        "summary": "Indonesian singer Anggun, now a Golden Visa recipient, says she has returned as a local resident (warlok) and will pay taxes in Indonesia with an NPWP. She argues the Golden Visa can entice diaspora to return, boosting the economy and national research, and explains that her previous move abroad was to pursue an international career amid discrimination; the programme enables a homecoming.",
        "content": "<p>Actually, in several other countries they have already implemented\nthe Golden Visa in many places, and that\u2019s why I am very relieved that\nIndonesia is offering this programme as well, because it\u2019s about time,\nas this may be one way to prevent citizens from scattering, and it will\ncontribute economically in real terms and to the country\u2019s research as\nwell,\u201d Anggun said as she gave her testimony at the Golden Visa outreach\nin the Tanah Abang area of Central Jakarta, on Thursday (21 May\n2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a Golden Visa holder, Anggun emphasised that she is now returning\nto being a local resident (warlok). She admitted that she already has an\nNPWP to pay taxes in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have become a warlok, indeed a warlok. And I have become a local\nresident and already have an NPWP. Of course, since I live here, I\nshould pay taxes here,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnggun said she was glad when she was granted the Golden Visa. She\nnoted that many Indonesian diaspora want to return to Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause I was given the opportunity, invited by this Golden Visa, my\nwhole family can come, with pleasure, you know. In other words, as far\nas you go, you will want to return home. You will want to return home.\nThere are many people, friends in the diaspora who feel the same, and\nnow they can,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnggun then explained her reasons for going abroad. She emphasised\nthat her reasons for going abroad were not to run away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerhaps last year, there were people who said there was that\nhashtag, \u2018just run away\u2019. I am not running away. I went abroad to build\nan international career, but at that time it felt like I was forced to\nrelinquish citizenship, because there was real discrimination, something\nI truly felt and experienced. So now, with this programme, we can return\nhome,\u201d she added.<\/p>",
