Navigating Indonesian Immigration for Extended Stays
As of 2026, Indonesia offers several pathways for foreigners to obtain long-term stays, making it achievable to stay in Bali 6 months a year. The most common and suitable options for part-time retirees include the Second Home Visa (SHV) and the B211A visa (Social/Cultural or Tourist Visa) extended multiple times. The Second Home Visa is particularly attractive, offering a stay of up to 10 years for those who meet the financial requirements, such as owning property in Indonesia or having substantial bank deposits. This visa provides the most flexibility and peace of mind for extended periods.
Alternatively, the B211A visa, initially issued for 60 days, can be extended up to four times, allowing for a continuous stay of approximately six months. This option is often more accessible for those who may not meet the criteria for the Second Home Visa but still wish to spend a significant part of the year in Bali. Our team stays abreast of the latest immigration policies and procedures, ensuring that you are guided through the application process with accuracy and efficiency. We assist with document preparation, submission, and any necessary follow-ups, minimizing potential delays and complications.
