Retirement KITAP Indonesia – Permanent Stay Permit for Retirees
The Retirement KITAP is a Permanent Stay Permit in Indonesia created for retirees who wish to spend their golden years enjoying the peaceful lifestyle, warm climate, and natural beauty of Indonesia’s tropical destinations such as Bali.
This residence permit is issued for 5 years and can be renewed every 5 years for a lifetime, providing long-term legal stability for foreign retirees living in Indonesia.
For retirees who plan to travel abroad, a Multiple Re-Entry Permit (MERP) is required.
The MERP is issued for 2 years and ensures smooth and hassle-free re-entry into Indonesia.
With professional assistance from ABSVISA, the Retirement KITAP process becomes secure, compliant, and stress-free.
