Naturalisation Fee for Foreigners Raised to Rp75 Million, Renouncing Indonesian Citizenship Costs Rp5 Million
The government has issued a regulation setting the fee for the naturalisation of Foreign Nationals (WNA) into Indonesian Citizens (WNI) at Rp75 million, up from the previous Rp50 million.
The rule is contained in Government Regulation (PP) Number 30 of 2026 concerning the Types and Tariffs of Non-Tax State Revenue Applicable at the Ministry of Law of the Republic of Indonesia.
The regulation was signed by President Prabowo Subianto on 2 July 2026 and promulgated on the same date. It takes effect 30 days after promulgation. According to the annex to the regulation, citizenship by application for foreign nationals is set at Rp75 million per application.
Under the previous rule, PP 45/2024, the same service cost Rp50 million per application.
PP 30/2026 also sets the fee for citizenship through marriage at Rp25 million per application, up from the previous Rp15 million.
Citizenship for children of mixed marriages or children born in jus soli countries who have not yet registered or chosen Indonesian citizenship is set at Rp5 million per application.
Citizenship for children holding dual nationality who fail to declare their choice of Indonesian citizenship or one of their nationalities is also set at Rp5 million per application.
Renouncing Indonesian citizenship incurs a fee of Rp5 million
Meanwhile, Indonesian citizens who wish to renounce their citizenship will also be charged a fee of Rp5 million. The rule takes effect on 1 August 2026.
Minister of Law Supratman Andi Agtas said the tariff increases, which come into force on 1 August 2026, are intended to improve services.
“There is indeed a tariff adjustment, but the point is, first, that the adjustment is aimed at improving services,” Supratman said at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on Monday (20/7).
He noted that the regulation on Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) had not been revised for nearly ten years.
Supratman claimed the move is part of accelerating the digital transformation of government services.
According to him, the additional revenue will be used for equipment maintenance to continue optimising digital services.
“So it is not at all a burden, and it does not apply to all Indonesian citizens,” he explained.
Furthermore, Supratman revealed that the number of applicants seeking to renounce Indonesian citizenship through the Ministry of Law is very small.
He said applications to renounce Indonesian citizenship number fewer than 300.
“Those applying now at the Ministry of Law are only around 200 or 300 people,” he said.
Beyond the fee increase for renouncing Indonesian citizenship, Supratman also said the higher fee for foreign nationals applying to become Indonesian citizens would have little impact.
According to him, applicants seeking Indonesian citizenship are generally people with substantial financial means.
