Indonesia Permanent Residence 2026: Global Citizenship...

Q: Is GCI the same as dual citizenship?

No. GCI provides permanent residence, not citizenship. You keep your foreign passport. GCI holders cannot vote, run for office, serve in military, or own freehold land. It is closer to India's OCI card than true dual nationality.

Q: Who is eligible for GCI in Indonesia?

Former Indonesian citizens who renounced citizenship, their children and grandchildren (descendants), and foreign nationals of proven Indonesian heritage. Documentation of former citizenship or ancestry is required.

Q: Can GCI holders work in Indonesia?

GCI provides residency rights but work authorization may still require separate permits depending on the type of employment. The regulation is still being clarified for specific work scenarios.
