Foreigner Naturalization Fees Rise to $4,600; Renouncing Citizenship Costs $325

The Indonesian government has revised the fees for foreigners seeking citizenship, with the application cost now set at Rp75 million (approximately $4,600 USD), an increase from the previous Rp50 million.

“

There has indeed been a tariff adjustment, but the core is, one, the tariff adjustment is in order to improve services.

This adjustment is outlined in Government Regulation (PP) No. 30 of 2026, which also revises tariffs for citizenship acquired through marriage, now set at Rp25 million, and for children of mixed marriages or those born under jus soli who haven't declared nationality, at Rp5 million.

Minister of Law and Human Rights, Supratman Andi Agtas, explained that the tariff adjustments, effective August 1, 2026, are aimed at enhancing service quality. He noted that the previous regulation for state revenue from non-tax sources had not been revised in nearly a decade.

“

So, it is not something that burdens at all and it does not apply to all Indonesian people.

Agtas further stated that the increased fees will fund the maintenance of equipment and drive the optimization of digital services. He assured that the changes are not intended to burden the public and that the number of Indonesian citizens relinquishing their status, which also incurs a Rp5 million fee, remains relatively low, with fewer than 300 applicants annually.

The applicants now at the Ministry of Law are only around 200 or 300 people.
