Summary
Indonesia's Global Citizen program offers indefinite permanent residence to certain former Indonesians, their descendants, and specified close family members without restoring citizenship.
The program has different indexes for former citizens, descendants up to the second degree, spouses, mixed-marriage children, and qualifying family members. Financial guarantees differ by category, while family-reunification categories can receive different treatment from independent applicants.
Eligibility
- You fit one of the current former-citizen, descendant, spouse, or child categories.
- You can prove the qualifying connection with accepted civil, citizenship, or lineage records.
- You meet the income, investment, property, or family-reunification guarantee for your exact index.
- You can comply with the immigration reporting and status-maintenance requirements.
The issuing authority makes the final decision. A quick check can identify a plausible fit, but it cannot confirm approval or replace the current application guidance.
What This Route Allows
- If approved, you receive an indefinite Indonesian permanent stay permit.
- The program can preserve a durable connection to Indonesia without requiring Indonesian citizenship.
- Qualifying family members can use the family categories published within the program.
What This Route Is Not
- It does not restore Indonesian citizenship or create dual citizenship.
- The same financial guarantee does not apply to every profile; the exact index matters.
Next Steps
- Identify the exact Global Citizen index for your former-citizen or family connection.
- Build the civil-status and citizenship document chain proving that connection.
- Confirm the current financial guarantee for that index on the official visa system.
- Apply through Indonesia's official electronic visa process and maintain the required reporting.
