Are you a foreigner in Bali looking to stay for a Bali visa that would let you stay for at least one year? If you’re over 55 years old, why not apply for a Retirement KITAS? Also known as Visa E33F, the Retirement KITAS is a one-year temporary residence permit for foreigners in Bali aged 55 and older who wish to retire in Indonesia.
The Retirement KITAS allows you to live and travel freely within Indonesia and is extendable for up to 5 years. You can enter and exit the country freely, but you won’t be able to work or earn income.
Benefits Of The Retirement KITAS E33F:
With the Retirement KITAS, you can live and retire in Indonesia, enjoying everything that Bali and the country has to offer. You can bring family members with you, travel to and from Indonesia as many times as you wish and have the freedom to explore the country without restrictions.
Do remember that the Retirement KITAS is not a work permit – you won’t be able to work or get paid for any kinds of services while you’re on this KITAS.
What You Need To Know About The Retirement KITAS E33F:
Purpose: Designed for retirees seeking long-term residence in Indonesia.
Eligibility: Open to foreign nationals aged 55 and older.
Validity: The initial visa is valid for one year and can be extended.
Entry Type: Multiple entry, allowing for travel to other countries and back without needing a new visa.
Requirements: Applicants typically need to demonstrate a stable income, property ownership (or a long-term lease), and meet health requirements.
How To Apply For A Retirement KITAS
You can apply for a Retirement KITAS while in Indonesia (onshore) by converting a valid visa, or you can apply from abroad (offshore). Offshore applications typically involve first obtaining a single-entry visa and then completing the KITAS process while in Indonesia.

Retirement KITAS, What To Expect Next:
- Automatic Issuance of e-ITAS and Re-Entry Permit
Upon meeting the above requirements, you will automatically receive the Electronic Limited Stay Permit (e-ITAS) and the Re-Entry Permit upon arrival at the immigration checkpoint if you’re applying offshore. There’s no need to visit the immigration office for these documents, everything will be processed upon entry. - Stay Compliance and Legal Obligations
Remember to adhere to the terms of your stay permit. Violating visa conditions, engaging in prohibited activities, or failing to comply with Indonesian laws can lead to significant consequences, including fines, deportation, and potential legal charges. - Physical Limited Stay Permit Card
In addition to the e-ITAS, you will also receive a physical Limited Stay Permit card, provided to you by MPG Bali Visa for your convenience. - Prohibition on Selling Goods or Services
Please be aware that under the terms of your visa, you are not permitted to work, or sell goods or services within Indonesia during your stay. - Work Restrictions
Engaging in any form of paid employment, whether through compensation, wages, or other forms of remuneration from individuals or businesses, is strictly prohibited under the conditions of your visa.
While in Indonesia, remember to respect the local culture and customs. Financial stability is also essential – to qualify for the visa, you must demonstrate that you can support yourself financially, comply with local laws and all visa terms & conditions.
