The Second Home Visa, coded E33 and sometimes seen as E33F, is built for people whose relationship with Bali is measured in years rather than weeks. It is aimed squarely at retirees, the financially independent, and long-stay residents — including expats returning to a place they already love — who can demonstrate they have the resources to support themselves here.
Issued for either five or ten years, it trades the recurring admin of shorter permits for genuine long-term peace of mind. It is, deliberately, not a work visa: there is no local employment attached. Instead it is a residence pathway for those whose income comes from pensions, savings or investments, and who simply want a stable, lasting base on the island.
The visa rests on proof that you can comfortably support a long stay. The most commonly cited route is a deposit — a figure of around IDR 2 billion held in a state-owned Indonesian bank is the benchmark people refer to — though ownership of qualifying property can serve as an alternative basis. We confirm the current requirements and help you arrange and evidence whichever path suits your circumstances.
It is worth being clear about what the Second Home Visa is not. It does not grant the right to take a job in Indonesia or to earn locally; that is reserved for work permits and investor categories. Its purpose is residence for the financially self-sufficient. If your days are funded by a pension, a portfolio or accumulated savings rather than a local salary, this is the category designed for you.
Retirees drawn by the climate and pace of life are the obvious fit, but so are younger financially independent individuals and expats who have spent years here and want to formalise a long stay. For anyone tired of renewing short visas and ready to treat Bali as home, a five or ten-year horizon removes that friction entirely. We help you decide whether it is the right long-term move.

No. The Second Home Visa does not permit local employment. It is a residence pathway for retirees and the financially independent who support themselves from pensions, savings or investments. Working locally requires a work permit or an investor category instead.
The Second Home Visa is issued for either five or ten years, giving long-stay residents a stable, long-term base in Indonesia without the need to renew short permits repeatedly.
