Retirement Visa Bali (E33F) 2026 — Retire in Bali Legally

The E33F Retirement KITAS lets foreigners aged 55+ retire in Bali on a one-year, renewable residence permit. Requirements: USD 3,000/month income, a USD 2,000 bank balance, health insurance, a Bali rental, and employing one local worker. For a five-year option, the E33E “Silver Hair” visa is open to applicants aged 60+ with a USD 50,000 deposit.

Last updated: 2026 · Figures verified against imigrasi.go.id, Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi. The E33F minimum age is 55; the E33E “Silver Hair” minimum age is 60.

What Is the E33F Retirement KITAS?

The E33F Retirement KITAS is Indonesia’s dedicated retirement residence permit — the visa that lets a foreigner retire in Bali legally, on a one-year permit that renews year after year. It’s the route taken by tens of thousands who’ve decided that Bali’s climate, cost of living and pace are where they want to spend their later years, and it gives that decision a secure legal footing.

The defining qualifier is age and income, not work. The E33F is open to applicants aged 55 and over who can show a stable income of USD 3,000 per month (a pension or equivalent), a USD 2,000 bank balance, valid health insurance, and a rental home in Bali. One distinctive Indonesian requirement is that retirees employ one local worker — typically a household helper or driver — which the permit is designed to encourage as a local contribution. The E33F does not permit work or income-generating activity in Indonesia: it’s a permit to live, funded by income from outside.

For those who want a longer horizon, there’s a second, premium route — the E33E “Silver Hair” visa, a five-year retirement residence permit for applicants aged 60 and over, secured by a USD 50,000 deposit in a state bank (or qualifying assets). The Silver Hair trades a larger up-front commitment for five years of stability instead of annual renewals — and we compare the two in detail below.

Both the E33F and E33E are paths to permanent residency: a retiree on a renewable KITAS can become eligible for KITAP after a qualifying period. As a licensed agency, Juara Holding Group confirms which retirement route fits your age, income and timeline, assembles the income and rental evidence immigration expects, and files through the official portal — so your retirement in Bali starts settled, not stressed.

Two routes, one goal: the E33F (age 55+, 1-year renewable) is the standard retirement KITAS; the E33E Silver Hair (age 60+, 5-year, USD 50,000 deposit) is the long-horizon premium option.

E33F vs E33E Silver Hair vs Second Home — Which Retirement Route?

Retirees in Bali have three serious long-stay options. Here’s the clear comparison:

Rule of thumb: if you have a steady pension and are 55+, the E33F is the natural fit. If you’re 60+ and prefer to lodge a deposit for five years’ stability rather than prove monthly income, the E33E Silver Hair suits. And if you’re under 55, or want the longest possible stay regardless of age and have the capital, the Second Home Visa (no upper age limit, 5–10 years) is the route — it’s not strictly a “retirement” visa, which is exactly why younger early-retirees use it. We’ll model all three against your numbers.

Who Is the Retirement KITAS For?

The E33F (and E33E) is the right route if you are:

• Aged 55 or over (60+ for the Silver Hair) and planning to live in Bali in retirement.
• Funded by a pension or steady overseas income of around USD 3,000/month (E33F), rather than working locally.
• Renting a home in Bali (or planning to) and comfortable employing one local worker.
• Wanting a secure, renewable legal status instead of cycling through tourist visas.
• Thinking long-term — both routes lead toward KITAP permanent residency.

You likely need a different route if you are:

• Under 55 but want to live in Bali long-term → the Second Home Visa (age 19+) is your route.
• Intending to work or earn locally → retirement permits prohibit this; consider a Working or Investor KITAS.
• Not ready to commit → spend a couple of months on a B211A visit visa first, then convert.

E33F Retirement KITAS Requirements 2026

For the E33E “Silver Hair” (5-year): minimum age 60, and a USD 50,000 deposit in a state bank (or qualifying assets) in place of the monthly-income test. We confirm the current Silver Hair document set, which differs from the standard E33F.

Retirement KITAS Cost 2026 — Transparent Pricing

Retirement-visa pricing is an area where loose numbers circulate online, so we’re deliberately precise. Our all-in E33F service fee is USD 1,290, with government immigration fees included. The figures that stay separate are official, not ours: the E33E Silver Hair’s USD 50,000 deposit (a deposit you retain in a state bank — not a charge), and your monthly-income and insurance requirements.

All-in, government fees included. Premium, fully-managed service — not the cheapest, the most thorough. The E33E’s USD 50,000 is a deposit you retain, not a charge — an official requirement, separate from our fee. We confirm the USD 1,290 E33F all-in figure in writing — no hidden charges. (The 5-year E33E Silver Hair is quoted separately.) See the full pricing page.

6. Renew or upgrade. We manage your annual E33F renewal — or, when the time is right, your move to KITAP permanent residency.

The Cost of Retiring in Bali — A Realistic Picture

Beyond the visa itself, retirees rightly want to know what daily life costs. Bali remains markedly more affordable than most Western countries: a comfortable lifestyle — a rental villa, household help, eating out, healthcare and leisure — is achievable on the kind of income the E33F requires, which is part of why the USD 3,000/month threshold maps so well to a comfortable Bali retirement. Costs vary widely by area — Sanur (a long-established retiree hub), Ubud and the quieter south differ from the busy Canggu–Seminyak strip — and by lifestyle. Our Sanur location guide covers the retiree-friendly realities. For a fuller breakdown, see our retire in Bali guide. We’re visa specialists, not financial advisers — but we’ll always give you an honest picture of what the permit requires and why.

From Retirement KITAS to KITAP — Permanent Residency

Retirement is a long game, and both the E33F and E33E are recognised routes to permanent residency. A retiree who maintains a renewable retirement KITAS can become eligible for KITAP after a qualifying period (commonly around five years for retirees), replacing annual renewals with a five-year permit that’s extendable indefinitely. KITAP simplifies banking, eases long-term life in Bali, and is the natural destination for a retiree settling permanently. We track your eligibility from the first permit and prepare your conversion to permanent residency after 5 years when you qualify.

Frequently Asked Questions — Retirement Visa Bali (E33F / E33E)

What is the minimum age for the Bali Retirement Visa?
The E33F Retirement KITAS has a minimum age of 55. The five-year E33E “Silver Hair” visa has a higher minimum age of 60. If you’re under 55 and want to live in Bali long-term, the Second Home Visa (age 19+, no upper limit) is the route instead. We confirm the current rules for your age and plans.

How much income do I need to retire in Bali?
The E33F requires a stable income of around USD 3,000 per month (a pension or equivalent), plus a USD 2,000 bank balance, health insurance and a Bali rental. The E33E Silver Hair replaces the monthly-income test with a USD 50,000 deposit. We confirm the exact, current thresholds before you apply.

What is the difference between the E33F and the E33E Silver Hair visa?
The E33F is a one-year, renewable retirement KITAS from age 55, based on monthly income (USD 3,000). The E33E Silver Hair is a five-year permit from age 60, based on a USD 50,000 deposit rather than monthly income. The E33F suits pension-income retirees; the Silver Hair suits older retirees wanting longer stability.

Can I work on a Bali retirement visa?
No. Both the E33F and E33E are retirement permits and do not allow work or income-generating activity in Indonesia — they’re designed for foreigners living on overseas income. If you want to work or run a business, you’d need a Working KITAS (E23) or Investor KITAS (E28A) instead.

Do I really have to employ a local worker?
The E33F requires retirees to employ one local worker — commonly a household helper or driver — as a local contribution built into the visa. It’s a standard part of the retirement KITAS, and we’ll explain how it’s satisfied as part of your application.

Can a retirement visa lead to permanent residency?
Yes. A retiree on a renewable retirement KITAS can become eligible for KITAP after a qualifying period (commonly around five years), replacing annual renewals with a five-year permanent permit that’s extendable indefinitely. We track your eligibility and prepare the conversion when you qualify.
