Retirement Visa Indonesia (E33F KITAS)
The E33F Retirement KITAS is the main retirement visa for Indonesia and Bali: a limited-stay residence permit for foreigners aged 55 and above. It is issued for 1 year and is renewable while you keep meeting the requirements. It does not authorise local employment. Applicants aged 60+ who want a longer, premium route can consider the 5-year E33E “Silver Hair” visa instead. Visio checks your pension / income evidence, sponsor logic and documents before starting the filing. Read the full Bali retirement visa guide: /guides/bali-retirement-visa.

Restrictions and review
Medium complexity. Age, income and insurance evidence must be complete. Retirement KITAS is not a work permit — using it for local employment can result in cancellation.
Payment and refunds
Payment is taken upfront before we submit the application. It covers government fees and our team's work. For complex cases (KITAS, PMA, C12) part of the payment may be non-refundable once filings start — we always tell you before you pay.
Government fees are non-refundable once the application has been filed. The service portion can be refunded if we have not started work yet. Processing times are estimates — Indonesian immigration may delay decisions and Visio is not liable for those delays.

Final eligibility depends on document review and the immigration rules in force at the time of filing. Processing times vary, a human specialist reviews complex cases before submission, and Visio cannot guarantee approval — every visa decision is made by Indonesian immigration authorities. Government fees are set by the authorities and can change.
FAQ
What is the minimum age for the E33F Retirement KITAS?
You must be 55 or older when you apply. The 60+ option with a 5-year stay is a different visa — the E33E “Silver Hair” visa — with higher financial requirements.
How much does the retirement visa for Indonesia cost?
Visio's E33F Retirement KITAS service starts from IDR 11,500,000. The final quote is confirmed after an eligibility check, because sponsor and document scope differ by case.
What income do I need to show?
You generally show a pension or stable income of about USD 1,500 per month, plus a recent bank statement and health insurance valid in Indonesia.
Can I work in Indonesia on the E33F Retirement KITAS?
No. The E33F does not authorise local employment or a salary from an Indonesian company. Using it for work can lead to cancellation of the permit.
How long is the E33F valid and can it be extended?
It is issued for 1 year and is renewable while you keep meeting the age, income, insurance and address requirements.
Where can I read the full retirement visa requirements?
See the full Bali retirement visa guide at /guides/bali-retirement-visa — requirements, documents, timeline, costs and the comparison with the E33E Silver Hair visa.
Can approval be guaranteed?
No. Decisions are made by Indonesian immigration. Visio prepares accurate documents and supports your application, but we cannot guarantee approval.
Do I have to pay upfront?
Yes. We start work after payment because government fees are paid in advance.
Need it faster?
We do not sell faster processing because we cannot guarantee the timing: it depends on immigration, not us. We give you the real timeframe and file on the first working day. If your dates are tight, message us — we will check whether there is enough time and answer honestly.
What if immigration delays the decision?
We keep supporting your application at no extra cost. Visio doesn't control immigration timing but we keep you updated on every change.
What about refunds?
The service portion is refundable if we haven't started work yet. Government fees are non-refundable once filed. See our Refund Policy for details.

This has been such a great experience with amazing help. I'm an older person so I got a little confused at times but I had no need to worry as I was helped straight away. Every question was answered and each problem solved without question. I thank the person serving me very much for their patience. Very good service. Highly recommend. Cheers.
I applied for my Bali visa from Dubai through Visio Bali, and the whole experience was incredibly easy. Everything was handled online through their platform, so there was no stress, no endless WhatsApp messages, and no chasing for updates. The customer service was excellent, everything was completed on time, and I always knew the status of my application. By far the easiest and most convenient visa service I've used. Highly recommended!
