The five-year "Golden Visa" requires individual investors to set up a company worth $2.5 million, while a 10-year visa requires a $5 million investment. They need to invest $50 million to gain a 10-year visa. "We're launching the golden visa to make it easier for foreign nationals to invest and contribute in Indonesia," he said.
