Indonesia Launches GCI Programme for Permanent Residency
On January 26, 2026, Indonesia's Directorate General of Immigration launched the Global Citizen of Indonesia (GCI) programme during the 76th Immigration Service Day at the Pengayoman Polytechnic Campus in Tangerang City. This initiative allows foreign nationals with ties to Indonesia to obtain permanent residency without renouncing their original citizenship.
Eligible applicants include former Indonesian citizens, their descendants up to the second generation, legal spouses of Indonesian citizens, and children from mixed marriages. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate a minimum monthly income of approximately USD 1,500, totaling USD 15,000 annually, and provide an immigration guarantee through investments or property ownership.
Family reunification applicants are exempt from the financial guarantee. The application process is entirely digital, and GCI e-visa holders receive their Permanent Stay Permit within 24 hours of arrival.
Minister of Immigration and Corrections Agus Andrianto emphasized the programme's alignment with the government's broader 2026 agenda.
