Frequently Asked Questions
Can I own or run a business on a Retirement Visa?
No. The E33F is strictly a non-working visa. You are legally prohibited from engaging in any local employment, corporate management, or commercial business activities inside Indonesia. If you wish to invest and manage a company, you should apply for an Investor KITAS (E28A) instead.
Is the age minimum of 60 years old flexible?
No, the age requirement of 60 years or older is a strict regulation enforced by the Indonesian Directorate General of Immigration for this specific visa subclass. If you are under 60 and wish to stay long-term, our team can recommend alternative pathways such as the Remote Worker or Pre-Investment visas.
Am I required to buy a property to qualify?
No, you do not need to buy property. A long-term lease agreement (such as renting a villa or an apartment) is perfectly acceptable proof of accommodation. We will assist you in ensuring your rental contract is formatted correctly for the immigration application.
Why must I sign a letter promising to hire a domestic worker?
The Indonesian government requires retirees to contribute positively to the local economy. One way this is achieved is through the creation of jobs for local citizens. Signing the commitment to hire a local housekeeper, gardener, driver, or caregiver fulfills this legal requirement.
Can my spouse join me on this visa if they are under 60?
If your spouse is also 60 or older, they can apply for their own independent E33F visa. If your spouse is under 60, they can typically be sponsored under a Dependent Visa (Join Family) once your primary retirement permit is fully approved.
How many times can the Retirement KITAS be extended?
The E33F Retirement KITAS can be renewed annually. After five consecutive years of holding a Retirement KITAS, you become eligible to apply for a KITAP (Permanent Stay Permit), which grants you a 5-year residency block and vastly simplifies your long-term stay.
