Bali continues to draw retirees with its climate, community and gentle cost of living. If you are planning your retirement here, the good news is there are clear visa routes designed for exactly that in 2026.
The retirement KITAS
The retirement KITAS is aimed at older applicants, usually from the age of 55, who are not working in Indonesia. It grants a longer stay than tourist visas and is renewable, giving you a stable base without the constant extensions of short term visas. Our retirement KITAS service walks you through it.
Typical requirements
Requirements generally include proof of a pension or steady income, health insurance, accommodation in Bali such as a rental agreement, and a passport with good validity. You agree not to take paid work in Indonesia, since this is a retirement route rather than a work permit.
Longer horizons: Second Home Visa
Retirees with capital to place often compare the retirement KITAS with the retirement visa and the Second Home Visa, which offers up to 10 years of residency in exchange for a deposit or property investment. The best fit depends on your budget and how long you plan to stay.
Bringing your spouse
In many cases a spouse can join you on a dependent basis, so couples can settle together. We help you structure the applications so the whole household is covered.
