Agus Andrianto, the Minister of Immigration and Correctional Institutions, noted: "We hope that the Indonesian diaspora can contribute to the development of the country." He also added that Indonesia recognizes only one citizenship, but many wish to reside here for a long time.
The "Global Citizenship Indonesia" (GCI) program was first introduced by the Ministry of Immigration in November. Eligible participants include holders of foreign passports who were previously Indonesian citizens, as well as their descendants.
Candidates must confirm an annual income of at least $15,000 or a monthly income of $1,500. An "immigration guarantee" is also required. For specialists, an invitation is sufficient, while other applicants must invest at least $5,000 in Indonesian securities, open a deposit in local banks, or purchase real estate worth at least $1 million.
Although foreigners are not allowed to acquire land or houses in Indonesia, they can own property through lease agreements, as stated in the publication.
