Bali Retirement Visa 2026: E33F, E33E (55+) or Second Home

The three routes side by side

All figures are from each visa's page on imigrasi.go.id: the E33F and E33E pages read on 29 October 2026, the E33 and E33G pages on 19 October 2026. Fees are the government's (PNBP) and exclude any agent's charge.

E33F: the income route, one year at a time

The Retirement ITAS is the cheapest to enter: no deposit, only proof of US$3,000 a month of income or allowance and a three-month bank statement, in your name or the sponsor's, showing at least US$2,000. It needs a sponsor, who must hold an account on evisa.imigrasi.go.id and opens the application for you, so in practice most retirees use a licensed agent as sponsor and pay the agent on top of the government fee.

It is issued for one year and extended online on the same portal. The page allows living in Indonesia, business meetings, shopping and tourism, and forbids working outside the permit's purpose or selling goods or services. Agents describe a path to a permanent stay permit (KITAP) after several years of extensions; the official visa page does not set that out, so ask the immigration office or your agent how it applies to you.

E33E: the five-year route from age 55

The E33E, listed as the Second Home visa for older people, is the official route that states an age: 55 or more. It asks for a written commitment to keep at least US$50,000, or the equivalent, in your own account at a state-owned bank, proof of at least US$3,000 a month of income or pension, and a three-month personal bank statement with US$2,000. No sponsor or guarantor is needed. The deposit has to be reported to the immigration office that issued the permit, with proof of the balance, within 90 days of arrival, and kept for as long as the permit runs.

It lasts up to five years for one fee of Rp 13,000,000, and can be extended online to a total of ten years or converted to another permit. Unlike the E33F it allows work, study or other activity once you file a dual-activity report with the issuing office. Family may join, subject to the rules, and the fee is not refunded if the application is refused.

E33 Second Home: the capital route with no age limit

The general Second Home visa asks for capital instead of income: US$130,000 (or the equivalent) in your own account at a state-owned bank, shown within 90 days of arriving, or an apartment (rumah susun) in Indonesia worth at least US$1 million. The deposit has to stay in place for as long as the permit runs. It runs five years, extendable to ten, for Rp 13,000,000, with no sponsor and no age limit, which makes it the choice for a retiree under 55 who has the capital. The Second Home guide covers it in full.

How to apply, step by step

Every route runs through evisa.imigrasi.go.id, with documents uploaded as PDF or JPEG. The visa, once issued, is valid for 90 days: enter Indonesia within that window or apply again. The stay permit and re-entry permit are issued automatically when the immigration officer admits you at the airport.

• Choose the route: income and a sponsor (E33F), age 55 and US$50,000 (E33E), or US$130,000 and no age limit (E33).
• Gather the documents the page lists: passport valid for at least six months, a colour passport photo taken within the past year, a three-month bank statement showing US$2,000, proof of income (E33F, E33E), a CV and an itinerary, and for the E33F a sponsorship letter.
• For the E33F, the sponsor applies from their evisa account; for the E33E and E33 you apply yourself.
• Pay the government fee; immigration states five working days for the E33F and four for the E33E after payment is received.
• Enter within 90 days of issue. On the E33E and E33, report the deposit to the issuing office within 90 days of arrival.
• Extend online before the permit ends; the E33E and E33 cannot exceed ten years in total.

What it costs to live here on each route

The income tests are the government's floor, not a budget. On 29 October 2026 a 2-bedroom villa among Baliestate's partner listings asked a median IDR 38.5 million a month on a monthly contract (187 listings) and IDR 282.5 million a year on a yearly one (198), about IDR 23.5 million a month; a 1-bedroom asked IDR 26 million a month, or IDR 200 million a year. Electricity is metered on top, and a yearly contract is normally paid in advance. The rent prices page carries today's medians by area, and Ubud, Tabanan and Sanur ask less than Canggu; the cost-of-living guide puts the rest of a monthly budget beside the rent.

Property and tax on a retirement visa

A retiree on an E33F or E33E holds a KITAS, which is what Hak Pakai, the registered right to use a house in a foreigner's own name, requires; it runs 30 + 20 + 30 years over state land under PP 18/2021, with a minimum price for a foreigner's house in Bali of IDR 5 billion under ATR/BPN Decree 1241/2022. A leasehold needs no visa at all. Freehold (Hak Milik) is never available to a foreigner; the leasehold guide sets out the routes.

Tax follows the permit. Indonesian tax rules treat a residence permit valid for more than 183 days as evidence of intent to reside, and tax advisers report that a long permit can make you an Indonesian tax resident on worldwide income independently of the days you actually spend here; the 183-day guide explains what that means for a pension paid abroad. Ask a tax adviser before you choose a five-year permit over a one-year one on that ground alone.
