For foreign entrepreneurs and investors, Indonesia’s Investor Visa is a highly attractive permit. It offers a streamlined path to residency, eliminating the need for a separate work permit and allowing the visa holder to work as a Director or Commissioner. However, while the benefits are clear, the eligibility requirements are often misunderstood.

The single most critical factor in securing an Investor Visa is not your personal background or a simple application—it is the capital structure of your Indonesian company, a PT PMA.

The Legal Cornerstone: Capital as a Qualification

The Indonesian government has established clear regulations linking a company’s investment value to the eligibility for an Investor Visa. To qualify, your newly established PT PMA must meet a specific minimum investment threshold. This investment is not just about the money you have in the bank; it is formally declared in your company’s Notarized Deed of Establishment.

This means that the decision to pursue an Investor Visa is made long before the application is submitted. It is a strategic choice embedded in your company’s foundation. A single misstep here—such as undercapitalizing the company or failing to structure the deed correctly—can make you ineligible for the visa, regardless of your other qualifications.

Beyond the Numbers: The Strategic Implications

Navigating this requirement is more than just meeting a minimum number. It involves:

• Understanding the Law: The investment threshold can be influenced by changes in government regulations.
• Correct Documentation: Your company’s Deed of Establishment must be meticulously drafted by a trusted Notary Public, accurately reflecting the declared capital.
• Proof of Investment: The government requires proof that the capital is not merely a number on paper but a genuine, committed investment.

Without proper guidance, it is easy to make a mistake that could lead to your visa application being rejected, forcing you to restructure your company—a costly and time-consuming process.
