time. Currency controls, bank onboarding rules, and immigration practice change more quickly than high-level PP references.
3. e-Visa (E33F) application mechanics
The Second Home Visa is implemented as an e-Visa with code E33F, issued by the Directorate General of Immigration via the online portal. A consultant can help with:
- Setting up (or acting as) your sponsor account if one is required for your route.
- Uploading scans of passport, bank letters, CV, and any supporting documents in the right file sizes and formats.
- Monitoring system status changes and responding quickly to any “perbaikan” (correction) requests from immigration officers.
Processing times are not guaranteed. Practice-based ranges we hear from partners (last verified June 2026) for clean, straightforward cases are often around a few business days to a few weeks, but delays occur for technical reasons, backlogs, and additional scrutiny. No agent or consultant can promise a specific approval date.
4. Post-arrival reporting and KITAS issuance
After you enter Indonesia using the Second Home e-Visa, you must complete local steps to turn the visa into an electronic KITAS (ITAS) and, where required, register your domicile and police reports. A consultant can coordinate:
- Biometrics appointments (photo, fingerprints) if required by the local office.
- Online activation of your KITAS.
- Address reporting (lapor diri) to the relevant authorities in your city or regency.
Failing to complete these steps can jeopardise your stay permit. Again, practice varies by office; a localised consultant is valuable here.
5. Adjacent KITAS routes and family members
If you do not yet meet the Second Home threshold or if your long-term plans involve work or business, a consultant may suggest alternative routes such as investor KITAS, retirement KITAS, or dependent KITAS for family members. They can explain:
- How a spouse or child can hold a dependant stay permit linked to your Second Home KITAS.
- What happens if you switch from Second Home to another stay permit (for example, potential need to exit and re-enter, or convert in-country).
Work limits, tax considerations, and common misconceptions
No formal work rights
Under current interpretations of PP 48/2021 and IMI-0740.GR.01.01/2022 (last verified June 2026), the Second Home Visa is not a work visa. You should assume:
- No right to be employed in Indonesia by an Indonesian or foreign company.
- No right to act as a director or commissioner in an Indonesian PT/PMA in a way that requires a work permit (IMTA/RPTKA-equivalent structures).
- No right to perform paid services on the ground in Indonesia.
If your goal is active work or business management in Indonesia, a work-authorised KITAS (e.g. investor or employee) is usually more appropriate. A consultant can explain the trade-offs, but they cannot convert Second Home into work rights by contract wording.
Owning businesses and assets
You can typically still:
- Own shares in foreign companies or offshore structures.
- Hold passive investments (for example, listed shares, funds).
- Be a shareholder in a PMA company without holding a work position.
But the dividing line between “passive” and “active” can be blurry and is fact-specific. This is a classic area where you should talk directly to a qualified legal or tax professional, not rely on agent websites or casual forum posts.
Tax-residency realities
The Second Home Visa does not, by itself, exempt you from Indonesian tax rules. Key practical points:
- Indonesia generally treats you as a tax resident if you stay more than 183 days in a 12-month period, or if you are present and intend to reside in Indonesia — last verified June 2026.
- Second Home holders can become Indonesian tax residents and may have to report worldwide income, subject to Double Tax Treaties and any new “expat regime” rules that may be introduced. These rules are in flux and [VERIFY] with a tax adviser.
A good second home visa indonesia consultant will not claim to be a tax expert, but serious firms maintain a referral network of tax professionals to align your immigration plan and fiscal plan.

Why contact us instead of going directly to an agent website?
1. Candid, regulation-sourced explanations
Agent marketing pages often blur the differences between visa types or avoid clear statements like “no work rights”. Government portals, in contrast, can be fragmented and dense. Our role is to bridge that gap:
- We cite the relevant PP and Circular.
- We flag where practice has drifted from original announcements.
- We date-stamp every figure (for example: “last verified June 2026”).
2. Independence and matching
We are not tied to a single operator, so we can:
- Explain trade-offs honestly (for example, Second Home vs. investor KITAS).
- Point you to different partner profiles depending on your complexity (solo retiree vs. entrepreneur with global structures).
Our funding model is clear: no one can pay to change what we publish; if you proceed with our partner they may pay us a referral fee at no extra cost to you.
3. Practice-based reality checks
Regulations say one thing. Local offices sometimes do another. Our editorial work is to collect, compare, and anonymise real cases (approved, delayed, refused) to show patterns such as:
- Document types that trigger extra questions.
- Offices that apply tighter evidence standards on the deposit.
- Common mistakes in online uploads that slow cases down.
We cannot share client identities, but we can share general patterns so you can ask sharper questions of any consultant you engage.
If you want an independent view before you pay any agent or lawyer, you can plan your trip and immigration route with us via WhatsApp and email.
What to include in your first message
Minimum details
To help us help you efficiently, please include:
- Passport nationality (for example: “Australian passport”).
- Deposit plan (for example: “ready to move IDR 2bn into BNI in the next 2 months”).
- Arrival target (for example: “aiming to arrive in Indonesia by November”).
- Location preference (Bali, Jakarta, other).
- Any need for dependants (spouse, minor children).
Optional but helpful context
You can also share:
- Rough global income structure (pensions, dividends, salary elsewhere) for tax-referral purposes.
- Any prior Indonesian visas, overstays, or refusals.
- Whether you will need to work, even part-time, while in Indonesia (so a consultant can explain why Second Home may or may not fit).
Response expectations
Our small editorial team usually replies within a few business days. If we believe the Second Home route is clearly misaligned with your goals (for example, you need employment rights but cannot qualify for a work KITAS yet), we will say so plainly and may still point you toward resources to explore alternatives.
Are you a good fit to contact us?
You are likely a good fit for our partner network if at least one of the following is true:
- You already have, or can comfortably assemble, the IDR 2 billion deposit (last verified June 2026) and want a structured plan for the move.
- You are exploring whether to keep your tax residency elsewhere while spending significant time in Indonesia and need aligned immigration and tax input.
- You need clarity on bringing a spouse or children as dependants on a medium- to long-term basis.
FAQs about contacting a Second Home Visa consultant
How do you help with the Second Home Visa?
We explain the current rules and practice in plain language, then, if you request it, introduce you to an independent second home visa indonesia consultant from our vetted partner network. They handle the formal engagement, document preparation, and application submission; we remain an information resource and do not file visas ourselves.
Do you charge for introductions to consultants?
Access to our published information and initial email or WhatsApp contact is free. If you decide to proceed with a partner we introduce, you will agree fees directly with them. Our independence policy is that no one can pay to change what we publish; if you proceed with our partner they may pay us a referral fee at no extra cost to you.
Are you part of the Indonesian government or Immigration?
No. Secondhomevisaindonesia.com is independent. We are not the Directorate General of Immigration, not the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, and not a law firm. We summarise regulations, Circulars, and practice reports, but we do not issue visas and cannot influence approval decisions.
Can your partners guarantee my Second Home Visa will be approved?
No legitimate consultant can guarantee approval. The decision rests solely with the Directorate General of Immigration. A good consultant can help you understand eligibility, assemble complete documents, and avoid obvious mistakes, but there is always a risk of delay or refusal, especially as policies evolve.
