Overview

In an effort to attract foreign citizens to Indonesia, including investors, global talent and elderly tourists that wish to engage in business activities in the country, the Director-General of Immigration (“Director-General”) has now introduced a set of guidelines that can be consulted by foreign citizens when attempting to secure second-home visas (“Second-Home Visas”) through the issuance of Circular No. IMI-0740.GR.01.01 of 2022 (“Circular 740/2022”). This new policy is expected to provide various benefits, including attracting foreign tourists to the country, which may ultimately lead to a growth in investment.[1]
