17th October 2022 – Acting Director General of Immigration, Widodo Ekatjahjana, said that the government is ready to facilitate the entry of investors from Japan to invest in Indonesia.

During his visit to the Consulate General of Japan, he announced that the latest immigration policy is currently on the making, namely the second home visa. This visa will provide convenience and efficiency in the immigration process for foreign investors.

During the visit of the Japanese Consul General Takeyama Kenichi, Ekatjahjana invited Japanese investors to use the facilities provided to increase investment growth in Indonesia. In the near future, the Government would ratify a policy related to the second home visa.

Consul General Takeyama positively welcomed Indonesia’s latest immigration policy plan to make it easier for Japanese investors to invest in Indonesia. On the other hand, he pointed out the issues awaiting for Japanese investors, especially in the terms of visa licensing and immigration residence permit.

He expected the Director General of Immigration to kindly review the regulations that hinder the flow of new investment and the smooth operation of foreign companies.

Currently, there are around 135 Japanese investor tenants in East Java. Takeyama claimed that there are a lot of Japanese who really want to stay in Indonesia longer even after their pension. They want to keep on staying in Indonesia.

PT SIER, which was one of the industrial areas in Indonesia and is a destination for investors from various countries, is said to be very supportive of this policy.

Second Home Visa

The Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) will issue a Second Home Visa for foreigners in the near future. According to Ekatjahjana, the discussion on the Second Home Visa policy is currently in the finalization stage.

Second Home Visa provides fast and precise immigration services while indirectly also providing convenience for the business world which is attracting investment from abroad. This visa is made to encourage investment growth in Indonesia for foreign investors with a validity between 5 to 10 years.
