According to Seasia Stats on Wednesday (29\/7\/2026),\nthe cost of naturalisation in Indonesia reaches US$4,187.61, or\napproximately Rp75.71 million.

Meanwhile, Singapore and\nMalaysia recorded much lower costs. The estimated naturalisation cost in\nSingapore is US$139.37, while Malaysia is only around US$75.81.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the list of estimated naturalisation costs in several ASEAN\ncountries:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><p>Indonesia: US$4,187.61 \u2192 approximately Rp75.71 million<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Philippines: US$3,314.48 \u2192 approximately Rp59.92 million<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Thailand: US$325.45 \u2192 approximately Rp5.88 million<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Singapore: US$139.37 \u2192 approximately Rp2.52 million<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Malaysia: US$75.81 \u2192 approximately Rp1.37 million<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The data does not cover all countries in Southeast Asia. Several\ncountries were excluded from the calculation because they have\nnaturalisation policies deemed less transparent or require large-scale\ninvestments, making them incomparable using standard administrative\ncosts.<\/p>\n<p>For information, naturalisation is a legal process that allows\nforeign nationals to obtain citizenship of a country after fulfilling\nthe requirements set by the local government. The cost estimate refers\nto the administrative costs of the naturalisation process and does not\ninclude other costs such as residency requirements, supporting\ndocuments, translation, or legal fees if required.<\/p>",
