Bali Second Home Visa: Real Cost, Requirements and Who It Suits
Dreaming of a second home in Bali? Here's how the Second Home Visa works in 2026, what the funds requirement means, and when a KITAS is the better deal.
27 September 2026 · 6 min readWhat is the Second Home Visa?
It's a long-stay permit, typically 5 or 10 years, for foreigners who want to live in Indonesia without working locally. Retirees, remote investors and people splitting the year between home and Bali are its main users.
What's the catch?
You must show proof of substantial funds, usually held in an Indonesian state bank or backed by assets in Indonesia. The required amount is set by Immigration and has changed before, so confirm the current figure before you plan.
Who is it perfect for?
- •Retirees wanting a stable, long base in Bali
- •Wealthy families who visit several times a year
- •Anyone who wants to stop doing visa extensions
Who should pick something else?
- •Remote workers earning abroad: the Digital Nomad (E33G) visa is usually easier.
- •Business owners: a PT PMA plus Investor KITAS.
- •Married to an Indonesian: the Spouse KITAS.
Can I bring my family?
Yes, dependants can usually be included, which is one of its biggest advantages.
What's the process?
We check your eligibility, prepare the fund documentation, submit the application online, then handle biometrics and the final permit. Timing depends on bank arrangements and Immigration processing.
