Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to my visa if I fail to deposit the USD 50,000 within 90 days?
The USD 50,000 deposit into an Indonesian state-owned bank is a strict legal condition of the E33E visa. If the funds are not deposited and verified within the 90-day window following your arrival, your Golden Visa status may be subject to review or cancellation by immigration authorities.
Can I withdraw my USD 50,000 deposit during my 5-year stay?
The deposit is meant to remain in your personal Indonesian bank account as long-term proof of your financial commitment. Withdrawing the core principal amount below the USD 50,000 threshold during your stay can invalidate the terms of your 5-year permit. However, you are entirely free to use any interest or investment returns generated by that account.
Can I bring my spouse with me under this visa?
Am I legally allowed to work or operate a business with an E33E visa?
No. The Silver Hair Visa is strictly a retirement residency permit. You are legally prohibited from taking up local employment or running an active local business that earns revenue within Indonesia. If you wish to actively run a business on the ground, a PT PMA establishment paired with an Investor KITAS (E28A) is the correct route.
What is the difference between the E33E and the old standard Retirement KITAS?
The old retirement visa required an active local Indonesian sponsor (usually a designated travel agency), mandatory local staff hiring, and had to be renewed every single year. The E33E Silver Hair Visa removes the need for a local sponsor entirely, grants a full 5 years upfront, and includes exclusive Golden Visa (E33B) privileges like airport fast-track lanes.
Is my global income or pension taxed by the Indonesian government?
Indonesia operates on a worldwide income tax system for residents who stay past 183 days. However, under specific Golden Visa provisions and tax treaties, foreign-sourced pension incomes often enjoy exemptions or favorable treatment depending on your exact tax residency status. We provide expert cross-border tax consultations to help you structure this correctly.
