Indonesia Citizenship in 2026: What PP No. 30/2026 Changes for Foreign Investors

Consider a Singaporean tech executive who has run a Jakarta subsidiary for six years, married an Indonesian citizen, and now wants to understand what changed for Indonesia citizenship applicants in 2026. This article answers that question directly.

Government Regulation (PP) No. 30 of 2026 introduces a new framework for non-tax state revenue (PNBP) across the Ministry of Law (Kemenkum, formerly Kemenkumham), including updated tariffs for Indonesia citizenship and naturalization services. Signed by President Prabowo Subianto on 2 July 2026 and effective 1 August 2026, it replaces PP No. 45 of 2024.

For long-term expatriates, investors, and high-net-worth individuals planning their future in Indonesia, this regulation reshapes the financial and procedural pathway toward Indonesia citizenship, permanent residency, and business establishment. The detailed tariff breakdown, compared against the previous framework, follows later in this article, alongside guidance on how foreign investors can position their application to succeed.

What Does PP No. 30 Tahun 2026 Actually Change?

PP No. 30 Tahun 2026 governs the types and rates of non-tax state revenue (PNBP) applied across the Ministry of Law. It replaces PP No. 45 Tahun 2024 and was signed by President Prabowo Subianto on 2 July 2026, taking effect 1 August 2026.

Director General of General Legal Administration Widodo confirmed the regulation also reflects the ministry’s renamed structure, shifting from Kemenkumham to Kemenkum, alongside adjusted tariffs covering citizenship, intellectual property, and notarial services nationwide.

Minister of Law Supratman Andi Agtas noted that the tariff structure had remained largely unchanged for almost a decade, describing the update as a fairness-based adjustment intended to modernize legal services rather than burden the general public.

New Indonesia Citizenship Tariffs Under PP 30/2026

The most closely watched component of PP 30/2026 concerns Indonesia citizenship costs. The table below compares the previous PNBP tariffs under PP 45/2024 with the current rates now in force.

Other categories, including dual-citizenship children choosing Indonesian nationality and former citizens reclaiming their status, remain at more accessible tariffs, keeping those specific pathways open even as headline naturalization fees rise.

Why Is Indonesia Raising the Cost of Citizenship?

For many expatriate families, the jump from IDR 15 million to IDR 25 million for marriage-based citizenship is a real budgeting concern, especially alongside other legal and notarial costs already required for the application.

According to Minister Supratman, the renunciation tariff increase affects a narrow group. Only around 300 people have applied to relinquish Indonesian citizenship to date, meaning the change carries limited impact on the wider public.

This is where preparation matters most. Families exploring Indonesia citizenship through marriage often benefit from a pre-application document audit, the kind BHA’s advisory team provides, before committing to the new IDR 25 million tariff.

What Are the Indonesia Citizenship Requirements in 2026?

Beyond the PNBP tariff, applicants must satisfy statutory requirements under Law No. 12 of 2006 concerning Citizenship of the Republic of Indonesia. These conditions apply regardless of an applicant’s investment profile or nationality.

• At least 18 years old and legally competent to apply
• Continuous legal residency in Indonesia for 5 years, or 10 years on a cumulative non-consecutive basis
• Working proficiency in Bahasa Indonesia and recognition of Pancasila as the state ideology
• No record of serious criminal offenses under Indonesian law
• Sufficient and steady income or employment to support the applicant and dependents
• Willingness to relinquish prior citizenship, since Indonesia generally does not permit dual citizenship for adult naturalization
• Payment of the applicable PNBP tariff, now IDR 75,000,000 for standard naturalization

Naturalization also operates under an annual government quota, according to the Ministry of Law. This means meeting every requirement does not guarantee approval within the same year an application is filed.

How Does PT PMA Registration Fit Into the Citizenship Pathway?

A PT PMA (Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing), Indonesia’s foreign-owned limited liability company structure, is typically the entry point for investors before pursuing an Investor KITAS or an eventual Indonesia citizenship application.

Under prevailing investment regulations, a PT PMA generally requires an investment plan above IDR 10 billion per business line, excluding land and buildings, alongside a minimum paid-up capital threshold set by the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM).

PP No. 30 Tahun 2026 also revises PNBP tariffs processed through the Ministry of Law’s Directorate General of General Legal Administration (AHU) system, including a fee of up to IDR 2,000,000 to unblock a PT PMA that failed to submit its annual report.

BHA’s company registration service handles PT PMA incorporation from deed approval through AHU to BKPM registration, helping investors avoid the compliance gaps that later complicate a residency or Indonesia citizenship application.

What Is Investor KITAS Indonesia and How Does It Work?

Investor KITAS Indonesia, officially the E28A permit, grants a limited stay permit to a foreign shareholder or director whose ownership in a PT PMA meets the capital threshold set by immigration authorities.

Holding an Investor KITAS for five consecutive years, or ten years on a non-consecutive basis, builds the legal residency record required before applying for standard Indonesia citizenship naturalization under PP No. 30 Tahun 2026.

After the qualifying period, Investor KITAS holders may also apply for a Permanent Stay Permit (KITAP), which removes the annual renewal cycle and further strengthens a future naturalization application.

What Are the Indonesia Golden Visa Requirements in 2026?

Indonesia’s Golden Visa program offers 5 or 10 year residency to investors who prefer not to actively run a company. Individual passive investment options include government bonds, listed shares, or time deposits at state-owned banks.

In January 2026, the government reduced thresholds for the Nusantara (IKN) Golden Visa tied to Indonesia’s new capital in East Kalimantan. More than 1,000 Golden Visas had already been issued under the revised framework, according to global immigration advisory firm Fragomen.

Golden Visa holders often qualify for a Permanent Stay Permit (KITAP) shortly after arrival, skipping the standard five-year wait, which can meaningfully shorten the overall timeline toward eventual Indonesia citizenship.

What Happens If You Try to Bypass the New Rules?

With naturalization fees now considerably higher, some applicants may be tempted to use unauthorized intermediaries or falsified documents to qualify for a lower tariff bracket. Indonesian law treats this as a serious offense.

• Application rejection and forfeiture of non-refundable PNBP fees
• Deportation and permanent blacklisting from re-entry into Indonesia
• Criminal prosecution under the Penal Code (KUHP) and Law No. 12 of 2006 on Citizenship
• Suspension or revocation of a sponsoring company’s Business Identification Number (NIB)

Why Work With an Indonesia Citizenship Consultant?

Given the quota system, residency calculations, and higher tariffs under PP 30/2026, many applicants choose to work with an Indonesia citizenship consultant rather than manage the Ministry of Law process independently.

An experienced Indonesia citizenship consultant pre-audits supporting documents, tracks the annual naturalization quota, and liaises directly with the Ministry of Law, reducing the risk of a rejected and non-refundable IDR 75,000,000 application.

BHA supports this process from document preparation through the swearing-in ceremony, and extends the same advisory scope to Golden Visa structuring, Investor KITAS applications, PT PMA registration, and ongoing tax compliance for relocating investors.

Moving Forward With Confidence Under Indonesia’s New Rules

PP 30/2026 signals that Indonesia citizenship is increasingly reserved for committed, high-value investors and long-term residents. The higher tariffs and quota system reward careful preparation over rushed applications.

BHA’s advisory team helps foreign investors and expatriates plan each step, from PT PMA incorporation and Investor KITAS to Golden Visa structuring and final naturalization, reducing the risk of delays, rejections, or non-refundable losses.
