Indonesia has generated Rp 48 trillion (US$2.86 billion) worth of investment in connection with the issuance of the Golden Visa, a special residency permit introduced last year to invite foreign investors to the country. According to the Directorate General of Immigration, a total of 1,012 golden visas have been issued as of Sept. 23, reflecting the “international community’s confidence in Indonesia’s investment climate”. Acting immigration director general Yuldi Yusman reported that the issuance of the Golden Visa had also contributed Rp 12.96 billion in nontax state revenue. “The Indonesian Golden Visa, one of the Directorate General of Immigration’s flagship programs, is intended to support national economic growth,” Yuldi said, as quoted in a press release published on Thursday. Foreign companies establishing subsidiaries in Indonesia account for the lion’s share of the investment at Rp 46.5 trillion while personal investors contributed Rp 249.3 billion, and other Golden Visa recipients the remaining Rp 1.45 trillion. The immigration office revealed that the people receiving Golden Visa’s so far originated from 61 countries. “The achievement of the Golden Visa [program] as of September 2025 has proven that Indonesia is becoming increasingly attractive to global investors and talents. We hope this positive trend continues to support national development and strengthen Indonesia’s economy,” Yuldi concluded.
