        "summary": "The Indonesian government has raised the naturalisation fee for foreign nationals seeking Indonesian citizenship from Rp50 million to Rp75 million, citing a decade without tariff adjustments. Law Minister Supratman Andi Agtas stated the increase, formalised in Government Regulation No. 30 of 2026, will not affect ordinary Indonesians and is part of a broader digital transformation funding effort. The minister also noted the annual quota for naturalisation applications remains capped at 1,500.",
        "content": "<p>The Indonesian government has issued new regulations regarding an\nincrease in the naturalisation fee for foreign nationals (WNA) becoming\nIndonesian citizens (WNI). Under the new rules, the naturalisation fee\nhas risen to Rp75 million, up from the previous Rp50 million.<\/p>\n<p>The regulation is set out in Government Regulation (PP) Number 30 of\n2026 on the Types and Tariffs of Non-Tax State Revenue Applicable at the\nMinistry of Law of the Republic of Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>The regulation was signed by President Prabowo Subianto on 2 July\n2026 and enacted on the same date. It comes into force 30 days after\nenactment. According to the annex to the regulation, citizenship by\napplication from foreign nationals is subject to a fee of Rp75 million\nper application.<\/p>\n<p>Minister of Law Supratman Andi Agtas explained that the policy was\nadopted because the government had not raised the fee in the past 10\nyears.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecondly, the entire Indonesian people need not worry about the\nincrease in non-tax state revenue, which applies specifically to foreign\nnationals who wish to become Indonesian citizens,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Andi further stated that the number of naturalisation slots is\nlimited. The maximum number each year is only 1,500 applications, and\nthis has no impact on the Indonesian public.<\/p>\n<p>He also stressed that those wishing to become citizens must have\nresided in Indonesia for five consecutive years, or 10 non-consecutive\nyears.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are naturally people who are financially capable, and you can\ncompare for yourselves how much it costs to become a citizen in other\ncountries compared to ours. The fee has gone from Rp50 million to Rp75\nmillion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Ministry of Law is currently undergoing a major\ntransformation, which requires funding. The ministry will carry out full\ndigitalisation. This requires funds for equipment maintenance, as the\nministry will not rely on a single service alone. Andi said his office\nhas 530 public services that must be maintained.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed hope that the public would not view this as a sudden\ndecision.<\/p>",
