What the Retirement KITAS actually is
Age and income decide the E33F, not work. It is a permit to live here on money earned somewhere else.
Both the E33F and the E33E lead to KITAP once the renewals have run their course, so the first filing is worth getting right.
KITAP permanent residence- 55 and over
- The E33E Silver Hair route opens at 60.
- USD 3,000 a month
- A pension or equivalent steady income.
- One local worker
- Typically a household helper or driver. An Indonesian requirement, not ours.
- No work here
- Income generating activity in Indonesia is not permitted.
Who it is for
Pension funded retirees settling in Bali rather than visiting it.
Couples
Settling together, on matched permits and one renewal date.
Long renters
Renting a home in Bali, which the permit requires you to evidence.
Future KITAP holders
Building the unbroken chain of renewals that permanent residence needs.

What it takes
Age, income and a home here. The rest is documentation.

The local worker requirement surprises people. It is written into the permit, and it is checked.
What it costs
All in, government fees included. Requirements set by regulation, such as deposits and shareholdings, sit outside this and are yours to hold.
- Retirement KITAS E33F One year, renewable, all in USD 1,290
- Silver Hair E33E deposit Held in a state bank, not paid to us USD 50,000
- Bank balance required Held by you USD 2,000

Government fees are inside our figure. Deposits and balances are eligibility tests you hold yourself.

Best for
- E33F Retirement
- Steady pension income
- E33E Silver Hair
- Five years without annual renewals
A steady pension points to the E33F. Capital and a preference for stability point to the Silver Hair. Under 55 neither applies, and the Second Home Visa is the route.

Three things retirees underestimate
None of them are expensive. All of them cost time.
The local worker is mandatory
One employed local, typically a helper or driver. It is part of the permit rather than a suggestion.

A single large transfer is not the same as USD 3,000 a month. Immigration is looking for a pattern.
